Assessments of the PBL submissions were largely gauged to theability of the students to bring forward pertinent questions and to ultimately produce a synthesisdeliverable that included a comprehensive project assessment and bid submission.

In addition, engineering design can only be fullyexperienced with some sort of realization. Currently, there is almost no other experience that canreplace a fabricated prototype to reveal implications of design decisions while revealingcomplexities and deficiencies within a given prototype or design. Most courses fall short; theyfocus either on the front end of designs or focus too much on prototyping. This summerexperience allowed students to undergo a full design cycle, with the exception of deployment,which was not possible under the circumstance. There are also very few

In fact, 71 of the 101 collegestransferred less than 25 students. Based upon the course enrollment analysis above, and givencurrent trends in transfer requirements, it is conceivable that many of these small to medium-sized engineering programs (which accounted for 42% of the total 2,148 transfers) will cease toexist in the foreseeable future.
