of individuals.Understanding these value similarities and dissimilarities may help to identify and inform betterdesign practices in industry or engineering preparation. For example, a further investigation mayilluminate that idealistic design methods may not be retained by students as they move into theworkplace and become practicing engineers. Alternatively, it may be possible that classroomenvironments need additional support to authentically mimic the engineering workplace andmore closely align with industry perceptions and expectations. It is also possible that theinstructors’ evaluations may have been influenced by factors beyond the artifact such as theteam’s work ethic and other insights the instructors may be privy to about the team

The two courses are the only two project-based courses oncutting-edge computer technologies in our curriculum. These courses provided students with theopportunities to learn and practice real-world software engineering, and gain experiences insolving multidisciplinary practical problems. Furthermore, these courses help students to attainseveral ABET student outcomes that are difficult to accomplish via traditional lecture-based andlab-based courses, such as (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, (i) arecognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning, and (j) a knowledge ofcontemporary issues.These
