ProjectsAbstractIn this paper, the use of impromptu design as a tool for introducing the engineering designprocess is discussed. In a typical impromptu design exercise, a simple design problem, capableof being completed in a short amount of time, is solved by teams of engineering students. Insolving the design task, the students organically progress through the engineering design process.This provides a unique opportunity to introduce beginning engineering students to the designprocess and to reinforce engineering design concepts for more senior students. This paperfocuses on the development of impromptu design projects, the use of this activity to introducethe engineering design process, and thoughts and observations gained over three years of usingthis

We suggest in conclusion that though project G in its currentform would not yet be suitable for a senior design capstone project, it would be a verygood example for a multi-disciplinary engineering design project.BackgroundIn the summer of 2005, nine students served as camp counselors for the Introduction toEngineering Program1 (IEP) at the University of Notre Dame 2. IEP is a summerengineering camp for high school students who have just completed their junior year.There are two sessions of three weeks each.

Four industry partners wereinterviewed in the beginning, middle and end of two project-based courses (and one industrypartner once) to track what value they expected from the course and what value theyperceived to be delivered. The thirteen in-depth interviews averaged 50 minutes, were audio-recorded and transcribed for analysis.Based on the qualitative analysis, the motivation to take part as a sponsor in these project-based courses initially centered around new innovative products.

; engineering design decisions are consequential for the design and how it performsupon implementation. To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting. Typically,explicit instruction related to decision making includes an introduction to rationalistic tools, suchas decision

This caused project teams to start their second semester effortsbehind schedule. By the end of the second semester, about 28% of all

In particular, team-based designprojects (cornerstone, capstone, or discipline specific) are ideal candidates as they requireeffective teamwork to facilitate the development of an optimal design solution. The toolcomprises four areas where students can engage in learning from their team experience. Theseareas allow students to: • self-reflect and provide feedback on their teammates • review the feedback they have received • access tools and techniques to improve their understanding of team-effectiveness • engage in exercises to practice their team-effectiveness competenciesThis section outlines our proposed method of integrating this learning tool into a course and itsteam-based project.
