Each IMMERSE student gives a technical presentation during the summer group meeting (see Figure 15), which provides a supportive atmosphere consisting mostly of their peers. These presentations help students improve communications skills and put their specific research into a “big picture” context. After the presentation, audience members give suggestions on what they liked about the presentation and what could be improved. Figure 15. Student presentation during an IMMERSE group meeting.2.

Because thesurvey was anonymous it is not possible to directly attribute quotes to individual students;however, a sample of quotes is as follows:"My time as an intern provided me with amazing work experience in the field of aerospaceengineering.""Maryland Space Grant Consortium definitely has affected my career path tremendously. Beinghere has helped me understand my likes and dislikes and also what I would want to do for futurestudies. It has also exposed me to the different aspects of engineering and connected me withother engineers as well.""It broadened my horizons by placing me

The course also emphasized critical thinking,multidisciplinary perspectives, leadership and team-based problem solving. To achieve thecourse learning objectives, the course focused on problems associated with an aging sewersystem, generally, and the lack of local sewer infrastructure data, specifically. This course wasexperimental in that it introduced design thinking through an experiential learning project earlyin engineering students’ academic careers. Traditionally, design capstone courses are offeredtoward the end of students’ course of study after core courses and textbook
