It has been structured to assist students develop teamskills such as decision making, project management, communication and collaboration while experiencingthe use of fundamental engineering design skills. This paper describes the components and operation of
development and evaluation of criteria used to compare these twoapproaches to a freshman design experience. Using the Canadian Engineering AccreditationBoard (CEAB) Graduate Attributes criteria and drawing from the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) Initiative as the basis for evaluation, a detailed analysis of the strengths andweaknesses of the two design courses in terms of learning outcomes is explored.IntroductionAs technology continues to advance, it becomes increasingly important for engineering graduatesto have strong design skills, in order to meet the widely varied requirements of industry1. Whilecapstone projects provide senior engineering students with the opportunity to apply their designskills in a large-scale setting, it is first
and design in the arts. Themes related toscience and engineering were preferred but were not mandatory. A public exhibition of studentworks was held at the end of the course, and it was reported that many of the studentsappreciated the chance to experience the process of design and creation outside their field.Ottino [15] offers an interesting perspective on the intersection of art and engineering, notingthat “engineers equate art with paintings, photographs, and sculptures, and leave out conceptualart, installations, and much more. Artists equate engineering with technology and not with thehuman factors and passions that animate it.” He goes on to suggest that engineers “and artistscan connect through the need to make things, rather than
institutions as a team processwith socio-technological dimensions. (13) One practical reason is that ABET general engineeringcriteria target the social aspects of engineering education at several levels. In addition to criterion3(c), “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,” criterion 3(d)addresses the need to function on multidisciplinary teams, criterion 3(f) social and ethicalresponsibilities, criterion 3(g) communication skills, and criterion 3(h) addresses global andsocial impact. Constructivist theories of learning, irrespective of the subject matter, recognizethat learning is a social activity, and design-based courses, including project-based courses, areregarded by most as opportunities to improve students

A Toy-FUN-damentals first-year seminar course has been taught at the UniversityPark campus, and it has ‘proven to increase retention of women in the College ofEngineering’. At the Abington campus, we have developed a modified version of thiscourse, using Power Wheels® cars to illustrate engineering principles.

problem is solved. It is acomplex process that depends on and influences students’ understanding about themselves asthinkers and learners, and usually precedes and follows cognitive activity. Butler found that astudent’s understanding of a learning activity is grounded in productive metacognition abouttasks associated with students’ thoughtful planning, self-monitoring, and selection of appropriatestrategies to accomplish task objectives [1]. Metacognitive skill plays a particularly critical rolein real-life or open-ended tasks, such as solving ill-structured design problems.Metacognition is critical to the self-evaluation of one’s knowledge and abilities [2], which isessential in mathematics [3, 4], science [5, 6], technology [7, 8], engineering

further studies and analysis.The reverse engineering process starts with tearing down an existing product to explore thephysical principles behind it, to gather the technical data for documentation of the observationsmade by the researcher and the operation of a technology or components of a system. Since thedesign process course in our engineering school heavily emphasizes involving the students inhands-on learning activities, it helps them to understand the theoretical rationales behind theengineering design process. Our engineering students are introduced to the concepts of reverseengineering through a series of hands-on experiences of real-world products.
