Abstract : This article aims to explore the impact of experiential learning on learning outcomes and clarify how and what makes experiential learning more impactful, keeping Kolb's learning model at the center. This study was conducted for engineering students through netnography methodology. By analyzing comments, we have gathered insights about the learning outcomes and type of experiential learning from engineering students through online forums and community pages. The study has a netnography tool, a most advanced and extended version of ethnography. For this study, we have referred to Kolb's experiential learning model to interpret the results gathered through netnography. The authors developed five dominating themes based on comments received and analyzed. The findings are five significant themes 1, Cooperative learning, 2. Consistency, 3. Relevance, 4. Simulation and 5 Transparency. Our study has important practical and theoretical implications considering how Engineering students' EL tasks should be framed, keeping Kolb's learning model in the center.
