technical aspects of an engineering career and foster a broadersense of life-long learning.Other important aspects of professional practice that support design include budgeting, teaming,diversity & inclusion, ethics, and project impacts. These are described below.Budgeting Money is a key aspect of a design. Funding for capstone projects is an area of significantvariation among capstone courses nationally [7]. In our program, a two-phased fundingapproach is used, which augments their communication and persuasive skills. Each team isallocated a baseline funding amount. They are informed that they will have an opportunity to“pitch their project to interested investors” for additional funding. These investors are, in fact,the university’s

suggestions for improvement. Based on the results of this research, the projectshould be expanded to incorporate content for other courses and possibly even other universities.An Augmented Reality Mobile application can be a supplement to traditional lecture materialsand allow independent learning, which can be especially useful during a pandemic. However, myresearch showed that the map and augmented reality portion of the app were less highly ratedand not as important as the practice mode which could be completed without walking aroundcampus.1 IntroductionDuring the best of times, computer science is thought of as difficult to instruct and to learn1,2 anddropout rates in introductory computer science courses are high2.

other engineering education institutions: at heart, the project aims to helpstudents better understand, and hence be better prepared for, their post-graduation futures. Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7]. [7] proposes more broadly that“curriculum developers and instructors should employ an integrative approach where studentscan connect their use of

What examples or best practices exist in the US or internationally?Amazon is known for having a tough and often punishing work culture that nonetheless,provides opportunity to create, invent, and “think big” (Kantor & Streitfeld, 2015).

Reasons for these selections included“practicing skills taught in school”, helping improve the community, mentorship having asignificant impact on them or others.Given the small number of respondents, future work will seek to obtain a larger sample ofstudents from the target student groups . With the initial understanding of the challenges faced bystudent groups, future iterations of this survey may seek to both collect data alongside providingstudents with resources and guidance on areas of concern that team members have noted. Thismay further incentivize survey participation by providing further guidance to students workingon CEL as they
