The research work is considered to be “partof what they are paid for”. In this project, I took a different approach: I decided to share a portionof my potential royalties with the students, since I felt that this teaming and appreciationapproach was a better one.

The students had three deliverablesto complete, which were (1) set up a LinkedIn profile, (2) send their resumé or CV to thecoordinator, and (3) conduct an informational interview.

In previous years, a singlereview was used, however this was inadequate for providing a quality product and giving thestudents adequate practice in conducting a design review. The SPFB settled on incorporatingthree design reviews. In addition, a multistage process was initiated to better match theprocesses similar to those cited in the background section. Specifically, in the first two reviews,the student teams must present technical designs and/or technical research results. These reviewsare directed toward design and selection of system components.
