These approaches includeproblem-based learning [4] and project-based learning [5], which are described as student-oriented,collaborative, self-directed, and focused on real-world challenges. Service-learning (SL) is anothertechnique used in engineering curricula, which engages students in community service to nurture a senseof social responsibility [6,7]. There are common goals among these strategies which align withUNESCO’s competencies, including understanding stakeholder needs, developing

Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Developing a Learning Innovation for an Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering Course through Faculty, Engineer, and Student CollaborationAbstractEngineering education research is often motivated by closing the gap in students’ preparednessfor the engineering industry. One way to achieve this is by developing authentic learningcontexts, activities, and problems that are representative of the engineering workplace. Thisapproach is not novel in engineering education research or the engineering curriculum; however,only a limited number of studies have closely and collaboratively worked with students, faculty,and engineers to develop learning innovations (LI).

service learning. In asimilar service learning project in which first year engineering students taught engineering tosixth graders, some students reported benefiting from learning how to work as a team andeffectively communicate to a “real audience” [11], both skills identified as essential for engineersby both ABET accreditation outcomes and future employers. It is unclear if the increase inteamworks skills in this project was a result of the interdisciplinary collaboration in isolation orin combination with the service learning project.A consistent concern in engineering education is retention and attrition. The results of thisproject showed that participating students on average exhibited more professional persistencethan the comparison

students often struggle with mechanical engineering concepts due to a lack of prior knowledge31 and a poor foundation in mathematics and physics [2].32 Project-based learning, problem-based learning [3], inquiry-based learning [4], and experiential33 learning [5] are among the pedagogical methods used in engineering education that emphasize34 active learning, student-centered approaches, and engagement with real-world problems. One35 pedagogical approach that relates directly to the current study is the use of peer teaching. Peer36 teaching involves students teaching and learning from each other in a structured and37 collaborative manner. This approach has been shown to have several benefits, including
engineering education can benefit from having engineeringstudents work on team projects that involve a blend of cross-disciplinary and mixed-agedcollaborations. An NSF-funded project set out to explore this idea by partnering undergraduateengineering students enrolled in a 300-level electromechanical systems course with preserviceteachers enrolled in a 400-level educational technology course to plan and deliver roboticslessons to fifth graders at a local school. Working in small teams, students designed, built, andcoded bio-inspired robots. The collaborative activities included: (1) training with HummingbirdBit hardware (Birdbrain Technologies, Pittsburgh, PA) (e.g. sensors, servo motors) and codingplatform, (2) preparing robotics lessons for fifth

Education. Teamwork is one of thecritical skills for success in undergraduate engineering education and beyond. Engineeringprojects require collaboration among individuals with different disciplines and expertise [1].Therefore, engineering students must learn how to contribute, communicate effectively, delegatetasks, and resolve conflicts among team members [1]. Team members bring unique perspectivesand ideas, promoting creativity and innovation [2]. Moreover, the ability to perform in teamsettings is highly valued by employers. It demonstrates adaptability, collaboration, andleadership [3]. Engineering students can enhance their ability to complete the project effectivelyand gain essential skills that would serve well in their future careers by
