attains4knowledge (Wertsch, 1998). Heterogeneous groups and culturally heterogeneous ones, inparticular, can benefit from the sharing of different perspectives and different backgroundknowledge (Popov et al., 2014; Popov et al., 2013; Weinberger et al., 2007). From aneducational policy perspective, moreover, many schools and universities are usingcollaborative learning technologies to better prepare students for the world of work.Balakrishnan (2015) has found that the use of CSCL had positive impact on engineeringstudents’ learning in terms of their learning achievement and positive attitude towardsonline collaborations. These findings seem to be consistent with other research on the useof CSCL in engineering education (see for details Rubio et al., 2010
students’ engagement, learningexperiences, and skill development. Multiple studies have suggested that facultymembers using active and collaborative learning approaches, interacting with studentsfrequently, and creating a supportive teaching and learning environment in theclassroom had impact on higher levels of student engagement (Kuh, 2001; Pascarella,2001; Umbach, 2005). Other findings also suggested that the more students wereinvolved in the above-mentioned educational practices, the more would they developtheir learning skills and personal development (Kuh, 2003; Lee, 2010). Therefore,student engagement serves as an important indicator for assessing teaching andlearning.Context of the StudyUniversity H is a leading research-intensive
