]. Traditional classroom teaching is often based on lecturing and examinations; therefore, theymight lack going beyond teaching students technical and discipline-specific skills.On the other hand, student competitions go beyond and offer students soft skills, which are thekey to successful experiential learning [6]. In engineering education, senior capstone projectshave become typical venues for teaching soft skills as well; however, these are often still limitedwith class-time and curriculum expectations [7]. Capstone projects, by nature, are towards theend of students’ educational careers, and therefore, students may not have time to practice thesoft skills they just have exposure. Earlier research shows that students’ ability to understandethical

learningexperiences make for a highly preferred and desired job candidate.In this paper, we present a mixed-method, undergraduate research case study for an authentic-industry,product development experience with two main objectives: To determine the viability of using additivemanufacturing (AM) to produce a 32-channel parallel microfluidic dispenser--a critical component inDNA sample preparation, and to develop student professional and business soft skills leveraging ourworking platform with our industry partners. A third objective was to create an outreach effort to raiseawareness of the bio-technology sector as a viable employment sector for traditional engineering majors(i.e., electrical , mechanical , computer science)---a sector often overlooked by
