theability of an engineer to undertake good sketches. The sketch as a means ofcommunication cannot be underestimated. More often than not, most great ideas, insightsand general ‘eureka’ moments occur when computers are not readily available. Theinteraction one can have with others over a sketch is also hard to beat. The informationdensity in a sketch also far surpasses that of the written word, the old adage ‘a picture isworth a thousand words’ still stands true today. The sketch also, by its very informality,encourages others to contribute to its development and the use of a pencil generally formsno technological barriers. All in all, it remains a tremendous tool for design and so shouldcommandeer its fair share of a design course’s allotted time

For the 800 million people who go hungry each day and the one billion who lack access to clean water, poverty is an absence of opportunity. Engineers Without Borders is responding to this urgent need, helping people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve their lives.

forEngineering and Technology) Criterion 4 implicitly specifies creativity as follows: “Theengineering sciences have their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledgefurther toward creative application. These studies provide a bridge between mathematics andbasic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other.” Once more explicitstandards for creativity are developed by ABET, Smith11 proposes that senior engineeringstudents could be taught TRIZ during the capstone project stage of their education. However,ideally the capstone course should only be a demonstration of previous learning. So, it may bemore desirable to teach creativity prior to the capstone and perhaps even in several differentcourses to reinforce the

The answer to the question is acritical one, particularly as universities begin to incorporate more broad-based core curricula intotheir academic programs in order to produce graduates equipped to meet the challenges of anincreasingly technologically oriented world.2 The overarching goal of the United States MilitaryAcademy’s academic program is to enable its graduates to anticipate and respond effectively tothe uncertainties of a changing technological, social, political, and economic world. To this end,graduates are expected to demonstrate proficiency in six key domains: • Engineering and Technology • Math and Science • Information Technology • History

Although general safety guidelines are consistent across mostsituations and environments, the technical skills associated with laboratory specific tools are not.Even when technical based videos were consulted, the tools used would have different featuresand details than those found in the design laboratories. According to Heath7, the fact that thetools were different would decrease the relevance to the students, and therefore the effectivenessof the learning process.To address the lack of appropriate media content for the training process, a tool training videowas developed and produced in the design laboratories.
