As one manager stated after the final briefing, “Why wouldn’t we hire this person? They’ve been with us for two years, they at least know where the water fountain and toilets are, and they are already better with new technology than some of our engineers!” Cons: 1. Classroom and other presentations in a school setting can be severely restricted. Project advisors must guard against inadvertent disclosure during discussions and briefings, and access to senior design reports (which ABET teams may want to inspect) must be controlled. 2. The
