It can,however, be one of the most challenging classes to teach as it ventures far off the traditionallecture and lab format that students are accustomed to. As engineering educators, we thereforewant to optimize the process such that our students get the most out of the experience

Yet, the philosophical underpinnings and pedagogicalgoals of a computing course are often nebulous. Should the course lean toward anadvanced engineering mathematics course (e.g. linear algebra

Appendix. Currently available solutions can becategorized using these dimensions and new ideas can be developed by applying theprinciple of the dimension to the problem at hand. Not every problem has a solution inevery dimension (or at least not one that is readily determined), and some dimensionsmay have more than one solution. Due to the somewhat different nature of purelybiological problems and solutions to those typical of engineering-type problems, somedimensions do not apply or require further sub-sections for clear classifications. Thisprocess of using the 8D methodology is a way to quickly find a great number of solutionswhile allowing “open-minded” thinking
