One partner commented that theydidn’t think the students’ designs “reflect[ed] all the effort they seemed to put into it! If I'd seenthe drawing earlier on, I think I could have helped them push their ideas a little further.”In addition to surveying the partners to see if they would be willing to participate in the projectagain, they were asked if they would recommend partnering with this course’s project to othergroups or organizations similar to theirs.

This is particularly relevant in the spirit of educational inclusion. Indeed,not all students may start a new business, but we assert that all students ought to have theopportunity to explore the significance of developing an entrepreneurial mindset.Simultaneously, engineering faculty will potentially benefit from being able to integratecomponents of the entrepreneurial mindset in their courses.To tackle our research questions, we implemented a qualitative research design in order toidentify constructs and items. First, we started by conducting a critical review of the

Tests have been developed to ascertain spatialreasoning skills. Lohman [12] said that the tests that define spatial visualization are complex.Some require rotation, reflection, or folding of complex figures, while others require combiningdifferent figures or multiple transformations. Yilmaz, who conducted a literature review ofspatial reasoning issues, summarized different ways of measuring spatial ability and said thatsome spatial visualization tests have been shown to be more advantageous

Professional preparation in engineering has been moving to acollaborative model with multiple socio-technological dimensions, as part of learning to solveengineering problems cooperatively (Dym, Wesner, and Winner 2003). One way to increase thestudents’ content knowledge and to prepare them for the workforce is blending students’information literacy with project-based learning (PBL) using real world examples.Information LiteracyThe American Library Association (2015) defines information literacy as a set of integratedabilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the

Two years later, the project went through another major revision, again in the interest ofreflecting common practices in industry.We learned a lot from doing two major project rewrites in less than three years, but perhaps themost important “lesson” is that these revisions will continue. And if we want to keep up with thechanging software landscape in industry – especially in the fast-moving world of web-development – the project must continually evolve to reflect those changes.

Next, simple steps or rules to solve each smallerproblem can be designed (algorithms).
