As one manager stated after the final briefing, “Why wouldn’t we hire this person? They’ve been with us for two years, they at least know where the water fountain and toilets are, and they are already better with new technology than some of our engineers!” Cons: 1. Classroom and other presentations in a school setting can be severely restricted. Project advisors must guard against inadvertent disclosure during discussions and briefings, and access to senior design reports (which ABET teams may want to inspect) must be controlled. 2. The

-apprenticeship. Both categories usedthe prevailing knowledge and technology at that time to build better technologies. Forexample James Nasmyth’s [1] definition of engineering as “common senseapplication of materials” reflects the knowledge and technology, exclusive tomechanical elements, prevailed at that time. Makers are individuals who design andbuild new devices and share their experiences with others. Universities provideopportunities to wake up the dormant geniuses of such individuals among studentswho sometimes may not be turned-on by the traditional classroom teaching. But tomake full exploitation of their geniuses they have to have a comprehensiveknowledge of the prevailing technologies. This paper describes the method by whichknowledge of
