Through expert lectures and arobust project, students were introduced to technology commercialization and the entrepreneurialmindset, skills that aid in the development of career-ready and innovative engineers. Studentsapplied these concepts through a laboratory-based design project by participating in a productpitch competition to justify the value of their design to a panel of experts in the field whoexemplified potential investors. To measure outcomes, we assessed students’ self-reportedexpertise in various components of these disciplines through surveys administered at multiplepoints throughout the modules and gathered anonymous feedback through end-of-semestercourse

dynamics in a team.The importance of teamwork in STEM education is underscored by Criteria 3 of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) [2]. This criterion mandates thatstudent learning outcomes must include “an ability to function effectively as a member of atechnical team.” This requirement is rooted in the understanding that the future workforce mustbe adept not only in technical knowledge but also in interpersonal and collaborative skills. Byincorporating teamwork into their curricula, educational institutions help bridge the gap betweenacademic learning and professional requirements.Prior research has shown that effective teamwork is an important soft skill for building a set ofskills that are essential in the modern

It's common for alumni tosay that they remain in touch with the friends they met during their undergraduate years incollege. Lastly, all accredited engineering programs must incorporate teamwork into theircurriculum since the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) mandatesunder Criterion 3 that student outcomes include "an ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives."

Junus, Purdue University Fadhla Junus, a third-year Ph.D. student at Purdue University’s School of Engineering Education, brings a unique blend of industry experience and academic expertise to her research on technology-enhanced learning, specifically in developing personalized learning environments for higher-education computer programming students. She is interested in investigating how students learn computer programming, how to make learning computer programs easier, what theories support designing
problems, manage a project, and create value for a customer, either external orinternal [16]. In the U.S., the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)General Criterion 5.d. requires a culminating major engineering design experience that 1)incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on theknowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work (ABET). Capstone courses and projects arewell-suited to providing such an experience. Consequently, capstones have become a de factorequirement in engineering education [16].In a series of national surveys and international counterparts, the longitudinal state ofengineering capstone design education over the past three decades has been assessed
