Industry is very concerned about labor cost (time) and cannot afford todeal with unsupported, and often non-robust, tools. The use of such problem-plaguedtools was a major impediment to obtaining an operational system. The sponsor’s CEOhas talked to the students and emphasized that “time is money” and “do not hesitate toask for help” – especially utilizing the supporting professionals – plus looking for otherways to successfully proceed when faced with a stalled task (think out of the box).Problem Handling: “The skill of diagnosis and subsequent corrective actions that isefficacious.” In college engineering labs effective student laboratory

There are usually two projects given in the class. The first project is defined by theinstructor, which helps maintain a focus on course and curriculum objectives. In the secondproject, students are allowed to pick their own topic, which gives them the autonomy to choosetheir own project formulations and strategies, which in turn increases their motivation.Project based learning at the individual course level is familiar in engineering education.

Authenticinvolvements use outside clients while simulations use experimental laboratories,guided design, or case studies. In an article in 2006, Davis et al.
