AB  - INSPIRES is a multidisciplinary experiential learning course, delivered in Fall 2024 to target second-year students. This two-credit hour course was designed to provide an introductory framework to guide student teams through project planning, management, and successful completion of  real-world engineering challenges. Throughout the course, students integrated previous knowledge to complete engineering analysis; practiced elements of the engineering design process; developed and implement project plans; and practiced professional skills, such as working on teams and communicating technical outcomes effectively. Industry mentors/clients were recruited and provided topics for teams that resulted in three industry, one community-based, and one peer-mentor project. An electronic platform (EduSourced) was implemented for external mentors, in addition to the university blackboard system (Canvas) for internal use to grade assignments and monitor progress. Students were assigned teams via project bidding through EduSourced and were selected for projects based upon their project bidding interest, availability, and other demographics. An outline and description of course activities will be presented with individual team project results. In addition, the implementation of the EduSourced educational software for use by external mentors/clients will be discussed.
