Remember this is a short 6 week project meant to inspire students to study engineering. They don't need to be engineers out of high school, just pointed in the right direction.
Engineers aren't around to design mechanical systems, or to create software packages. Engineers exist to solve problems. High level problem solving is still problem solving, isn't it?
