The inquiry-based approach has been in thefield for several decades but, only recently, it received recognition when the principles of cognitivepresence have been implemented into the design of collaborative learning. Studies have examinedthe importance of cognitive presence to generate students’ higher-level learning throughcollaborative teamwork when students work together to solve real-world problems3,44.Cognitive presence offers ways to examine

The engineering education curriculum10 implemented in universities has mirrored this trend by introducing students to group-based work11 to cultivate group centric skills necessary for post-graduate work. A study was conducted within12 Mississippi State University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) with a goal of better13 understanding the group work experience for ME undergraduate students. A general survey was14 distributed throughout the ME curriculum (n = 215, freshman through senior participants) to15 comprehensively inquire of students. The survey consisted of 30 questions, asking
