University. The competition, as it exists today, consists of an autonomous navigation challenge, a design competition, and an interoperability challenge. The IGVC offers a design experience that is at the very cutting edge of engineering education. It is multidisciplinary, theory-based, hands-on, team implemented, outcome assessed, and based on product realization. It encompasses the very latest technologies impacting industrial development and taps subjects of high interest to students. The competition practice team organization and leadership skill development, and there are even roles for team members from business and engineering management, language and graphic arts, and public relations.

A “maker” identity has beenassociated with specific attitudes and abilities, such as creativity, the ability to createphysical models, and the embracing of failure, which engineering educators are nowstriving to foster in their students and throughout curricula.1-3 Over the past ten years,makerspaces, or innovation spaces, have been developed

Students must practice the fundamentals, and this is best done withclosed-ended problems of manageable scope. However, students may not perceive that suchproblems are deeply meaningful or inspirational, even if effort is made to relate the problem toindustry. The author is optimistic that student engagement in unstructured active problem-solving sessions would be higher in a course where the instructional team acted as coaches forlarger, open-ended, societally impactful problems (ideally sourced by the students)[11].When generating the videos for the first iteration of the course, the
