In the stream, they work in teams to define a research question orhypothesis and begin the work.

Problem solving skills are critical to becoming an effective engineer. With minimalapplication opportunities for upper-level course material in the typical engineering curriculum,students are often not sufficiently prepared to accomplish rigorous design projects in industryimmediately following graduation. Having the requisite knowledge is only one part of the task;being able to effectively utilize and apply prior knowledge requires more advanced learningoutcomes.
