Surveying Design Skill Development in Work-Integrated Learning Experiences: A Review of the Literature

Abstract: Work-integrated learning (WIL) is an educational approach that intentionally scaffolds work experiences throughout undergraduate education. This approach has been proven to provide many benefits to students, including increased grade point averages, better job prospects after graduation and skill development. As such, we expect WIL experiences to contribute to engineering student's ability to design, a central aspect of both engineering education and practice. We found little evidence of research related to WI… Show more

“…While the review by Litster et al (2021) provides some good high-level evidence that WIL experiences provide a rich context for engineering design learning, their findings are based on a secondary-data analysis of articles that had a different intended purpose. Further, much of the evidence is based on students' perceptions of their self-efficacy, typically collected through surveys, sometimes months after the WIL experience had concluded.…”

“…Further, much of the evidence is based on students' perceptions of their self-efficacy, typically collected through surveys, sometimes months after the WIL experience had concluded. Acknowledging these limitations, at the conclusion of their review, Litster et al (2021) call for more in-depth explorations of student design learning during WIL experiences. Motivated by this research gap, the exploratory study described in this paper aims to gain a clearer picture of student experiences of design/designing in real world contexts and how the environmental factors therein affect their designing.…”
