Today PBL is considered one of thehigh impact practices of teaching and learning across all disciplines (Kuh, 2008). Manyundergraduate biological and agricultural engineering (BAE) programs feature service learningand project-based PBL opportunities, most frequently in first-year (cornerstone) and senior(capstone) design courses (Lima, 2013; Lima and Oakes, 2013). However, given the centrality ofdesign in engineering practice and the challenge students encounter in trying to master design, itis valuable to scaffold the learning of these skills by including
