, students reflected on their own experience and three mainthemes emerged from their responses: creativity in user-centered design, time management, andcommunication/collaboration. Students learned or improved on being more creative in user-centered design, having effective time management, and learning the importance ofcommunication and collaboration. These skills are a necessity in the workplace of today, validatingthe use of this project experience to better prepare engineering students for life after graduation.AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to acknowledge support and guidance from the Purdue ProfessionalDevelopment Opportunity for Engineering Instructors, Dr. Katey Shirey of eduKatey LLC as wellas the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering
fewparticipants (five) in a newly established engineering program. It would be interesting to see whatthe findings would be if the approach was integrated in an average full-size class of 20 to 25students.Further research is necessary to evaluate the impact the different components and interactions haveon students’ interdisciplinary learning and growth.AcknowledgementThe authors would like to acknowledge support and guidance from the Purdue ProfessionalDevelopment Opportunity for Engineering Educators, Dr. Katey Shirey of EduKatey LLC aswell as the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN)References[1] T.
