Consequently, there is a growing need for engineering colleges toimpart knowledge, instruction, and practical experiences in interpersonal and team skills. Thisgoes beyond the traditional capstone fourth-year design project, where instructors group studentsinto teams with the expectation of navigating complex team dynamics without rigorousknowledge or guidance [76].Access to design knowledge and practice within the undergraduate curriculum is often confinedto a segment of introductory courses and a fourth-year capstone project, occasionally

Yet, multiple challenges limitthe access to these learning experiences: scalability, space and resources, ‘white male privilege,’and the organization itself (for academic makerspaces this would be faculty and curriculum).Recommendations to cultivate these experiences included shared space, funding for projects, andfaculty participation [1].Gerber and colleagues, found that extracurricular design based learning (EDBL) support ABEToutcomes and can strengthen self-efficacy in innovation tasks.
