The course introduces basic engineering concepts,and discusses resumes, internships, professionalism, and engineering ethics. Students do nottake the Technical Communication course, which covers resume writing in depth, until late in thesophomore year, so all lower division students are advised to meet with the internshipcoordinator for resume assistance.Evaluation and AssessmentTo assess program effectiveness, students both in the College of Engineering researchlaboratories and industry internships will be asked to fill out a

Byencouraging students to propose and address their own issues within the project framework,Scrum fosters a deep sense of ownership and motivation. This approach often leads to “aha”moments, such as realizing how state machines can be applied to build functionalities like clockcounting, sparking a genuine eagerness to learn. Additionally, as students implement morefeatures through hands-on experimentation, they naturally acquire a deeper understanding of theconcepts. This cycle of learning by doing not only enhances their technical skills but also
