to teach in a particular course structure andresources for laboratories, are examples of factors which demand fewer staff-student contacthours and less practical (hands-on) learning experiences. On the other hand: (a) the continuousexpansion of the content to be covered (with a soaring number of new topics and techniquesbrought into the curriculum); (b) the flexibility of the curriculum and options to be madeavailable to students and (c) also a more student-centered approach being recommended in highereducation requiring more staff time and more physical resources to run courses. Coursedevelopers are consequently responsible for designing a structure which takes account of bothsets of pressures. They are also urged to change the pedagogical

All of which are critical skills in engineering [6], [9].

Students were guided in structured tutorials, group discussions, andcomputer-mediated interactions.

Internships andcooperative opportunities (although the latter are not discussed in this paper) have long beenlauded as a meaningful practice for increasing student retention in computer science andengineering [14]. In fact, some research has found that a single internship experience cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation or choosing another field[15]. Generally, these experiences are representative of what a student might be doing in thefield as they learn the various tools, practices, and workflows of industry.

Why not introduce design earlier in engineering curricula?
