45 18 27 6 0 11The design project task was to prepare a functional layout design for one of the student spaces inSeaton Hall, housing the BAE department. Eight options were provided, and each student teamin each lab section selected one of these eight spaces (without duplication within a lab section).The selection of was design project spaces was ordered according to a class-determined rankingof the creativity exhibited in the outcome of an in-class team ice-breaking assignment.The objectives of the design project were to (1) engage the student in a problem solving/designprocess, in which s/he identifies a problem, locates relevant information, develops and analyzespossible alternatives, and formulates

assistant attending nearly everymeeting of the class, provided an interesting dynamic. Good software tools are essential for today’s students. The learning curve associatedwith any individual package is difficult. Excel is a platform that is widely used. Studentsshould learn a program such as MATLAB and have it used throughout the curriculum.The ECONET package herein builds off the MATLAB platform and thus is easy tograsp.References CitedAoki, I. 2001.
