The con for this method is not knowing how much to do to receive a higher grade.” “The lack of detailed instructions made me the most nervous at the beginning of the project, but as our group progressed, it turned out this was a non-issue and instead gave us more creative freedom to really let us make our project what we wanted it to be.”Discussion and Future WorkThe Engineering Museum Exhibit (EME) was overall a success. Students were encouraged to getcreative, and the resulting displays at the live showcase embodied the KEEN 3Cs. Using Guay etal.’s [24] pre-validated questionnaire

objectives for the course included an ability for each student to a) apply academicknowledge and engineering skills to a real-world problem, b) develop a project scope, majorproject deliverables, and a project schedule, c) practice the fundamentals of the engineering designprocess to develop a solution(s) to an industry-defined project challenge, d) create a solution whichmeets design requirements and standards set by the industry client, e) develop skills for effectiveteam collaboration, f) develop skills for effective communication, both written and verbal, tocomplete technical and work-related projects, f) develop professional skills by interactingfrequently with peers and engineers from industry.Though the course provided many essential academic

Concerning findings, thismay be influenced by the fact that both engineering and bachelor students have courses onmath and basic science, in conjunction with this course, so there may be hidden effectsrelated to other curricular and extracurricular activities experienced by students.References[1] T.

Further,industry organizations regularly seek well-rounded employees of which certifications are simplyone part of the whole. For example, Tran et al.

Typical latent construct instruments askmany items about a singular (or no clear) context to achieve construct coverage. In contrast, factorial surveysask the same question(s) multiple times while presenting the question in different scenarios varied ondimensions

However, the survey wasadministered by a third-party faculty member (not the instructor-of-record and never participatedin class activities) so that students’ remarks could be decoupled from their names when sharedwith the course instructor.
