This timing will provide students with an ability to compare differences in team structure and be able to better understand what constitutes a functioning first team. In addition, the students will be better able to apply this information to make their second team more effective. About two weeks after the second team is formed is an appropriate time to do the assessment to maximize both reflective and application processes. 3.

Building on our pilot work with students, our theory of action is that the experience ofcomparing example work 1) meaningfully supports students’ design thinking mindset (helpingstudents think like designers), 2) critical thinking and reasoning (helping students to make andexplain decisions), and 3) ultimately their design performance (as students apply their thinking).These three variables are critical

Many describe the practice of moving from desk todesk explaining what is right and wrong with student work as the “bread and butter” of designtraining (Goldschmidt, Casakin, Avidan & Ronen, 2014) and a central feature of preparingprofessionals as reflective practitioners (Schön, 1993).During design reviews, students receive feedback on their design decisions and guidance

teaching styles tend to rely on thedissemination of fundamental concepts in a lecture-style format with limited learner stimulation,active and experiential learning approaches prioritize both learner engagement and reflectionthroughout and often include lesson contextualization [9], [10].Although sometimes used synonymously, active learning and experiential learning are twoseparate pillars in modern education. The most widely accepted and cited definition of activelearning is provided by Bonwell and Eison in 1991 as: “Involving students in doing things andthinking about what they are doing [6].” Millis further elaborates on this definition and adds thatit often involves reflection and doing or taking action, and often uses cooperative

engineering itself. As such, K-12 engineering educationshould emphasize this interdisciplinary nature. Finally, engineering thinking involves critical andcreative problem solving and using informed judgment to make decisions. Moreover, learners inengineering education should be independent and reflective thinkers capable of seeking out newknowledge and learning from failure in problem-solving situations. These common pedagogical features present in both frameworks are sufficientlydocumented in the literature to improve student cognitive outcomes. For instance, English andcolleagues [21] and Li and colleagues [22] emphasize the benefits of integrative approaches toSTEM education, particularly when engineering content is present in the lesson
