method of engineering as a purposeful and systematic practice for innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsible leadership driven by an innovation ethic for betterment that is responsive to real-world needs. Whereas strategic directed scientific research that is often necessary to gain a better understanding of physical phenomena is frequently required during the purposeful, systematic technology development process, scientific research is not the primary driver. Creative engineering practice requires proactive responsible leadership beginning with the identification of meaningful real-world needs. During the creative technology development process, however

For eachoffering, 3 teams of between 3-5 students were selected.Course outcomes include being able to: • Understand and experience selected elements of the product realization process. • Demonstrate that students can function effectively on multidisciplinary teams. • Develop a complete business plan for the introduction of a new product. • Have a demonstrated understanding of intellectual property and ethical issues associated with new product

Ethics, product liability related to design practice.Developing Shared Design and Teaching ToolsTo use the base set of lecture materials and Capstone Design Manual, some web-based tools have beendeveloped. Others recognized as useful will be developed in the near future. The developed teaching anddesign tools include a design case library, a tolerance/fits specification tool, an optimization subroutinelibrary, a cam-follower modeling and dynamic simulation tool, and a tolerance stack analysis tool.

Benefits to many of the undergraduate students of participating in the research activities isthat they have been able to develop synergies between their research assignments and some oftheir course related activities (e.g., term papers / projects). Other benefits and outcomes of theefforts of including undergraduate and high school students in research activities include thefollowing: build confidence and self esteem encouragement to continue their education and pursue higher education (retention and recruitment) develop a good work ethic and professionalism develop a sense of

During the first semester some limited laboratory andmaterial resources are also made available so students may experiment with unfamiliardevices or systems to better understand their applicability to their project. At the end ofthe first semester, each student team produces a design document that includes acomplete conceptual description of their project, a proposed timetable for completion, alist of resources and sections that addresses any potential safety, ethics or ecologicalissues

identified, bothby the instructors themselves, and by reviewing feedback from student questionnaires. Itwas a clear reminder that we were learning as we went. The most glaring issue was thesheer magnitude of the workload required for the EE3730 students when this interactiveelement was added to an already packed course. Most of the students enjoyed and valuedthe experience, but complained, some vehemently, that it was simply too much. Evenbefore attempting this, Don Bowie had expanded content of the course by including morenon-technical topics of the engineering profession like management of self, effectivecommunication, relationships with others, design methodology, decision economics,career planning, leadership, and ethics.

environment because of more clearance thatallows the operator to move freely in the area. Also, before the redesign, the direction of therelative height for which the operation tables were designed was part of the problem. This hasnow been eliminated in the redesign and hence provided better reach. Flooring at the area wasdesigned to be adjustable. This flexibility is designed to accommodate shorter workers andreduce cumulative trauma disorder.Overall, the work ethics have improved and workers are more productive. Quality of productthat was neglected in the past because of efforts to meet daily production quota has nowimproved. Workers do not have to exert additional effort to achieve this goal and they don’thave to be shoveled between jobs.A
