, some researchers haveargued for greater investigation of implementation issues, including assessment and methods tosupport faculty facilitation [24], [25]. These calls recognize that the shift to PBL experiences is achallenge for both faculty and students [12], [25]. This shift can be challenging for faculty becausemany engineering and STEM instructors have strong content knowledge but lack training onpedagogical practices rooted in active and cooperative learning [12], [13], [26]. This can lead toacute implementation challenges, like difficulty developing appropriate problems, supportingstudents’ metacognition, and facilitating students’ problem solving [27].There are two important aspects of implementation and facilitation that the research
