Out of these, 65 articles were selected for furtherconsideration. Articles not meeting the relevance and applicability criteria were excluded fromthe study. In the third step, the remaining 48 articles were screened based on their full text toensure they met the exclusion criteria. In the fourth step, the 21 articles that remained werecritically reviewed to extract the relevant information necessary for the analysis.

While capstoneexperiences could not fully prepare individuals for these challenges, their tendency to replicatemany aspects of the workplace provided moderate preparationLooking to the Canadian context where lifelong learning is still recognized as a graduateattribute for accreditation, there has been some engineering education research into teaching,learning, and assessing lifelong learning within undergraduate programs. We reviewed graduateattribute definitions from 16 Canadian universities and found that lifelong learning was mostoften conceptualized in terms of self-directed learning skills with few institutions consideringstudents’ developing dispositions, orientations

Rather than “socialloafing” which has negative connotations, we propose the use of the term “engagement-relatedconflict” when describing these instances where students are evaluated by their peers as notcontributing to their team as expected.Routine use of validated peer evaluation tools, such as Comprehensive Assessment of TeamMember Effectiveness (CATME), can alert an instructor or TA to a team conflict; they can thendiscern the true cause of this conflict to remedy the situation [15], [16]. However, there is littleguidance for instructors or TAs on how to coach

Further results will be assessed via focusgroups and anonymous surveys.DiscussionStudent feedback about both courses and their hands-on experimental nature has beenoverwhelmingly positive. Given the positive feedback, more courses across educational levelswill be developed using this model. The takeaway being that hands on experimentation is acompelling way to teach optics fundamentals. In the future, courses like this will be part of anoptical engineering certificate program in development within the electrical engineeringcurriculum. The program in development offers an opportunity to build many courses utilizingthe paradigms used in both the first year seminar and senior level course. Going forward

Discussion and ImplicationsPrior studies show different approaches to implementing and assessing the impact of PBLmechatronics education [35–38]. However, they mainly focus on the teaching approach itself orevaluate the short-term effects on students.Based on our analyses, integrating the PBL approach in this mechatronics course sequence hascreated a technically intense learning experience valuable to future entrepreneurs. Students learnabout the theory, apply it to an open problem, and master the mechatronics skill set. Students andteams support each other, and the teaching team encourages a collaborative environment

Hoffman [8]called this back-and-forth dialogue pluralism.In addition to what empathy is, others have considered what empathy does. Batson [5], forexample, describes empathy as answering two important questions about our interactions withothers: (1) how we know what others think and/or feel and (2) why we respond to others’ suffering.Echoing these questions, Finn [9] identified three distinct “faces” of empathy, albeit within thecontext of therapeutic assessment. The first face of empathy, aligned with Batson’s first question,was a means of gathering information about others. The second face of empathy presented
