Thoughuniversities currently exhibit full design cycles across a variety of courses spread out in differentsemesters, it could be of major benefit for universities to integrate student extracurricular designteams as a part of the engineering curriculum. The ingrained collaboration required in designteams, as well as the cross-disciplinary interaction of students, academic mentors/advisors andindustry sponsors, is the most realistic analogue to the full end-to-end design cycle currentlypresent in an academic setting. In addition, since the competitive aspect of design competitionsto create superior designs push students to explore new/creative design avenues

Unlike college professors who are motivated and energizedby students [16], Maslach and Leiter [15] described individuals suffering from exhaustion asbeing characterized as depleted, fatigued, and lacking energy. Not surprisingly, studies havereported negative correlations between emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction [11], [17], [18].While the impact that burnout and low levels of job satisfaction have on faculty includes avariety of subpar performance
