In the final design project, students are given a list of design criteria anda budget. Students work in groups of five or six to generate ideas, which must conform to thedesign criteria and budget. Upon completion of the final project, students submit reports thatinclude engineering drawings, assembly instructions, calculations, project management chartsand tables. A full-day, on-campus design competition is organised for students to present theirdesigns in front of their fellow students and judging panels, which consist of faculty members,engineers from industry, senior and/or graduate students.

This suggests that prior performance (e.g., grades) and not just experience may be amongthe best predictors available. Finally, the data have confirmed that student performance on amidterm exam is most significantly impacted by whether students attend classes regularly andfor the full duration of the class, and whether they have access to the book—although it does notseem to matter much if that access is to a digital copy or to a printed copy.In conclusion, it is clear that more study is required to elucidate
