evident that these skill sets, in particular entrepreneurially-minded education, arevaluable in preparing undergraduate engineering students to join the complex, technology-enabled, global 21st-century workforce [10]. In addition to integration into classrooms byindividual faculty members, programs like the NSF-funded I-Corps™ for Learning program (I-Corps™ L) have supported this shift in curriculum and aim to improve the scalability ofeducational innovations by leveraging the entrepreneurial mindset [10].The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) values EM for its potential to graduateengineering students who go on to “create personal, economic, and societal value through alifetime of meaningful work” [10].

, Introductionto Project Development, with two additional goals in mind: 1. Teach students design and project development well before they encounter them in their Capstone projects. 2. Provide an environment for experiential learning where integration of various strands of electrical and computer engineering disciplines can happen.Similarly to the first goal, some programs offer so-called “cornerstone” courses [3], but themajority of these seem to be freshman courses aiming to provide motivation for potentialengineering students while providing somewhat authentic experiences. These freshman students,however, will typically not have enough technical background to accomplish the second goal. Inour curriculum, students enrolled in ECE 211/212

conceptual understanding through those means alone may be limited. For example, evenwhen students complete pre-laboratory assignments to prepare for cookbook lab sessions, theselab exercises do not necessarily improve student learning in corresponding lecture-based courses[6], [7].Numerous authors discuss the potential merits of inquiry-based learning (hereafter IBL) as analternative to cookbook approaches to instructional laboratories, e.g. [2], [3], [8]. In a recentliterature review, Pedaste and colleagues [8] identified and summarized the core features of IBL.In general, student experiences mirror one or more steps of the scientific method and/ordisciplinary habits of mind of scientists or engineers: (1) articulating testable questions
