There were three 2-hour tests (spaced approximately a monthapart), and a 3-hr final exam that altogether accounted for the remaining 85% of the coursegrade.

According to Byers, “…beyond technical expertise, today’sengineers must possess an entrepreneurial mindset in order to be the innovators of tomorrow.” [3]Engineers need to solve challenging, complex real-world problems. In the article “Engineeringthe Future”, the authors stated that training engineers to take on the challenges of the future andsolve complex real problems are the most important contributions that colleges and universitiesmake to advance the human condition [4].

Skill Half LifeOne of the largest complaints that rapid-fire programming environments is the “short half-life”of the acquired skills [8]. Dr. Gary, a Project-Based Learning associate professor for SoftwareEngineering at Arizona State University, criticizes “short-term, skills-focused learning activities”as they “do an inadequate job of placing those skills in context: a student might master skill Xbut is unable to assess tools and techniques that address the same problem space differently,” [8].However, Dr. Gary is primarily criticizing weekend programming courses, claiming that“Hackathons and Maker Faires are

‘Formulating the NEET Approach’. This included stakeholderanalysis, extensive discussions in the weekly core NEET faculty committee meetings,consultation with individual members of the extended NEET faculty committee, and deliberationabout high-level goals and master architectures in a workshop with students, industry, alumniand faculty that was held in September 2016. The concept of ‘New Machines and Systems’emerged during this stage. This led to in-depth conversations in October 2016 with the extendedNEET faculty committee at a workshop titled ‘Gathering the Evidence’ as to what kind ofevidence needed to be gathered, from whom, and what the modalities could be. The two artifactsthat emerged from this stage were a synopsis of the NEET initiative, and
