inspired idea or action,perhaps we must first experience many small inspired ideas. This hardly occurs just because wewish it to. We must immerse ourselves into an environment that provides sufficient intellectualinput to stimulate our mental processes – the creation of a mental infrastructure. The “Eureka”experience of Archimedes as he discovered the principle of buoyancy provides an example.According to the anecdote, he was obviously immersed in his work. Would he have made hisobservation if the question had not already been in his mind?Two of the author’s experiences may also serve to illustrate why it is necessary to become deeplyinvolved before an inspired idea occurs. In the first case, as a polymer pilot plant engineer

A CADD based structuralanalysis program evaluates a selected area to be spanned then develops a material schedule,chooses details and draws the framing diagram. CADD generated presentations also allowclients and consultants to share more thoroughly in the design process.

To aidacademia-minded students, an initial guide for the motivated student to begin informal self-training in theart of college teaching is presented. Types of resources for teaching instruction as well as primary focalcontent for a basic self-taught program is explored. The outline of this process consists of course workand practicing of basic skills followed by a team teaching session. These suggestions are discussed in thecontext of a fledgling

So that when they go to college, its in their minds. As far as the students, it's for, to open the idea of entrepreneurship, innovations and different types of collaborations that we haven't done in diverse engineering research applications.

Future plans for broader community engagement could includesolicitation of feedback on design alternatives as well as presentations of final projects, however,groundwork must be done with the community members and stakeholders to ensure thecommunity understands the difference between creative student work and actionable designs oflicensed engineers.

As previouslynoted, the sophomore level of the engineering students means that many implemented designsare expected to fail. The only way to mitigate this is to find collaborate partners that fullyunderstand and accept that no successful outcome is guaranteed. In this case, working with aneducational institution with the shared goal of educating students permitted this condition.Regular communication kept the collaboration going.A third challenge is another one faced with all projects – cost.
