Decision Process

Based on Feedback
– AE generated more high school student interest
– PEIPS more interest from undergraduates and
community college students
– Industry professionals found PEIPS graduates
most fitting in R&D departments
– Industry found need for better communication
skills in college graduates
We chose…
Prototype Engineering

Design
– User Interface
– Experience
