hasbegun promoting a strong culture of Active Cooperative Learning (ACL). ABET, theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, has recommended this pedagogicalapproach as a method because focusing students on real-world problems can increase theirmotivation. 4 By using the live case study approach in this class, the traditional student group,expanded to include the mentor, can work together to synthesize their understanding of theapplication, through the question and answer process. The students can reinforce the conceptswith each other through the process of writing reflective papers on how their mentor companyapplies the techniques. Finally, the objective of this method is pulled together by the NationalAcademy of Engineering report

of their produced designs areusually evaluated to access the level of students’ attainment of the program educationaloutcomes. However, in technology-sensitive areas such as digital design, embedded processingand system-level engineering, software design packages are continually updated or replaced bymore powerful, more efficient, and more complex design packages. Similarly, hardwareplatforms such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are continually improving in terms oftheir functionalities, and capabilities. Therefore, in our view, capstone design projects should notonly be open-ended and realistic, but should also prepare student to work in rapidly-changingprofessional environment.The ever-increasing complexity of digital systems

The course is required of all undergraduate students in MechanicalEngineering, Electrical Engineering and Robotics/Mechatronic Systems Engineering. Thecourse is centered on a recently developed commercial technology where the students are taskedwith analyzing that technology and associated intellectual property. They are then tasked withproposing ventures in other markets using that technology and to do so in business terms.Assessment results indicate an increased level of self-confidence and self-efficacy in relation todeveloping and presenting product ideas.

business environment whereconsumers have changing needs, engineers need to be able to think creatively to meet thoseneeds. Thus, it is both the goal and the challenge for engineering students and educators alike tobuild creativity into the front end of teaching endeavors, research endeavors, and professionalendeavors. Few engineering endeavors are done without the idea of a cost-benefit analysis, whichbusinesses utilize to determine if they will make profits enough to start, innovate, and sustainproduction. Engineers of the 21st century thus need to realize that they need to think beyond justthe technology involved in a product or service. They need to be able to provide this product orservice at a price/value that would be acceptable to a

project to conform to educational best practices the focused learningobjective is on “design thinking,” which relates to: handling uncertainty, making decisions aspart of a team, technical communication, and viewing design as an iterative process [7].Offering engineering students access to rapid prototyping is a novel approach to understandingthe iterative nature of the design process [17]. Design experiences can be facilitated by the useof 3D printing technologies [17-19], in fact the use of 3D printers within the educational settinghas increased significantly over the past several years. With Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)printers becoming more affordable [19-20], the expansive growth and accessibility of such 3Dprinters is an opportunity to
