guidance for understanding and improving the design ofmakerspaces and similar learning environments.1. INTRODUCTIONEach year students arrive at the steps of engineering colleges eager to become engineers.University makerspaces have emerged as a space where engineering students appear increasinglydrawn. An academic makerspace is part workshop, part classroom, and part community ofpractice. It is a place where real-world challenges are married with hands-on approaches; wherestudents are encouraged to prototype and realize ideas; where design meets manufacturing; andwhere a student’s mind, hands, and heart can be integrally intertwined. Learning in makerspacesis different than learning in typical engineering labs or classrooms not merely because of
California, Berkeley, and at the University of Minnesota. He currently is the Administrative Director for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where he has taken a keen interest in the role of student groups in engineering education and implemented and manages the Exceed Lab, an interdisciplinary makerspace for students to design and build engineering projects. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Creating Meaningful Experiences Through Extracurricular Project-Based Experiential LearningAbstractEducators, employers, and students all understand the value of both taking part in extracurricularactivities and the
leave projects overdue, over budget, and even ultimately fail to produce a successfulproduct. However, we believe that there are overarching factors in prototyping that can be Page 25.1091.3applied across all development endeavors, and that by keeping these factors in mind, engineerscan more efficiently and successfully bring products from concept to completion. It is the goalof this work to examine any current strategies and see where and why they fall short, as well asto present an initial attempt at a method to strategically approaching engineering prototyping.The Business ApproachWhile businesses recognize the importance of innovation, the

Most teams have a majority of mechanicalengineering students with a minority of systems engineering or electrical engineering students.The designette was a well-scoped design problem that was unrelated to the students’ capstone,long-term, real-world project. In this work, we sought to discover if it would be advantageous toassign a designette that is a small portion of the long-term, real world project, or to continue toassign a artifical, unrelated designette project. It is with this in mind that we developed ourresearch question: Research Question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of relating the designette project to the larger
