In fact, a simple search using “open ended example problems” as the search topic on theASEE (American Society for Engineering Education) PEER website reveals 12668 results. Aneffective way to implement such open-ended problems is through either problem – or project –based learning. A similar search, using the “PBL engineering” as the search topic, reveals 1457articles on the ASEE PEER, but only 292 articles when the “engineering technology” is used as asearch topic, such as [7] - [13]. Extensive literature reviews of PBL implementations inengineering education and challenges were also done in the past [14] - [16].In all instances, the authors found that PBL

Substantial interaction between mechanical engineering andentrepreneurship students in a senior level capstone course resulted in noteworthy improvementsin final project quality [3].When entrepreneurship is present, as it is in this study, a recent literature review identified a needfor more studies that measure its educational impacts [4]. This is not a new conclusion.Immersion in a process, such as the one conducted in this study, or even a simulation allowschildren to learn extensive amounts of information in short periods of time [5]. However, fewpedagogical impact investigations interrogate more than direct, overall academic achievement,even with one of the most studied constructs, achievement motivation [6

In this model, students are introduced to common math,science and engineering fundamentals during the first three years and receive more discipline 1specific instruction only in their fourth year of study through professional electives.

the instructors were pleased with how the course went and the students’ demonstratedlearning and responses. The seniors were all in their capstone design course at the same time asthis class so they had more experience with longer-term open-ended projects and presentationsthan the juniors. Initially some of the juniors were more tentative in their groups and theirpresentations but it was great to see improvement and by the end of the semester, all students tookownership of the projects. Note that all juniors were on teams with some seniors. One teamincluded only seniors. Having the whole class collaborate on the final presentation to outsidestakeholders was the most risky aspect of the project. This turned out to be one of the most
