<span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Through our stakeholder meeting, we have understood that some departments won't give up their requirements when dealing with Senior Design, specially the engineering departments. However, we talked about the possibility of creating indepedent teams in different colleges when students start their senior year or project. Then, the goal was to create a link or collaboration between those groups and develop a company model between them. For example, we talked about the possibility about creating a group of aerospace engineers who will be in charge of the airplane design, electrical engineers about the circuits required, mechanical engineers dealing with engines, business to create a business model or marketing to investigate if there will be a profit, art and communication majors to create the brand, visual design and publicity. The combinations are limitless.</span>

However, lack of opportunities often leaves students wanting more interactions than they get. One way we can change this is by allowing students the opportunity to involve employers in their senior design project. While some colleges already incorporate this idea, it is limited to specific colleges and few employers. Connecting employers with students provides benefits to both side. Students have the chance to obtain real world experience with employers and the problems they face. Employers then have the opportunity to utilize a senior design team to help them resolve an issue within their company. Allowing students and employers to work side by side in senior design projects would help prepare students for their future. </span></span>
