Each academic term, student teams are invited to submit briefproposals for up to $1000 in funding to purchase materials and equipment for prototypedevelopment. Proposals are screened by the Innovation Council, which consists of faculty,staff and community members. If the proposal passes an initial screening, the studentteam is invited to give a 5-minute presentation, followed by 5 minutes of questions fromthe Innovation Council.

positive changes to thesuccess of the course and improvements in learning outcomes. The most significant impact hasarisen from changing the focus of the pre-capstone course from completing projects that utilizedspecific knowledge domains of electrical engineering to defining and modeling the designprocess by establishing project milestones which follow the design process. A second changethat had large positive impact on student success is developing resources to improve teamfunctioning, matching team size to project complexity, and creating a project manager role oneach team. Finally, changes to the learning environment which mimic an actual professionalworkplace and reduce the barriers to completing design projects have proven effective

Design is rarely a linearprocess, it is iterative in nature. Each design project is unique, there is no one process to followfor design. In general, the design process can be described as: • Define the problem (which includes establishing objectives and criteria, and developing a plan), • synthesize math, science and engineering knowledge to develop alternatives, • evaluate the alternatives (through testing, analysis
