At least one instructor “flipped theclassroom” for this introductory portion, assigning students to watch several sustainability-related TED Talks8 outside of class and discussed and debated the topics in class. Followingthis, they were assigned a project consisting of the following five basic steps: 1. Identify a product with opportunities for improvement in sustainability. 2. Research product’s current design and manufacture. 3. Analyze sustainability of current design and manufacture. 4. Identify alternative design and manufacturing approaches which may increase product’s sustainability. 5. Communicate proposed solution(s) through written and oral summary reports.Some students at

In other efforts,customers were incorporated, but they were either fictional or local. For example, Jensen andSchlegel have modified their first year mini-golf hole design project to require students tointerview potential mini-golf customers. Though students’ feedback about this new version ofthe project has been very positive, they only interviewed other people available on campus suchas their friends and because of this the findings of this effort are very similar to those fromtraditional first year hands-on design projects [12].

Considerable work, preparation and motivation are required to deliveran effective and persuasive presentation of this kind. At Stevens we have developed a companioncourse to the senior design sequence that involves a required participation in a pitch competition,involving prizes of considerable monetary value that are externally endowed in perpetuity. Wehave found that the format of our pitch presentation is well-structured, with both internal andexternal validation. The engineering teams select their best pitcher(s) to represent

ResultsThe study’s three hypotheses were assessed using the interviews and the coded data. On average,each of the 16 participants provided 2.2 reasons for not launching their project as a startup. 3.1. Hypothesis 1Hypothesis 1 was that students do not continue with their projects because they cannot take timeaway from the paying jobs that are supporting their education. The data suggest that this is true.As shown in Fig. 1, students most frequently mentioned lack of time as a factor discouragingpursuing a
