The hope is that the analyses will spur refinement andstimulate additional program startups. The three universities contributing to this paper are: • Purdue University, a mid-western land grant institution in the USA, has developed and gained both institutional and state approval to offer such a doctorate. In securing such approval, an extensive needs assessment was conducted, and this was followed by a soft- start pilot program. Subsequent to these two activities, a proper first cohort was recruited and

Two consecutive laboratory sections werededicated to the project, and teaching assistants supervised additional open laboratory hours toprovide students with more time to complete the IDE project.MethodsStudy Context. The setting for this study was the first mechanical engineering design coursetaken by all mechanical engineering majors at a mid-sized (ca. 160 students/year), ABET-accredited program at a land grant university in the mid-Atlantic United States. The timing ofthis study was such that it coincided with a pre-planned change in the undergraduate
