), engineering education has seen a shift to the importance of design andproblem solving. The approach has been to educate by specific engineering field [24].Largely, students have relied on internships and coop programs to gain experience in the field.Capstone design projects with external clients are also common in engineering curricula,providing students opportunities to work on real problems with external clients. It is verycommon for students to reflect on these experiences highlighting a greater sense of clarity aboutengineering and its application. Indeed, when asked about their favorite or most impactfulexperience at the time of graduation, it is common that students highlight internship, coop andcapstone design experiences. Outside of capstone
