As mentioned previously, the CBA quizzes had tobe taken on either of two consecutive days at the beginning of the week followed by a remedialquiz given on Fridays of the same week wherein students were given extra credit for the correctanswers on the remediation activity. Several concerns about this format arose. One was: To whatbenefit was it to a student who personally mastered the quiz when he/she was paired with astudent who did not master the quiz? Although there was no formal study of this issue, weobserved that many students who performed well were eager to teach their mastery to those whodid not. The fact that the remediation was extra

peerreview has been suggested as an activity that aids transfer of knowledge to new situations, whichhas been identified as a critical issue in engineering education.19 Beyond peer review’s intrinsicpedagogical value, it is seen as highly compatible with the kinds of peer review situations thatprofessional scientists and engineers encounter in the workplace and in academic publishing.20,21Thus, peer review provides both a means to foster long-term improvement in our disciplinarycommunity’s scientific publications,22 as well as a means to add authenticity to writingassignments in order to increase student buy-in and motivation.23Our present work provides a history and case study of an experimental peer review design in aBioengineering capstone course

This paper describes theinnovative use of a motion simulation-based framework to provide active student participation inauthentic engineering experiences for learning about dynamic systems. The project’s theoreticalunderpinnings are based on situated learning where new educational material is presented in anauthentic context, and social interaction and collaboration are required for learning to occur.Through a learner-centered approach, students use physical simulation and large-scalevisualization to discover the impact that design decisions have on a dynamic system, whilegaining hands-on experience in configuring and operating

astakeholder who could provide needed information within course time constraints [10], [27].When meeting with stakeholders, students may also struggle to solicit information effectively,for instance because they ask closed-ended questions or use overly technical language [10], [13].At the end of information synthesis, students may struggle to apply stakeholder and contextualinformation to inform their design decisions. At a basic level, Wertz et al. [12] and Loweth et al.[3] have described issues where first year and capstone engineering students, respectively, mayfail to properly document their sources in their design deliverables. In such cases, students’ useof stakeholder and contextual information can be hard to evaluate properly. In terms

Reacting tothis emergency, within three weeks, the President of SEC and Professors of the Practice from theengineering entrepreneurship program developed a summer instruction program which focusedon professional skill development through a virtual implementation. All faculty involved hadimplemented internship programs in their companies and were convinced that a program couldbe offered, not to completely replace an internship at a company, but to build the professionalskills students would need in their jobs. Ultimately, the virtual internship program involved over350 students, almost 60 mentors, and seven faculty. It was divided into two 6-week phases – 1)professional skill training and 2) teamwork project
