Although some formal in-class activities are planned, many class sessions are flexible, allowing students to engage inindividualized learning approaches. The projects are loosely framed, enabling students todevelop key competencies while investigating topics of personal interest and controlling projectfocus and direction. In this paper, we discuss the processes and motivating factors that led to theinitial design and continued development of the Paul Revere: Tough as Nails course block.

A literature review of experientiallearning found that most experiential learning research centers on in-class programs and coursesand has assessed a range of skills including technical, professional, and personal outcomes(Jamison et al., 2022). However, curriculum change takes time. Engineering curricula are alreadyextensive and time-consuming, so adjusting or adding more courses is not always possible.Therefore, out-of-classroom experiences have emerged as another way to develop the skillsnecessary to create engineering professionals.Many out-of-class activities have been shown to give students the opportunity to learnprofessional skills including service-learning, internships, co-operative education, engineeringsocieties, and design

universities'engineering programs have different challenges. These include large class sizes, low studentattendance, and a higher education system structured to limit student-academic and peer-to-peerinteractions, limiting student engagement development [10]. Similarly, students are mainlycommuters living at home. Thus, attendance to class is conditioned by external variables such astransport, schedules, etc. Large class sizes present a barrier for students to develop relationshipswith their peers. In addition, in Australia, digital recording and streaming of lectures havebecome a standard component of the resources provided to students through learningmanagement sites [11], impacting the decrease in student attendance in class, and interactionwith their peers

Game mechanics are the means by which one converts specific inputs by the player into specificoutputs. These are the are the base components such as rules, basic actions, and rewards. Gamedynamics dictate how the players interact during the game, traditionally the means by which theplayers are involved in playing.
