Students work in teams to collaboratively collectinformation, define and analyze the problems, and seek the effective solution. Instead offollowing faculty member’s instruction to passively complete the model design, students have anopportunity to apply the skills they learned in class to solve the real-world problem, and to thinkas an engineer. IGL introduced a greater level of excitement and enthusiasm by allowingstudents to explore the topics of personal interest to themselves

It begins with an idea for a product andproceeds through market analysis, specifications, design and a final prototype. The second classis Advanced Product Design it uses a similar project centered class generally starting at theprototype stage and continuing towards a ready for mass production design.

The engineering design process(EDP) is a decision-making process, often iterative, in which basic science, math, andengineering concepts are applied to develop optimal solutions to meet an established objective.Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the development of objectives andcriteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing, and evaluation. Teachers can easilyincorporate the EDP into existing classroom projects or activities and it can also provide aframework for developing new curriculum modules.
