Educational environments thatincorporate all four parts or categories of the cycle have been shown to span the spectrum ofstudent learning styles more fully, and in general to enhance the overall learning experience [4-7].

However, they can be classified into one of these three types which are teacher-centered,learner-centered, and learning-centered [17]. Researchers often conduct experiments onexperiential learning which is learning by doing, and this reflects in pedagogical

In this course, first-year engineering students wererequired to complete various hands-on lab activities, and a final project as a group. Oncesubmitting their initial work on the platform, they were then required to individually assess theirpeers’ work, and then individually reflect on the grades that they received. The grade theyreceived for their group work, the quality of their peer evaluations, and the feedback theyprovided on the grades they received from their peers were all factors of their final individualgrade for each assessment.

Several studentsexpressed a fresh awareness of the curriculum design and an appreciation of the attention of thefaculty to their education. This exercise was especially beneficial to students within one or twosemesters of graduation.

For the 2019-2020academic year, all the actualization of the projects happened simultaneously with the global shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Seven months of design work suddenly had to pivot intoprojects and deliverables that could be completed remotely without access to much of the tools,equipment, and resources typically used by teams. This transition was much easier for someprojects than others.Upon completion of the Spring 2020 semester, the instructors reflected upon the outcome of thecourse and acknowledged several positive and negative aspects and used those to guide changesimplemented on the next iteration of the capstone course.

There are several limitations to the current student group work and collaborationliterature. Most notably, current studies limit data collection to single semesters and/or to singlecourses, and therefore do not capture the longitudinal effects of collaboration. We identified onlyone study [6] that extended data collection beyond a single semester. This study reported thatstudent network connectedness continued to develop throughout students’ freshmen, sophomore,and junior years; network connectedness later dropped during the students’ senior year.
