The project is anopen-ended problem with multiple solution options. Students have scaffold-ed experiences withinthe course to guide them towards several possible techniques. Students follow a fullproblem-solving structure through defining their problem, exploring options, planning a method,implementing said method, and then reflecting upon the success of their design.IntroductionThe first of the seven ABET outcomes is stated as “an ability to identify, formulate, and

EM is the precursor toentrepreneurship that focuses on business ventures1. In engineering, it recalls recent technicalachievements and equips the engineers with the ability to impact society and the world aroundthem2. There are three key elements in the EM.

Thisreflection better enables them to compare and contrast new material and even make connectionswith future course and industry solutions.
