The linear regression content was taught through a video recorded by the previousinstructor.Finally, in module 5, students had to create PowerPoint slides for practicing interview skills. So they hadto come up with answers to possible interview questions like "tell us about yourself," or "why did youapply for this job position," "what type of position do you see yourself working five years from now?"Links to the Career Resource Center were provided.As you can see, the MS Office component was taught through Lynda.com, with low involvement of theinstructor on this topic.

Kennedy, Arizona State University Professor Kennedy’s experience spans biomedical engineering research, project management, and ad- vanced technology application in industry. Mr. Kennedy’s expertise stems from spending the last 25+ years working in the field of engineering.

After, Dr. Kennedy helped establish the Silicon Valley office and operations of VI Technology, Inc., an independent

Overall, Rozelle found the new, more open-ended project to be a better way to teach engineering design. Students indicated they knew moreabout engineering design after the project, and were in greater agreement that students should learnabout engineering design early in their college career. Additionally, students expressed greaterinterest in the project, indicated finding it more fun and liking the project, but also found it slightlymore frustrating. Student comments, in particular, indicated they loved the freedom and creativityrequired by the project.Overall, the literature indicates that incorporating an
