Mind the gapThe call for more design experience in engineering curricula draws attention to a problem indesign education that engineering educators have noted for quite some time. Traditionalengineering programs lack curricular coherence when it comes to design. Students typicallyhave design experiences during introductory coursework (or “cornerstone” courses2) as freshmenand then again later as seniors during capstone projects or seminars.
