For previous ECE students their first exposure to manydesign concepts and tools was during their senior year course. Building key design skills andconceptual understanding via exposure to multiple small, open-ended projects that increase incomplexity through the semester during their junior spring semester will enable students to entertheir capstone course the following year in a higher state of readiness. The course providesexposure to multiple design processes prevalent in academe and industry and encouragesstudents to internalize the key steps common to nearly all

In addition, the student had taken a surveycourse of exemplary works of structural engineering, but had not yet taken any other engineeringcourses on, for example, statics or mechanics. This project sought to explore how a modelbuilding project could augment or perhaps even supplant traditional approaches to teachingintroductory engineering topics.This project was formed as a collaboration between industry (a structural engineering firm) andacademia (a college’s civil engineering department).

Topics included characteristics of entrepreneurs, converting ideas into opportunities, sources of funding for innovation, etc. The lectures were timely and informative, and the material is considered to be essential to a successful invention and innovation course. However, because the course is already team-taught by both authors, students found the addition of a third instructor to be confusing. In subsequent course offerings
