Students in the course wrote an essay, as arequired assignment, in which they reflected on the links between their co-op work and thecourse, and were asked for permission to use those essays in the professor’s research on thistopic. Analysis of the essays shows that students typically did see connections; in many cases,these were connected to the course content. However, in other cases, students noted that they hadlearned problem-solving skills, time management, or other skills that were not directly connectedto the class content, which were also useful in their co-op assignments and future careers. Theresults of this work can be used to motivate students

Experiential learning allows students to apply specific conceptslearned in the formal environment to the informal environment through opportunities such asinternships, apprenticeships, competitions, clubs, practica, and cooperative education [9].According to Kolb and Fry [10], experiential learning theory is a four-part cycle. 1. The learner has concrete experience with the content being taught. 2. The learner reflects on the experience by comparing it to prior experiences. 3. Based on experience and reflection, the learner develops new ideas about the content being taught. 4. The learner acts on the new ideas by experimenting in an

Additionally, theexperiential learning focus in the course engaged students in deeper reflective practices in bothwriting and engineering.We conclude with recommendations for others redesigning courses and curricula for 21st centuryliteracies and global entrepreneurship.

Students who were working asintegral part of a team ranked statements related to teamwork higher than those who wereoperating more independently. The influence of role on learning is to be expected as learning isoften context specific.Additionally, many of the participants disagreed with statements that included the phrase “whenI reflected and thought

Similar to other schools, there is a fee associated with both of thesecourses for access to the portal, much like other co-op programs. Students also choose to do internships outside of the co-op program.

According to Healey andJenkins [24], learning styles reflect a diversity of environmental considerations including thoseattributable to gender and cultural differences. Willingham, et al. [25] and others [26]–[28],however, contend that there are inherent problems with the learning styles theories and that theylack scientific rigor.Kolb’s model suggests that experiential learning can be characterized as a four-phase cyclicmodel.

Other research found,without proper scaffolding, consistent feedback, or context, students in PBL classrooms have shown lessprogress than students in traditional classrooms ( Savery, 2006,Norman & Schmidt, 1992;).
