• Resumen

  • Villanova Electrical and Computer Engineering students have been working with students from Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria (UNI’s) faculty of electrical, electronic and computer engineering student for the last four years on joint senior design projects. The students at each institution takes a common, jointly taught, two course sequence focused on developing a technical proposal for their design projects and on developing sustainable business models for their products. We have previously presented a description on this two course sequence with some preliminary results of this initiative [1]. In this paper we provide an update on the progress of this course. We describe several more examples of projects that have been developed in the last two years and how some of the challenges previously faced have been overcome.
