One struggle students have had in the capstone course was an inability to handle large, team-based projects, despite having the technical knowledge to solve the problem. The hope was that, with an earlier introduction to these skills, and connecting earlier on with students who possess leadership skills like those coming from the military, students would be more comfortable in the

There were engineering challenges concerning how to build sustainable tinyhomes and use rainwater harvesting to support an urban garden. Student designers also had to learn thebasics of social work and poverty alleviation so that they could design a neighborhood that would buildconfidence and community for homeless individuals.

However, that concern is applicable only to class-level or course-level competitions.Intercollegiate competitions are not generated by an individual instructor/course director.Beyond this obvious difference, there are many other differences that the casual observer couldidentify, which make inferring greater learning-value seem plausible.
