Unlikesome engineering design projects, Nephrotex has students balancing the input of internalstakeholders who all have different priorities and requirements of the final design.

The focus of the night is to introduce prospective students and their parents to conceptsrelating to bringing ideas to reality through engineering design and invention. The night beginswith a guest lecturer who presents information on their research and development and strives toinspire students to think outside of the box. The speaker is followed by breakout sessions thatinclude hands-on activities where students work on a small-scale design project, test their design,and make modifications as needed. This gives students exposure to prototyping. Anotherbreakout session option is to attend a panel discussion that

The majority of these students‟ performance on the two tests and three to five number of quizzes has improved slightly, but not significantly. However, their performance on the final project was significantly higher due to the fact that the instructor gave them time to correct the mistakes (to redo wrong work), and also due to the group effort
