Engineering Students: Determining Educational ImpactIntroductionEvery day the worlds of business and engineering become more interconnected and interdependentdue to advancements in technology regarding communication and transportation. This hasproposed a need for engineering graduates to achieve a reasonably high level of “globalpreparedness,” which has been recognized and promoted by both the professional and educationalengineering communities in conferences, national reports and publications.1 The NationalAcademy of Engineering (NAE), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the NationalResearch Council (NRC) have each challenged universities to graduate students who are globallyprepared or have a global perspective.2-4 Engineering educators and

The details of this program are covered in another publication [4].This collaboration functions across the entirety of North Dakota, which means distancebetween collaborators can be in excess of 300 miles. And for nearly half of theacademic year this distance is made more tortuous by some of the most challengingweather in the lower 48 states.

A common desireof undergraduates in EE (and we suspect across engineering in general) is for more “hands-on”experiences. What little they get tends to be later in their college career; however, as the Do-It-Yourself (DIY)/Make culture continues to grow, more of our students are walking in the doorready and willing to “get their hands dirty” on

This project wasintroduced in a course that previously lacked authentic physical design due to the limited accessto prototyping equipment. Prior student projects were confined to design and computer modelingand simulation elements only, with hands-on activities restricted to measurement-based labs. Thenew project incorporated concept development by the students along with physical prototyping oftheir design using and a combination of reusable components and disposable inexpensive supplies.The
