first, second, third, or fourth quartiles wereassigned final designations of Very Important, Important, Slightly Important, or Not Important,respectively. For a final designation of Very Important, the criterion was either categorized asVery Important in both the text mapping and survey studies or Very Important in one andImportant in the other. For a final designation of Not Important, the criterion was eithercategorized as Not Important in both the text mapping and survey studies or Not Important inone and Slightly Important in the other (Table 3). Please note that the total sum () value isrelative to only that particular framework, while quartile (Q) is comparable between frameworks.Table 3: Interpretation of final criteria designations

interesting ideas andhave conducted Q&A sessions for the first years. • What they like: They like being part a cross-departmental academic community, getting greater exposure to project classes, getting access to highly sought-after project classes, mentoring by NEET faculty (which is helping them to shape their paths), and that the threads are in areas that are likely to be in demand when they graduate. It is important to them that the duration of their degree will remain the same as what it would have been if they had not been in NEET. • What could be improved: They feel that: the project experience should start in sophomore fall itself (rather than waiting till sophomore spring) and these could be

; though teams were able to follow up with a Q&Asession with the stakeholder via Skype, they still felt unprepared without further communicationwith the actual customer. An obvious constraint was economic in nature, but the focus oncommunity forced teams out of their comfort zone to take a human-centered societal approach totheir design – why did the previous implementations fail? How would you ensure that thesemistakes were not repeated? How would you teach system maintenance to a community thatdoes not have electricity? This project is an ideal example of a mock project, as success is notdefined solely by educated attention to technical solutions but by its value and utility to thecustomer; indeed, this technology exists and is readily
