Typically, enforcement involved a quick meeting with the infringing team to find away to modify their idea so that it now fell into a useful gap in the other team’s patent claims.Teams who subsequently felt that their patent was being infringed upon were likewise brought infor a quick discussion to see how the other team’s idea fell into a gap in their claims. Having theclass patent system thus generated very effective discussions about what patent claims mean,how they work, and why they are written as they are. Class patent applications were submitted as a pdf file attached to an email to theinstructor. A sample patent

Part 2 asks students to rate their opinionsregarding the importance of each phase and their enjoyment level of each phase, and part 3 asksstudents to rank the engineering design phases according to their importance and enjoymentlevel.Part 2’s questions are on 5-point scales with 1 being “Not Important At All” or “Not EnjoyableAt All” and 5 being “Extremely Important” or “Extremely Enjoyable”. Part 3’s questions askstudents to rank the stages of the engineering design process in order of importance from 1 to 4with 1 being “Most Important” and 4 being “Least Important” or 1 being “Most Enjoyable” and4 being “Least Enjoyable”.

Basicstatistical analysis was used to compare the level of readiness in the two student populationsbased on their grades in the prerequisite course, Statics. Besides calculating the mean ( X ) andstandard deviation (S) values of the grades in the two groups, a t-test was also performed basedon a 95% confidence level7. The t-test helps to determine whether the difference between the twostudent groups (the mean values) is statistically significant. In a
