Education, 2021 Value Perceptions of Industry Interactions in a National Airport Design CompetitionAbstractInteractions with subject matter experts during student design activities is an idea embraced bymany faculty as a crucial component of a design course. However, the process of involvingexperts is challenging and takes a significant amount time in a semester that is already packedwith other course requirements and activities. Furthermore, meaningful interactions betweenstudents and experts requires that students be trained on interaction etiquette, and on responsibleconduct of research. With other priorities demanding student and faculty time, realizinginteraction between industry experts and students

The projects lead to the major capstone design experience, Senior Design, whichis a three-term course sequence: EE-407/8/9. Each term consists of an eleven week term, so threeterms is one academic year. While all EE students are required to take this course sequence,interdisciplinary projects may be undertaken, and the teams can include other engineeringstudents: computer, mechanical, software, etc. Over the 26 years of the existence of this course,it has
