The instructor of the Fall senior laboratory course explained that she workedclosely with the writing instructor to frame the writing process for students. Part of this involvedreferencing the ABET student outcomes as evidence that engineering involves a broader skillsetthan just the technical, but she also made a persuasive argument that "I have good news and goodnews! You only need to do 2 experiments this semester. You will become a better writer." Sheexplained her motivation for making changes and prepared students so they would know what toexpect (Figure 3).

organized by the parameters mentioned above. Technical and Professional Learning Figure 2 shows the professional and technical learning that was accomplished while participants were working on industry or internal projects. The rating scale ranges from 1 (poor learning) to 10 (excellent learning). The results from all participants show that technical learning is almost the same in both project types, but professional learning in internal projects is significantly lower. The likely reason is due to the extensive professional interaction between the students and external engineers. 1= Poor 10=Excellent 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3

Each team must pull together all of these concepts from amongsta membership of only 3 or 4 first-year students. What’s more, every team separately conceives anddesigns their own game, so every team has a unique set of technical challenges to overcome. Given thecomplexity of this work, student teams would benefit enormously from the availability of a targeted,learn-on-demand resource available throughout their project, especially if that resource feels like anatural, real-world practice that provides genuinely useful assistance in

However,student engagement suffers from the challenges associated with such logistics, which is alsoevident from the lower number of STEM graduates in recent years [4].
