For example, where academic goalsemphasize student learning and development, industry goals are often driven by profitability,productivity, and benefits to the broader organization. Many students thus graduate withuncertainty about what working in an engineering organization is like [40]. Some mightextrapolate from real-world jobs, internships, or co-ops [41] [42], but not all students have accessto these opportunities, especially if they come from minoritized groups or have less social andcultural capital [43] [44]. Further, engineering education has been criticized for perpetuating a“culture of disengagement” [24] that privileges objectivity and, in the process

Collaborative problem solving alsopermits the opportunity for peer-coaching, which may synergistically lead to deeper, moreinnovative learning for both the tutor and the tutored than classroom instruction and individualproblem sets alone. Practicing engineering learning in this way prepares a student to integratewith real-world teams and work to solve complex, multi-faceted problems upon graduation. However, the incorporation of digital technology in the classroom is not enough to keepcollege education relevant in the long-term to digital natives and the increasingly-digital society.Nor is collaborative problem solving a triple win for the digital native student, the school

Despite the growingpopularity of the flipped classroom model in higher education, this model has received less attention inengineering [2]. The need for engineering graduates to be able to solve real-world problems and work in teamssuggests the merit in flipping engineering courses. However, currently limited research exists on the impact ofthe flipped classroom model in engineering education [3].Recognized advantages of a flipped classroom include positive gains in problem-solving skills, conceptualunderstanding, student retention, and student satisfaction [4

strategy for teaching engineering design bears many similarities to problem-basedlearning [1] which makes it attractive as a teaching framework for a design focused course. Asubset of problem-based learning, project-based learning uses a long-term, ill-defined, andcomplex project to mimic real world conditions when teaching design to students. Advantages ofproject-based learning include stronger student motivation, students gaining a better understandingof how to apply their knowledge in practice, and improved teamwork and communication skills[1].
