Thecomposite of these data revealed several disadvantages of this track, which served as themotivation for the most recent revision.1. Sophomore and junior teams experienced challenges proceeding to design and simulations phases without having completed (or being enrolled in) essential engineering courses offered later in the junior and senior years.2. As the junior year contains the most challenging courses in our curriculum, the teams experienced the most turnover during that time, as some students transitioned out of the program or fell

demonstrate that overallknowledge is not diminished when peer instruction is the primary form of learning.IntroductionThe authors, along with many other engineering educators, have been strong proponents ofactive learning. Active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem‐based learning have beendemonstrated repeatedly to be more effective than lecture alone [2]. Students are 1.5 times lesslikely to fail in courses that use active learning [3]. When one of the authors was granted aFulbright Scholar Award to teach a biochemistry course in Uganda, the plan was to reproduceteaching methods used in the United States such as clicker questions, think-pair-share, and teamactivities which would be easy for the students to adopt [4].
