resultshave direct implications for engineering curriculum design and teaching practices; in short, it iscritical that students are given reasonably difficult tasks that incorporate physical testing, aregiven time for multiple iteration cycles, and are supported as they design.IntroductionEngineering educators seek to engage learners in authentic engineering practices, includingtesting and iterating on designs (NAE and NRC, 2009). Failure is an integral part of the iterationcycle in the engineering design process; designs often fail, that is, do not meet all criteria andconstraints, and a central disciplinary practice in engineering is interpreting this failure asfeedback on those designs (Lottero-Perdue & Parry, 2014; Cunningham & Carlsen

among students toward the subject matter [9].Undergraduate education faces substantial challenges, notably observed in expansive universitylecture classes [10, 11]. These challenges stem from increasing class sizes that make itprogressively arduous for college instructors to motivate students for class preparation andparticipation in discussions. To address this issue, integrating student-led group lecture deliveriesinto the curriculum has been proposed as a potential solution in this study. The importance ofstudent engagement, especially within group interactions, is instrumental in cultivating essentialskills crucial for academic success and holistic development [10]. This emphasis on activestudent involvement spurred further investigation
