example, this year each studentgroup developed a robot arm system controlled by a biopotential signal, such as an EMG orEOG, that they acquire from their own body and process. For the fourth design course, eachgroup works on a different project, chosen from a wide variety of project ideas that change fromyear to year.This design program has many benefits. By the time students start their final design project inthe spring of senior year, they already have a number of hands-on experiences in design. Thiselevates the level of what they can accomplish for this project. In addition, since our studentsstart getting experience with equipment in the machine shop in their sophomore year, they are anattractive asset for many research laboratories. Feedback

The discussion will also identify how the “need” for thistype of project based curriculum became obvious. Four prerequisite courses are brieflydescribed before focusing on the project based capstone course. These four coursesprovide the students with the technical skill sets needed to succeed in the senior levelcapstone course. Accomplishments and outcomes from the student perspective, theUniversity perspective, and the industry perspective will also be shared.Our advancing world

This paper outlines our vision and understanding of engineeringdesign and communicates the approach we have taken to defining a Master of EngineeringDesign degree that at the same time is acceptable to the scholarly sensibilities ofengineering faculty and pushes the boundaries of the practice of engineering design. Todevelop the program, we believe that engineering scholarship must extend beyondproblem-solving to include inquiry approaches from the arts and humanities2.The Nature of Engineering DesignMany of the early projects performed by students in the Master of Engineering Designdegree resembled in every way a research Master s
