However, ET has a well-establishededucational philosophy and quite a different mission. The proposal to rebrand ET as GeneralEngineering essentially eliminates the existing 4-year B.S.E.T. in over 100 institutions, puts ETfaculty at odds with their teaching philosophy, and adds potentially 6,000+ graduates with aweakened job prospect to the General Engineering supply. Second, while it is well known that engineering programs became much more science-based in the years following the 1955 Grinter Report3,4, contrary to science degrees bothengineering and ET degrees are already deemed to be applied.

First, we survey the current literature on design methods (SectionII). We then present an analysis of exemplary case studies and identify some emerging themes(Section III) to provide initial elements of the framework (Sections IV).

Quality supervising, training, andmentoring of undergraduate researchers often require a significant time commitment that is notgenerally recognized in teaching loads.21 While many academics view research and teaching ascomplementary, the faculty reward system at research intensive institutions is driven first byresearch and second by teaching.16,22 Thus, faculty may perceive that time devoted to working

InterfaceIntroductionFor students to succeed in engineering design (and engineering practice) they must be able tomake design decisions that are grounded in data and analysis. The potential danger, however, inintroducing analysis and calculations too early in the design process is that this may lead thedesigner to become “fixated” on the current design idea and not explore other, potentially betterideas1, 2. This can be problematic as engineering education endeavors to teach students to bemore innovative. Thus, while it is important to teach students how to support their designdecisions with analysis, it is likewise important to help them engage in analysis without leadingto limited exploration of alternative ideas. The overarching goal of this project is to

create a breadth-first introductory course to motivate and inspire the students to dig deeper into topics they will see later in the curriculum. Through early exposure to a broad set of knowledge and simulation/laboratory techniques, students can begin to develop intellectual curiosity and intuition about how electrical and computer systems work and, in the process, see the fun and excitement in electrical and computer engineering. This paper delves into the development of the course, from the determination of the goals through the implementation of the course structure and teaching philosophy. The paper concludes with an analysis of student feedback.1.0 IntroductionA lesser known corollary to Murphy’s Law for Engineers states
