It has been shown that ifstudents have a strong, positive conviction about their knowledge in engineering, then they aremore likely to succeed academically in the specific subject, as

entrepreneurship to hard core engineering. Some resourcesavailable to the faculty are heavy on the business side of the problem and somewhat lighter onthe technological and engineering side. To more effectively balance these topics, tweaking ofavailable resources must be done. In general, these types of courses involve a project thatproduces a 3D solid computer model of the product, or a physical prototype. An inevitableconsequence of this is that either existing products must be designed (actually copied) for theproject, or intellectual property must be considered. This paper discusses three areas ofrefinement to commonly available resources, two of which are technical in nature and one ofwhich is entrepreneurial. They are: (1) enhancement of engineering

In software engineering design, the whole processis referred to as Requirements Engineering (RE), though RE is rooted in systems engineering andapplies more broadly than just software-intensive projects [15]. In Human-Centered Design andDesign Thinking, requirements development is intrinsically tied to the Understand (Empathize)and Synthesize (Define) phases where unmet needs are explored [16], [17] though requirementsare not necessarily discussed

Thesehypotheses are tested using a quasi-experiment conducted during a freshmen class project.Students complete their projects in three different experimental groups. One group receives afixating example with an undesirable feature. The feature negatively influences the functionalityof the design. The second group receives the same fixating example with warnings about theundesirable feature. The third group completes the project without the help of an example(control). Students are instructed to build and test their designs. The designs are photographedbefore and after testing. The occurrence of the flawed example feature in each design is studied.The results show

Engineeringdesign can be taught in the classroom using innovative hands-on projects, such as designing andbuilding serve to teach design, promote creativity, and provide opportunities for hands-onproblem solving, in addition to giving students experience working in cooperative teams. In turn,these experiences could encourage students to consider future careers in engineering and science.

, students often lack the background and are not provided with the necessaryguidance for using expert prototyping techniques to maximize project outcomes6,7. Today’sengineering design curricula commonly view prototyping as a phase, a singular activity thatoccurs only once after performing engineering analysis8. This limited use may contribute tostudents' underutilization of prototypes. As a result, students may be missing out on the greaterpotential of prototypes that professional designers benefit from9,10.

First, consider the idea of partial participation. Newcomers in a MCoP engage inpartial participation through scaffolding such as tutorials and structured labs. These initialactivities or projects are typically more scaffolded, less complex, and more peripheral to thecommunity than, for example, a full design-build project at the bleeding edge of the MCoP’scapabilities. Thus, partial participation allows newcomers opportunities to not just learn how todesign or make a particular object but to make
