Many noted the importance of the program for further career growth and thedevelopment of interest to regular skills development. In groups where the representatives ofvarious specialized enterprises were getting their training, the students felt it was important anduseful to exchange their opinions with colleagues.

In order to teach well, we must understand the mental models that students use to perceive the world and the assumptions they make to support those models. 4. The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own meaning, not just memorize the "right" answers and regurgitate someone else's meaning.Since high-tech engineering/engineering technology education is inherently interdisciplinary,with multiple career paths.

They are trained in working with interdisciplinary teams, andare taught to consider multiple options before selecting one for final work—a core ideaembodied in NEPA. Yet engineers are rarely exposed to the notion of broaderparticipation in a democratic society. If given the option, most faculties around theUnited States choose to add more technical specialization to a program of study, thatoften have a very short half-life with regards to an individual’s career, instead of fillingout the budding professional with an ensemble of “softer” skills, such as negotiationskills, or an explanation of how one participates in their government.My own experience as a professor in

Additionally, the project enforces the students todevelop extensive management skills through hands-on experience in planning, organizing, andexecuting projects, providing valuable expertise in various professional settings.Since the project integrates several areas in electrical engineering, it therefore provides a broadunderstanding of the interplay between these fields, enabling the practical
