them develop stronger teams with more awarenessof the importance of professional skills for engineers. DBR is a method that was developed toaddress the limitations of laboratory experiments in the social and behavioral sciences. Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and

They collected students’ responses over two years as theassignments in the Lean Manufacturing class, asking how to apply lean principles to the highereducation settings. Key findings from their responses were that students defined an employer offuture graduates as a customer of the education process. All their recommendations were relatedto the improvement of

Coursea. Description of ImplementationCourse DescriptionStudy 2 took place in an early graduate/advanced undergraduate course in physics/materialsscience and engineering/computational science at different large research institution. This courseis primarily taken by senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students. The majority ofstudents are in physics or materials science and engineering, but some come from otherdepartments including bioengineering and computer science. Hence, students’ prior experiencewith materials science and crystal-structure analysis ranges from none to an advancedundergraduate-level of exposure.The course does not explicitly cover crystal structures. Topics covered in the course includeclassical techniques for
