Traditional and non-traditional students valued both soft and hard skills they gainedfrom these projects, but emphasized the refinement of soft skills. The formal assessment of thecourse by the institution revealed that all students, without any exception, appreciated theirexperience from the EL projects.References1. Balachandran, S

The mostobvious examples involve tinkering with cars (e.g., finding security system workarounds forsomeone building a car from an early 90’s GM drivetrain) and robotics (e.g., adding a realelectrical engineering component to a project for a robotics competition). Less obvious are thekinds of activities that show how exciting engineering can be provided by our students that makeus so proud of them (e.g. finishing that great idea they had in their high school science fair ontheir own or a handicapped driver visiting science classes in their old high school).Whenstudents share these real world experiences, they are providing the best kind
