open-ended exploration of the problem and solution. Similarly, commercial product “flops” werepotentially familiar to students, close-ended, and difficult to collect sufficient contextualelements related to the failure. Thus, we elected to focus on student design projects. Studentdesign projects were collected from publicly available engineering capstone design coursewebsites, which typically provided ample information about projects. The capstone websiteswere located through Google searches of university engineering capstone design programs fromaround the United States.Our initial search identified 13 student design projects fitting our criteria, covering a range ofdomains and including a diverse set of contextual elements.

Another mechanism for closing this gap is theimplementation of efficient peer-to-peer mentorship programs to facilitate knowledge and skillstransfer.With these concerns in mind, the main objectives of the project included:(1) developing experiments that engage students with inquiry-based learning style; Page 22.1059.3(2) introducing students to real world projects; and(3) improving communication skills through required product documentation.In our capstone course specifically, the student project has many components that emphasizecommunication skills.

In addition, possible improvements to this design have been considered and thesame project could be reassigned in future semesters.

Notably,students largely did not identify any other courses as being directly connected to their first-yearcoursework. This was unexpected since, to an extent, several of the first-year course activitieswere developed to familiarize students with subsequent courses (e.g., circuits and staticscalculations). However, these activities were relegated to a somewhat cursory overview, and asnoted by two students, there was not enough “technical content” in the first-year courses toprovide benefit, particularly since this content was reviewed at the beginning of future courses.Moreover, while three total participants later recommended that
