These four key insightsinclude: 1.) Relevance and collaboration with stakeholders, students, academe, industry, andsociety, 2.) Students engagement and ownership, 3.) Scaffolding and integration across levels,and 4.) Importance of assessment.IntroductionWhile experiential learning has long been considered part of engineering education since themid-1950s [1] systematic review articles have been limited in their scope and coverage years.One of the most comprehensive studies documenting experiential learning in engineeringeducation was published in 1976 by Harrisberger

For the future workforce, the ability to collaborate well inmultidisciplinary teams is a highly valued professional skill. Many educational institutions haveimplemented project-based learning to develop students’ teamwork skills. One of the topchallenges is managing potential conflicts after team formation. Although constructive conflictmay increase team productivity according to Tuckman, conflicts were viewed as negative and theprimary

procedure.Goldberg and Somerville describe engineering as a “team sport” [15] that requires interactionand collaboration to be effective. Engineering students that actively and collaboratively learngenerally perform better and retain information longer [16]. In a landmark study funded by theCarnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, researchers found that learning to workcollaboratively in labs is a critical skill for engineering students [17]. Stone and McAdamsbelieve that hands-on engineering education activities can be unwieldy for individual students,but are well-suited for groups [18]. Pusca et al. believe that engineering labs in particular shouldbe hands-on [19].In the activity discussed here, students select what teams they will work on
EM.IntroductionEntrepreneurship education has been regarded as an important component of undergraduatetraining programs in the last decade [1], including in engineering education [2]. For example,94% or above of faculty and academic administrators believe that students should have access toinnovation and entrepreneurship opportunities via electives and/or extracurricular activities,despite their personal engagement level in those opportunities [2]. Most respondents in the study,however, identify challenges to making entrepreneurship a core component of curriculum, with a“lack of room in curriculum” reported as the most common challenge [2].The author(s) acknowledge The Kern Family Foundation’s support and collaboration through theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network
