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).

. Can authoring an open source, case-based assignment (instead of a traditional term paper) capture self identity and lived experiences, create a stronger sense of agency in learners, and increase “stickiness” of the knowledge? 2. Can working collaboratively with other learners personalize the knowledge absorption process and build team based skills? 3. Does access to open educational resources facilitate integration of sustainability or social justice concepts into the engineering curriculum?This research discovered that student motivation is significantly improved through projects that extendbeyond the academic environment, particularly those that align with their interests in sustainability goals.Moreover

Interviews were conducted in person or over video calls depending on theparticipant's availability and preferences. Many of the main questions that were asked during theinterviews included the following:  What kind of troubleshooting issues does your team come across?  What role does collaborative problem-solving and interdisciplinary teamwork play in approaching troubleshooting?  What do you think is “missing” in engineering education related to troubleshooting? Do you see a lack of any specific skills in newer hires?  What resources do you use in approaching a troubleshooting
