Both because of more available and accessibledigital fabrication tools and a rise on maker-based pedagogy, such educational approaches areprogressing past just learning experiences that are project-based but more and more one canrealize a functional and desirable product (in addition to the underlying technology). This greateravailability of rapid prototyping and maker spaces can support these types of learningexperiences, allowing student teams more access to holistically imagine, design, and morereadily build their solutions. The more authentically these learning experiences can be curatedand staged by instructors, the more meaningful and useful such courses can

These key elements of instructional design will bediscussed in detail in the subsequent sections.Design and Learning ObjectivesResearch suggests that it is critical to carefully consider the specific objectives and type ofproblem that best fit each topic when using PBL to execute an engineering curriculum. De Graaf& Kolmos [1] suggest considering a series of questions when determining the objectives forwork in PBL, including (but not limited to): where will the problem lead, what goals does itfulfill, and what should students learn? These questions should help the PBL designer identifykey student learning outcomes that should be highlighted in both the implementation andassessment of the project. Once

]. Project-based learning is one of the teachingmethodologies used in engineering education to promote teamwork [2; 3]. Cornerstone coursesare first-year engineering design courses mostly using project-based learning methodologies [4],where students work in teams to solve real-world problems [5]. During COVID-19, students hadto work remotely in teams using different platforms, such as Teams, ZOOM, and Google Drive.Today, most universities have returned to face-to-face classes. After meeting with students todiscuss their projects, the faculty team realized that despite the face-to-face classes, some teamsstill use different technologies to do their teamwork and have never met in person outside lecturetime.

While HyFlex is not new, it has become more feasible since COVID, as technologies haveimproved and cultural acceptance of remote work has evolved. Our two funded projects have resulted in avariety of specific research studies that are published in papers.

These experiencescan take many forms including collaborative research projects, apprenticeships, co-operativeeducation, entrepreneurship, field placements, internships, professional placements, servicelearning, or work experiences.
