We chose to structure the second level VCPs around course areasrather than cross-curricular pedagogical themes (e. g., project-based instruction, teaming andcooperative learning, teaching thorough design, service learning) because we believe that facultymembers would be more interested and committed to “their courses” and that communitieswould develop more naturally.

That is, does the prototype exemplar cause novicedesigners to fixate on particular design features thereby limiting creativity or does it help them toimprove the performance of their designs?The concept of designers fixating on particular design features is not new to the study ofengineering design.

the purpose of major advising is to assist the student intheir journey from high school graduate to competent entry-level technical professional. Theexemplar advisor engages in dialogue with the student, providing a perspective of the academicprogram as a process of socialization into the profession, rather than a series of disconnectedcourse requirements.In other words, the advisor’s job is to help the students understand what it means to be anengineer. Rather than relegating the professional issues to the capstone project or the internship,it is the goal of the advisor to facilitate the student’s learning about what is the role of anengineer in society, why is the entire curriculum necessary to produce the kind of engineer theinstitution is
