assist the undergraduate engineering community inidentifying and developing the types of projects that provide students with the best opportunitiesto achieve their learning outcomes. Another long-term goal is to use such a PBL classification tocharacterize other highly promoted projects in engineering education such as capstone designprojects which by nature are more complex and ill-structured.LimitationsFuture studies should also address the limitations within the current study. The indicators ofcomplexity and structuredness were developed while the reverse engineering project was inprogress. This did not allow us to develop a priori classification ratings for each of theindicators prior to students beginning their project. An a priori

Page 15.1314.4Students that have not faced open-ended design problems will find that their education isinsufficient when they enter the workforce. There has been a great response to this needincluding accreditation requirements requiring students to work in a collaborative, team-oriented,capstone design project. Another avenue to expose students to this type of work isundergraduate research. But using an existing building as a laboratory lends itself

design requires both technical skills and the ability toincorporate stakeholder perspectives to create innovative and relevant solutions. Stakeholderidentification and engagement are particularly important during the front-end design phases,where problem scoping and user research shape project outcomes. Front-end design refers to theinitial stages of the design process, where designers define problems, gather requirements, andexplore possible solutions, often with significant input from stakeholders to ensure the outcomesare contextually relevant [2].Despite its recognized importance, students often encounter challenges in stakeholderengagement. Common barriers include difficulties setting clear goals for interactions,synthesizing feedback, and

Research has shown that designprojects for first-year engineering students have many benefits, such as improved self-efficacyand increased confidence in professional skills such as teamwork, communication, andleadership [7]. One important benefit is improved retention by exposing students to realengineering early in their college experience, particularly for students who have not yet decidedon their major [8].
