These benefits–including self-organization, iterative development, andflexibility–typically lead to more incremental and faster product delivery. In our study, Scrumprinciples were first introduced through lectures, contextualizing the principles for an academicsetting. This was followed by a laboratory project, where students focused on

as a transformative force in higher education, fundamentallychanging how students engage with knowledge. While often simply defined as "learning bydoing," experiential learning encompasses a rich variety of approaches including project-basedwork, community engagement, design challenges, laboratory investigations, and problem-basedlearning. What distinguishes these educational experiences is their open-ended, authenticnature—they provide structured scaffolding but lack predetermined solutions or pathways,mirroring the complexity students will encounter in professional practice.The impact of experiential learning in engineering education is particularly significant, as itbridges the persistent gap between theory and practice.

With the increase in the size andcomplexity in Autodesk® Civil 3D® Fundamentals software tutorial, course evaluations showeda decline in student self-efficacy. The 2024 tutorial is now just under 1000 pages, 18 chapters inlength. Students commented that the Civil 3D® tutorial was overwhelming due to the abundanceof tasks required for each chapter and that the tasks outlined in the tutorials were too advancedfor an entry level Civil 3D® user. In addition, students noted even when they completed thetutorial, they were not confident in their ability in using the program outside of the course.Students

?BackgroundProgram Context The broader project involved a partnership between a small Mid-Atlantic college and aNortheastern educational non-profit to design and execute an innovative, immersive engineeringeducation “study away” program. The focus on the pilot semester in Fall 2023 was to deliver aninnovative hands-on engineering curriculum and allow students to engage in career exploration.On the curriculum side, this was conducted through project-based learning and mastery-assessment. Students took five engineering courses during the semester including: CircuitsAnalysis, Circuits Analysis Laboratory, Statics, Calculus III, and Physics II. On the careerexploration side, the students engaged in site visits, called “career treks,” to local

Evaluations of exams, laboratory reports, or project deliverables that are designedto address specific SOs link directly to numerical evaluation of those SOs.Indirect assessments provide insights into perceptions of learning and program effectiveness,which may be particularly valuable if gathered from third parties, such as internship mentors.However, the sources of indirect assessments are not usually designed for SO assessment. Forthese resources to be effective assessment tools, their composition must be evaluated and, wherepossible, their content must be mapped to specific SOs.
