the statement that the expectations for the individual tasks wereclear. The open-ended nature of the design task is bound to create some frustration for the students,and this is actually something they need to become comfortable with as they prepare for their upper-division design classes (e.g., capstone design) and professional careers. Student feedback to open-ended questions about the project, presented in the next section, helped to determine whether theseresponses were accompanied by significant negative perceptions about the project.Table 6.

These projects are focused onconnecting a team of motivated students with a client to develop a useful solution to their problem.The academic curriculum does not include many opportunities to connect classroom learning withpractical design prior to senior capstone projects. Providing students this opportunity not onlyhelps make the world a better place, but it also changes what it means to be an engineer, instillinga sense of global value into their work.
