Students were asked to consider one of the initial steps within the productdevelopment process. This required them to consider the populations from which engineers needto seek input in the early stages of the technology and ring prototypes. The students thenresponded to a second electronic poll inquiring about the career readiness competencies that aremost necessary for this stage of their product design, which leads to a discussion about the socialand non-technical competencies that are so critical in early stages of a project.
