However, simply discussing expectations and work preferencesopenly during recruiting phases can give students and advisors better information on which tobase their decisions. Another tool that participants suggested was to hold a seminar series aboutgraduate school as part of an undergraduate capstone course. Prospective students will thenunderstand what is expected of them before beginning a research project with the advisor.Knowing what is expected of the student before beginning research will limit the number ofcases where they subsequently leave the group due to a mismatch between student and advisorexpectations. Participants also suggested that even if advisor and group expectations are madeclear

Students were allowed to select a topic(s) based on the course readings, class lecturesand discussions, any of the video segments, or topics brought up through the guest lectures. Inaddition, students were encouraged to consider the topic of their short paper as a springboard fortheir creative projects.Students were required to submit a proposal, in 250 words or less, that included an overview oftheir proposed project.

serious goal of increasing interest in and awareness of informationtechnology among high school students. However, the end of the year competition which iscalled IT-Olympics downplays the competitiveness in an effort to make the whole experienceenjoyable. The target audience for this project is high school students, especially those studentswho previously have not exhibited an interest in studying IT. The authors have found thatcollaborative real-time challenges where teams from different schools are required to shareresources and join forces on design challenges are very successful. The students exhibit moresocial interaction after these collaborative real-time challenges and this adds to the "party"atmosphere of the entire competition

Machu Pichu, in particular, highlighted the unique benefits of experiential learningon his intuition: “I believe that intuition plays a significant role in my school experience, particularly as an engineering student who engages in practical activities. The capstone projects provided me with the opportunity to apply my skills in a tangible, real-world context. However, in most of my other classes, there is not much room for intuition.

, reported two weeks later an officialdiagnosis by a specialist of “borderline right axis deviation” from a clinical 12-lead ECGrecording. We disclaim in the course that we are not trained physicians and should not make anyhealth diagnoses in class, yet it is gratifying to observe consistency between clinical and student-made ECG measurements.Impacts of the lab activities are seen in later years as well. For example, senior-year capstonedesign projects and junior-year biomedical design projects increasingly incorporate Arduino-based instrumentation. Whereas no biomedical engineering capstone projects used Arduinosystems before introducing them in the bioinstrumentation class, after four years, 11 of 29projects used them in successful design projects
