Recognizing theneed to balance technical engineering expertise with “soft skills” associated with teamwork andengineer-client relationships, engineering undergraduate curriculum benefits from theexperiential learning process; yet very few programs promote extensive experiential learningopportunities integrated directly into the engineering curriculum. While indirectly referenced viastudent outcome criteria, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.

Students often develop the ability to plug numbers into equations and get ananswer without understanding what the answer means, and they are not able to apply equationsto new or different scenarios2,3. Practicing engineers must be able to apply multiple fundamentalconcepts to various design problems, and conceptual understanding is the first step in developingthis ability2,4,5.
