Several years back, students wanting to pursue higher education aftermatriculation had only 3 choices: 1) Choice 1 was to pursue an option from among the pure sciences, such as physics, chemistry, or biology. These majors in the present context are only appropriate for people interested in pursuing additional degrees, laboratory research, or careers in education. 2) Choice 2 involved selection from among the engineering science majors like civil engineering, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering.

Engineering graduates hired by the industry are not ready to start working from day onewithout additional training – and often many months of it. According to Groose2, that’s becausemost graduates come from research-based schools that emphasize the engineering sciences andtheory over the teaching of practical applications of that knowledge.

For their senior projects, students apply thebackground and skills accumulated through coursework in researching a problem, for whichthen a solution is investigated, designed and implemented. A significant part of the knowledgeand skills needed for the projects are straightforward learning from the actual courses taken inthe program, but often new skills are needed, specific to the project topic selected, and studentsneed to apply their learning skills in researching a new subject, or getting familiar with a newpiece of hardware or software platform
