These steps range from idea generation to the final product specifications.Along side, and equally important, the students learn the standard methods of interpreting andcreating engineering drawings.

Thegoal of the method, derived from problem-based approaches, was to support students inprogramming a large-scale project that lasted the entire semester (similar in spirit withapproaches suggested in 2,3). It was obvious from the start that an independent site for the coursewould be needed to provide a posting and collaboration space centered around the project.

DesignApplications course is that most course assignments will be in project form and come fromindustry. The challenge in this area is having active and involved program advisory panels thatare willing to participate at a high level of cooperation with your program. At MCC we have hadvaried levels of participation from advisory committee members. Members are more thanwilling to give suggestions on project topics and possible design scenarios from their industry,but due to proprietary reasons, as of yet they have not been willing to share any parametric UGassembly files that we can use as a starting point for a real life industrial applications.As a result, prior to the start of the course I visited three companies, which gave me ideas forindustrial-based

The purpose of this exploratorystudy is to understand the motivation the academics had to engage with students and invest timeand resources in creating research projects not attached to students' grades or credits. Weconducted interviews with academics to understand why they decided to engage with theresearch projects. Our results suggest that the most important thing was to develop student-teacher engagement, which had an implication later on in their classrooms. Similarly, they saw itas a mentoring opportunity and as a way to improve their time-management skills.IntroductionStudent motivation and engagement
