usability, and ethics; and producing effective writing in ashort time period. This paper describes a new design project implemented in Fall 2015 as analternative to a project implemented in Fall 2005.Course History Since 2004In Fall 2004, students worked in teams on a semester-long design project, in which they designeda crane to lift the heaviest weight with the least amount of building material in the crane4. Whilethe project had many successes, faculty observed that students did not quantitatively analyzedesign alternatives and chose a final design with only qualitative justification5. As a result, inFall 2005, the sequence of design projects given to students was modified to include a simpler,four-week startup project that involved building and
