Client companies can leveragethe advanced capabilities of graduate students to address business challenges and have theopportunity to interact with and evaluate potential recruits.The successful integration of open-ended client projects into a graduate course poses challengesfor all parties involved. Assessment of students’ experiences with such a project can guide futuredecisions about the structure of projects that best meets the needs of students, clients, andfaculty. This paper presents the results of a study of students’ experiences with an open-endedclient project in a graduate course. The study participants are master’s, doctoral, and advancedundergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses at two different universities. The content

Next, there are no standardized teaching methodologiesor techniques available to teach creativity within the engineering leadership curriculum, despite awealth of general creativity techniques focused on specific creative activities, such as ideageneration. And finally, there has been little acknowledgement or push from either the professionalinstitutions or industries of the role of creativity in leadership development for engineers; withoutthis external recognition of its importance, it will be more difficult to persuade academicinstitutions to invest in creativity instruction within their engineering curricula.Exploratory

feedback is necessary to help students further develop these skills and ithas been suggested such feedback is best when situated in the context of authentic engineeringtasks 3. We hypothesize that in such a context, students are more likely to take up feedback onprofessional skills because these skills will be viewed as an integral part of what an engineerdoes. There are two parts to providing students with feedback on these skills: (a) we first musthave a firm understanding of what it means to have professional skills in engineering, and (b) weneed to know how to effectively provide students with feedback on these skills.The case study described in this paper focuses on discourse as students receive feedback whilethey engage in an industrially
