Students presented their posters duringa poster session, during which they reviewed each other’s work and provided an evaluation. Topics included thehistory of radio and television, Marconi’s transatlantic radio system, the Big Dig and Zakim Bridge, the PilgrimNuclear Power Plant, the Cape Cod Canal, wind farms, robotic surgery, textile mills, and the development ofbackscatter X-rays. These first year students had completed a calculus course and were enrolled in their first physicscourse and second calculus course. They had almost no exposure to courses in their majors, so their understandingof the technical issues was quite shallow

Depending on the program andparticular institution, they may have different course structures [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and differentstudent outcomes or expectations. Ozkan et al. [1] examines the ancillary effects (both positive andnegative) of poorly defined problem statements, and the importance of understanding the actualproblem before attempting a solution. One accreditation-based educational objective is to document“student must demonstrate an ability to identify, formulate complex engineering problems….” This isoften a difficult and perplexing step for the students, who naturally want to jump directly into
