In both instances, students gained field-specific technical knowledge, as well asexposure to larger, more open-ended problems in the environmental engineering field whichprovided creative and sustainable-thinking opportunities for all students, research experiences forsome students, and career shifts for a couple of students.In terms of research students, it seems clear that the research opportunities had a large impact onstudents personally and professionally. To improve their experiences, I would like to try to ensurethat all students get to work with a partner. To grow as a mentor, I plan to create an “expectations”memorandum of understanding to help students know

Observation of a need or difficulty. 2. Analysis of the need. 3. A survey of all available information. 4. A formulation of all objective solutions. 5. A critical analysis of these solutions. 6. The birth of a new idea. 7. Experimentation to test and refine the most promising solution.As previously mentioned, the first step in the inventive process is ‘observation of a need ordifficulty’ followed by ‘analysis of the need’. These steps could also be referred to as ‘marketneeds assessment’ or ‘opportunity focuses’ in standard business plan terms. 12

This ties in with their view on theimportance for constant improvement and continually working to provide better resources forstudent learning. This emphasizes the importance of recognizing that the process of creatingvideos does not end once they are made available for use, but continues into the vital stage ofreceiving feedback and measuring their success by different metrics.

Therefore, by doing just one ‘major project’ work, the students do not get enough experience in the institute to handle the real projects when they reach the industry. b) In such a scenario, often the main objectives of the project work of developing skills such as, planning, leading teams, communication, working in teams, decision making, and such others do not get developed by just one ‘major project’ offering in the last program. This is much to the disadvantage of the student, as most of the times the ‘major project’ is a group activity.
