First, the results presented here are based on the analysis of students from a single coursewithin a multidisciplinary engineering department at a large, public institution. Additionalresearch of other engineering disciplines, senior design experiences, and at other institutionscould further enrich the results. Within the data collection design, the activities provided tostudents use terminology viewed as accessible to students; however, the results may be limitedbased on students’ interpretation of this terminology. This instrument was also not explicitlydesigned to explore iteration exclusively, as a result, it is possible that some students’perceptions were

or fulfill a purpose in the most efficient manner possible.”2 “My definition of engineering design has changed as a result of our group and class discussion during the tutorial. While I still believe that at its core, engineering design is the process by which engineers analyze problems and come up with solutions that are feasible economically, efficient, and safe, I have added some side notes to my definition. I believe there are other considerations engineers must keep in mind while designing products. The aesthetics and elegance of the design are also important. In addition, the product should provide some level of innovation. This could be coming up with an altogether new product or simply improving
BracketEngineering DrawingsAs stated earlier, both groups of students were able to generate solid models as part of the designprocess. When it came time to generate a set of engineering drawings, such as the assemblydrawing shown in Figure 8, the ME students failed to produce them. A complete set ofengineering drawings is a required element of the design report. It quickly became clear that theME students simply did not have an understanding of what was required, that a set ofengineering drawings need to be fully dimensioned, including the bill of materials, specificationof processes (e.g. heat treatment), etc. The ME students were also unfamiliar with assigningcritical dimensions with the design and function of the part in mind. They also did not seem

With this in mind, the first set of seven design projects was developed inconjunction with Engineers Without Borders (Canada). These projects involved relatively low-tech engineering solutions that would benefit disadvantaged communities in developingcountries. The remote setting also emphasized the importance of understanding the conceptualside of design. Students were required to understand the client needs, opportunities, and benefitsand make realistic conclusions about the cost, feasibility, and impact on the community.In previous years, during the second

team-related skills so crucial to success in thisincreasingly interconnected world [1].Daniel Pink, in his influential book, A Whole New Mind [2], uses a left/right brain metaphor toargue that it is no longer enough for our economic survival to be left brain dominant (e.g., linear,logical thinkers). Rather, in order to thrive in today’s increasingly globalized economy, bothindividuals and companies must also strive to be more creative, emotionally intelligent,empathic, and intuitive. Using both sides of the brain in a balanced way is essential to thedevelopment of the well-rounded engineers and designers that our society will need for futureprosperity.Similarly, the engineering quality revolution mantra from 25 years ago, “increase quality
thinking is essential to the futuresuccess of these engineering graduates. Design thinking focuses on people and their need forpositive product experiences and less on technology. The introduction of design thinking willenable students to explore new, meaningful, and innovative ideas in a human-centered way.Design thinking will enable students to develop a more strategic approach to solving problems ininterdisciplinary partnerships and in the process develop leadership qualities.The aim of the core course for the program is to broaden the minds of its participants so thatwhen they graduate they will be able to increase the value of any design project presented tothem beyond the original scope and of the project as presented to them by a client

First, the engineering design process is discussed as adistinct two stage procedure involving (a) architectural design, and (b) subsystem design. Thesteps in these two stages are articulated and examined. Innovative aspects of the engineeringdesign process are then discussed in terms of some of the ways of “thinking outside the box

The display of adaptive expertise has been said to "ultimatelylead to students' depth of knowledge and habits of mind that lead to success in their career andenable them to be innovators in the field" [2]. For this reason, it is important for educators andscholars to explore how we can better prepare our students to showcase adaptive expertise. It isequally important to assess the effectiveness of our attempts at facilitating this development.Think-a-louds, [3] interviews [1], and self-report surveys [4] [1] [5][6] [7] have all been used tomeasure adaptive expertise
