The Energy Relayallowed some students to avoid integrating knowledge from various fields of engineering in theirdesigns. As this was an objective of the course, this was an unforeseen consequence of choosingthe design competition as a basis for the culminating design experience in the course.All of the six stated goals for the project could have been met using any project

Project-based learning (noted as PBL*) team opportunities arequalitatively different than traditional PBL efforts in one demonstrable way.
