There is an iterative revisiting ofengineering topics, innovation and entrepreneurship subjects, business acumen, and leadershipengineering themes throughout the courses. The first year introduces core concepts in design,innovation, and entrepreneurship, the second year brings engineering modeling and simulations,and measurements to incorporate technical engineering practices, the third year focuses onentrepreneurship, people, and products, and the capstone year drives innovation in practice,through culminating team-driven projects.

Most of us had littleexperience or preparation for online or remote teaching. However, the principles of goodteaching have stood the test of time: organize the content, plan the presentation and activities,communicate clearly, create intellectual excitement, and engage students. These principles haveendured for centuries, and they will endure into the “new normal”—whatever that turns out tobe.We embraced this idea at our university, developing a weeklong workshop to prepare faculty forremote and online teaching based on an

A key characteristic of the product design teamswas their use of drawings at every stage of the design process; in contrast the freshmanengineering teams carried out more detailed information gathering activities. These differencesbetween senior product and freshman engineering teams reflected the emphasis areas in theircurriculum. All four teams frequently iterated between the different stages of the design processand project planning was a neglected area for all teams. Further research is needed to increasethe number of team studies to explore the role of design drawings in supporting teamcommunication, team information gathering and use processes, and the role of team diversity insupporting innovative design
