hands-on skills development; be completedduring a typical laboratory period; not require specialized equipment; be carried out in a range of physicalspaces; and illustrate general engineering principles beyond the details of the project. We have developedand tested several projects that meet these requirements including a solar-powered phone charger, anelectrodynamic loudspeaker, and a suite of microcontroller-based activities with a biomedical project.The series of projects include scaffolding to support novices, while also containing relevant open-endeddesign elements to challenge the creativity of the more experienced. Students show increases inconfidence and interest along with decreases in anxiety concerning engineering. Females attained
