Of these, planning and implementation are predominantly interdependent. As thephase responsible for the highest percentage of project failures, planning is the preliminary, mostcrucial, and most strategic of the three ("planning") stages. The assertion was substantiated in 2008by the [19], which declared that a considerably greater likelihood of success exists for asufficiently planned project instead of an inadequately planned one. Effective planning does notguarantee the success of a project in isolation

These spaces in which “making” occurs can be commonly referred to as“makerspaces.” Makerspaces on college campuses serve as physical locations for students todesign, fabricate, and make both for class and personal projects [7], [8]. On a deeper level, thesespaces allow for students to network, bond, help each other with homework, and strengthen theirengineering identities [7].Makerspaces are varied across universities. Some makerspaces are only accessible while staff ispresent, whether it be student workers, support staff, or both [7]. Others are swipe accessible tostudents so that they have 24/7 unsupervised access to the space [8]. Some makerspaces

foundational principle that drives people to work towards a more equitable global society.Engineering students can engage in social justice work in their classrooms through service-learning projects, which involve real community needs being met while also addressing academicobjectives [8]. During these experiential learning opportunities, there are potential linguistic,cultural, and technical barriers [9] which can occur between students and community partners.Therefore, continuous development and reflection are necessary for students to better relate andunderstand their community partners to foster an effective partnership. Similarly, communitypartners must adjust to working with students, as the university schedule can be constraining[10

An externalcompany defined the requirements for the image recognition system. The number of subsystemsthat interconnect to support this expanded functionality is challenging. The subsystems thatmake up this solar-powered camera system include a charging circuit, a heating circuit, a triggercircuit, a solar array, and batteries, Along with the challenges presented from designing thesubsystems, there were a number of lessons learned as a result of the project. Of the lessonslearned, the most notable were the challenge of getting parts for a prototype, the level of

There are also many programs that adopt integrated curriculum,therefore the lab components are integrated into regular courses. For example, when engineeringdynamics course is offered, a 1 credit lab course is offered in conjunction with the lecture. Thisarrangement ties the experiments to course content very well, helps to reinforce the knowledgethat students learned from lectures. It brings the real world into theoretical education.While it is the general agreement that laboratories, hands on experience are necessary, little hasbeen said about what they are expected to accomplish [2].

In-person recruiting events were planned in the service areas ofeach of the community colleges and in a 10-county region surrounding the university. Theoriginal plan for programming was to offer special events and speakers on each campusthroughout the academic year so that all of the scholars could meet each other and learn moreabout the engineering profession.
