. We introduce the concepts of intellectual property and itsprotection through patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, and the technical tools ofmodern engineering practice, including solids modeling and rapid prototyping. Each teamproduces a working prototype of their product idea, identify the claims for a patent, develop abusiness plan for its eventual commercialization, and write a proposal for external funding.We seek to learn the design process by actually engaging in design activity that results in usefuland novel products: (a) Consumer products. Using the skills and knowledge gained from theirundergraduate education, teams of students identify a “real life” problem to be solved, anddesign a product to solve it; and/or (b

The Civil Engineering andConstruction Management programs have several courses that require either a) significant physicalinteractions with student peers and instructors, and/or b) hands on access to laboratory facilities.Some of these courses are Civil & Construction Materials, Strength of Materials

withacademia in an engineering education conference in 2010 [18-20].Students first became involved in this project in the spring 2015 semester during a solarphotovoltaic course (17 students) at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). During the course,students were tasked with building a portable grid-tied solar photovoltaic lab equipment afterextensive lectures to learn the theory. Students worked in teams to prepare an action plan for theproject. Four teams were created for the initial steps of the project. The assignments of the teamsare (a) estimates and quotes for the materials; (b) computer aided design (CAD); (c) productionof the portable stand; (d) purchasing of solar photovoltaic related equipment and supply; and (e)building the unit-system
