of learning engineering design, we have developed a new method ofteaching engineering design which covers most aspects of a design. The new method fits into afour- semester design course series. The new method uses project-based learning and alsoaddresses the issue of having students from multiple upperclass levels on one team.1. IntroductionDesign is an important part of the engineering curricula not only in the eyes of industry but alsothe Accreditation Board of Engineers and Technology (ABET) 1, 2, therefore special attention hasbeen given to design courses at engineering colleges across the nation and worldwide. In designcourses, students integrate and apply their knowledge to design products or to address problems.The design process

In this paper, we describe the salient features of AME5740 Designing for Open Innovation and our initial findings from the study. 1 Frame of reference With increasing globalization and 21st century trends such as the commoditization of technology, individuals are required to continuously refresh and adapt their competencies and keep their knowledge current. It is well documented that the changing environment and the diverse learning needs of individuals demand a change in the existing paradigm of engineering education. What is needed is a more flexible, learner-centric paradigm

courses increases, this distinctive feature iseroded if traditional teaching methods are used in such courses. Blended learning offers anopportunity to maintain or improve the personal attention that a student receives, be it throughfeedback to students from instructors, interaction between students, or interaction betweenstudents and faculty.Preliminary results from this study, in which several blended learning technologies were appliedto a methodology-oriented sophomore course in systems engineering, indicate that students feltthat they learned more and that the course was more worthwhile than four prior offerings of thecourse. In end-of-course survey questions, students also cite that the technologies used enhancedface-to-face interaction with
modules shown inTable 1. These topics are offered through an internet based course open to engineering, science,and management undergraduate and graduate students.In addition to providing students with the environmentally conscious perspective, the developedmaterials aims at developing students’ economic, managerial, ethical, scientific, and engineeringskills for critically examining environmental issues in product design andmanufacturing. Emphasis is placed on engineering alternatives for reducing costs and improvingenvironmental performance13.
