significant changes, particularly in the wayengineering schools are adopting problem-based instruction to meet the changing demands ofpractice. Increasingly, engineering schools are requiring students to work on team projects that areopen-ended with loosely specified requirements, produce professional-quality reports andpresentations, consider ethics and the impact of their field on society, and develop lifelonglearning practices. While there exist numerous implementations of courses adopting these methodsto purportedly improve student learning, measuring the impact of problem-based instructionremains challenging. The existing evidence generally suffers from methodological shortcomingssuch as reliance on students’ self-reported perceptions of

Bycreating an environment that values and addresses their beliefs, educators contribute significantlyto students' holistic success and fulfillment in their educational journey [25-27].Ethical Considerations: Certain beliefs, especially those entrenched in ethics, morality, andreligion, can be deeply ingrained and highly sensitive for students [28, 29]. Faculty memberswith a nuanced understanding of these beliefs are better equipped to navigate discussions andteachings related to these delicate topics.

They challenge students todevelop innovative and ethical approaches to complex, wide-ranging problems.By deliberately keeping the challenges broad, and asking students to consider each problem frommany perspectives, these projects encourage students to develop a better understanding ofengineering in context and the need for knowledge of other disciplines.

Liaw4 believes thatstrong industry ties add breadth, depth, and continuity to the undergraduate education.Along with the benefits, these partnerships can create ethical concerns. Such concernsinclude the rights of both parties, approaches that are fair to all, and the need to avoidconflict of interest5. To address these concerns, guidelines that direct the actions ofpartners have been promulgated by such bodies as the U.S. Office of Science andTechnology 6.In this paper, we present a partnership and collaboration that has recently been createdbetween University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Lab-Volt
