This technique wasfirst introduced by (Wood, Burner, and Ross, 1976) and has been used by many educators inengineering education (Newstetter, 2005, Nelson, 2012, MccLeod & van der Veen, 2019). Thescaffolding technique typically involves teaching a concept, reinforcing the concept, and taking astep back to allow students to connect the concepts to practice. The authors applied this techniqueby structuring the training sessions such that the lectures, in-class activities, and laboratorysessions are staged to create alternating opportunities for classroom and hands-on learning.Planned Training StructureBasic engineering concepts are first taught in the classroom by relating back to what theparticipants see in the field.
