The constraint partition is an act ofdivision and multiplication. The constraint revision leads to unification and the constraintintroduction may break symmetry.Both TRIZ and ASIT have been criticized due to the significant time required to master themethods. Furthermore, a sophisticated product which requires investigation will not be easilygenerated by either TRIZ or ASIT. On the other hand, knowledge-based creative design toolsaim to accumulate, formulate and manage knowledge so that the knowledge is easily extractedand clearly presented for problem solving.

Alongside this poster presentation, students certainly garner the ability for improvingpublic speaking and professional skills a good engineer should practice.Identification of Multidisciplinary Engineering Components This freshman mini project focuses on many fundamental skillsets any engineer shouldhave regardless of their engineering discipline. These important skillsets which any engineershould master includes understanding the use of mathematical

Under thepressure of increased demand for an affordable well-regarded education in engineering, and as aresult of a retention study, the GSOE gradually raised its admissions criteria, starting in fall of2006. After an initial drop in enrollment, present enrollment levels are almost back to fall 2004levels. Retention and graduation rates have improved significantly, to the point that at present itis a challenge to meet the demand for upper level engineering courses.Table 1 shows the numbers of new entrants and total enrollment in the Grove School

Integration of the curriculum begins by identifying commonfoundational themes within and between courses, and highlighting these to students as the topicalcoverage warrants. Deliberate integration of the curriculum is accomplished by not onlyidentifying the foundational themes through conceptual abstraction, but also, by design ofcommon exemplars. Reinforcing these concepts through recurring common examples helps thestudent better understand and master these concepts while simultaneously understanding thelinkages between courses.While many foundational concepts and threads can be identified within the electrical engineeringdiscipline, we have selected one example

The collaboratingalso prevents the task from becoming one that the mentor forces upon the mentee.When the mentor explores the mentee’s representation of knowledge, the mentee’s intelligenceand value are directly acknowledged. Acknowledging the mentee further builds trust andopenness in the interactions. Enabling the mentee to build on and refine his or her representationfurther reinforces trust. All of these ways of showing respect for the mentee’s intelligence areconducive to high-level achievement against difficult challenges

Others have reported this as well (Seat, 1999).An important distinction between VITDP and more typical in-class projects is the exposure to allelements of design and teamwork including those beyond their immediate competency. Studentssee the overall, ‘big-picture’ by participating in the project each year, but they will comprehendmore and more aspects with repeated exposure.
