Ambrose stated “experiential learning opportunities prompt learningwhen students are put in unfamiliar situations for which they are not prepared and yet must act inorder to get a job done.” [1]. Further, Stephens highlighted the need for diverse skills by stating“Today’s engineers need to be not only technically strong but also creative and able to work wellin teams, communicate effectively, and create products that are useful in the “real world””.
