classroom. A literature review of experientiallearning found that most experiential learning research centers on in-class programs and coursesand has assessed a range of skills including technical, professional, and personal outcomes(Jamison et al., 2022). However, curriculum change takes time. Engineering curricula are alreadyextensive and time-consuming, so adjusting or adding more courses is not always possible.Therefore, out-of-classroom experiences have emerged as another way to develop the skillsnecessary to create engineering professionals.Many out-of-class activities have been shown to give students the opportunity to learnprofessional skills including service-learning, internships, co-operative education, engineeringsocieties, and design

approach. El Paso, Texasis the 23rd largest city in America and the sixth largest city in Texas. An important port of entryto the U.S. from Mexico, El Paso is ideally suited to conduct this applied research forimplementing and evaluating experiential learning technologies in mathematics and scienceeducation. El Paso has a Hispanic population of over 80% and is a high-technology areasupporting numerous health industries involved in manufacturing Class I, Class II, and Class IIImedical-devices for healthcare professionals. The project will engage students with their familiesas well as health sciences and STEM educators, thereby enabling students to more deeplyconceptualize math and science knowledge and skills through a transdisciplinary

to build on the sample that has achieved positive results. Lianchuanghas rich experience in the joint training of professional masters in engineering, which will bedescribed in detail in the following sections. As a first-class engineering university in China,Tsinghua University has accumulated many years in the cultivation of engineering mastersthrough school-enterprise cooperation, and is also one of the first universities in China to offerprofessional degree in engineering. The two cooperation modes are similar in terms of participantsand organizational forms, and have a certain degree of comparability. Both cooperation modesfocus on the off-campus practice of full-time professional masters in engineering, and in the twoselected cases

enter the process of reflection, they may have to determine what is a good orprecise enough calculation or estimation and determine which elements are typical for theproblem. The iterative process of critique and revision may involve students overridingmathematically "proven" results and determining appropriate uses of technology tools.Methods: The goal of this research is to conduct a preliminary investigation into the effects ofparticipation in co-curricular activities, as an extension of AIMS course content, on studentoutcomes. Survey data was collected from students enrolled in 5 AIMS courses during the lastweek of classes. A total of 57 responses were recorded from 14 graduate students and 43undergraduate students.

the academic year, allows sophomores to seniors the ability to participate in one offour different tracks: Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Industry, Research, or EngineeringProjects in Community Service (EPICS). Students spend one day a week in meetings learninggeneral topics: user-centered engineering design, engineering ethics, project management,teamwork, technical presentations, etc. Depending on the track students select, they wouldparticipate in additional technical skill sessions to assist with their specific projects. The sessionsare designed to provide instruction in various technical topics directly related to their project orinterest. Student groups meet outside of the normal meetings to work on their projects as a teamand/or with

government organizations to provide value for them whilelearning about innovation and entrepreneurship. This paper presents the framework of theprogram and analyzes the feedback from the major stakeholders. The program started with agenerous donation from an alumnus to support programs that help to break the silos in academia.Consequently, the SSP, piloted in the fall of 2021 with business and engineering students, nowincludes students from the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Dayton. Thestudents have their regular course loads and, in addition, put in 10 hours of work each week byworking on projects for the entrepreneurs. The students are paid from the program’s fund.During the 2021/22 academic year, the students’ work helped to

identified 41 articles that dealt with the model ofWIL. A summary of these select articles is presented in this section.There are three major systems of WIL, namely the Gilde, the Co-op, and the MKB-route.Each of the variants departs from the premise that students put their academic knowledge intoaction through relevant work experience outside the classroom and then bring the challengesand insights they gain on the job back to the class for further analysis and reflection.  The Gilde variant (literally craftsman’s guild system variant) goes the farthest, where the students are placed in paid positions from the beginning of their studies and the ratio of workplace/school bank in this model is roughly 60/40.  The Co-op variant

class structure of the two-semester program follows typical patterns seen in traditionalcapstone design courses, laboratory courses, and seminar courses. Class time consists of a singleweekly three-hour seminar-style session that starts at the beginning of the fall semester (semester1 of the program) through to the end of the spring semester (semester 2 of the program). Thethree-hour weekly class is effectively a traditional instruction experience for the first severalweeks of the first semester as students become acclimated to their teams, coach, and project. Theweekly class eventually fulfills more of a seminar function as teams begin retreating into thespecifics of the life cycle of their project. Seminar topics include several broad
