While moststudents utilize social media already, few have developed project portfolios, andacademic makerspaces can naturally demonstrate the value for career preparation androle model the development of better project documentation.Moving forward, the authors hope to conduct follow up interviews for all four spaces asthe university and makerspace functions continue to develop. To begin to assess the long-term impact on engineering student design skills, longitudinal studies from the first-yearthrough capstone should be used. Many first-year engineering programs now utilizemakerspaces, either embedded in the design course itself or by encouraging training anduse of the larger school makerspace

The flipped classroom model was recently instituted at StateUniversity of New York (SUNY) Maritime College in a junior-level engineering course with a studentpopulation of largely varying abilities and career goals, including students who seek U.S. Coast Guardlicensure. The motivation for adopting the flipped classroom model was threefold: (1) The traditionalclassroom may be a disconnect for license students who often work in teams and spend many hours inactive-learning environments like ship simulators and on a training ship. Thus, it is reasonable tosuspect that the flipped classroom model may resonate well with license students who seem to thrive inthese hands-on
