Student participation almost doubled to a total of 16 undergraduate students and 3graduate students. While a design-build-fly activity was desired, it was determined to be toodifficult to achieve in this second project iteration. Instead, a design-build-test framework waschosen as an intermediate step on the way to a collaborative full design-build-fly activity.In order to avoid repeating the same student project every year, the project’s leadership teamsearched for a test activity template to best fit with the

These three core competencies are also engineeringeducational objectives as dictated by ABET criteria21. Increasing the design component in theundergraduate curriculum better prepares graduates for engineering practice, the end result being a well-rounded engineer. Traditional engineering courses provided graduates with little, if any, experience inengineering application.

Engineers todayreport that communication is critical to their success and spend a large percentage of timeinteracting with others1 and working on teams2. Despite the need for interaction in practice,industry reports indicate engineering graduates show skill deficiencies in communication andteamwork3.

We describe innovative design as the act of generating novelconcepts, processes, or designs. Innovative design is closely linked to creativity,6 using andimplementing creative ideas to develop something tangible, real, or meaningful in a societalcontext. This type of innovation may be described as incremental, leading to small changes, orradical, leading to a complete rethinking of existing practices and designs, or generating entirelynew concepts altogether.7Innovative design may be broken up into constituent components by identifying what skills ortraits are necessary for being innovative.
