The art instructor engaged undergraduatestudents from an origami class to provide an opportunity for collaborative learning experiencesbetween the engineering and art students. This art course involved a capstone project ofinstalling an origami-inspired structure on the premises of a church. Based on initial designpresentations by the art students to their engineering counterparts, six out of 24 engineeringstudents were chosen to collaborate with the art students in the final design and physicalinstallation of the origami-based structure. All other engineering students were required

I was able to get the project problem boiled down with my work in here, but I was able to finally get a project that I could reasonably to do in the amount of time we have from just talking with my mentor.

The study ofRodríguez [28], composed by a self-narrative study and the analysis of fifth-grade students inhis math class, described the change of his students' mindsets around racial discriminationawareness and the kind of curricular strategies he had to create to address this topic.

This motivation focused more on identifying aproblem that would be appropriate to a course project at an early stage, while the motivationrelated to feasibility is more about generating a design concept that might be realized in acapstone design project. In this junior design course, they usually had started a specific scopeand felt the need for narrowing or broadening the scope and specify their direction at some point. “We originally were looking at the entire hip replacement but decided that was beyond the scope of this class.” “He said our current diagnosing capabilities are too narrow, and we had to broaden our diagnosing capabilities.”Furthermore, 5% of the students
