Louisville.Case studies tie together technical, ethical, and procedural aspects of engineering and requirestudents to undertake higher order thinking in order to synthesize the relevant issues. Casestudies require students to synthesize the facts and engineering principles they have learned. Amajor objective of the case studies is to expose students to some aspects of the modern practiceof engineering, namely: teamwork, problem and data analysis, design creation, presentation anddefense of a designed solution, and professional ethics. In the fabric of a first year course, wherestudents do not have existing engineering principles to build upon, case studies help introducethe engineering profession, teamwork, critical thinking, and presentation of

It is inour own self-interest to assert our ethical values and our talents as citizen architects.” [5] Theproject in its current state was clearly disengaging students from reality, culture, and the truerichness of designing to exist and engage within a project’s community.
