student’s undergraduate career, ABET requires a majordesign experience which uses knowledge and skills learned in previous courses and involvesapplication of engineering standards and handling of multiple constraints. Typically, this isaccomplished in a capstone (senior) design course or course sequence [1].In the two-semester engineering capstone course sequence at the University of Texas at Dallas(UTD), we provide students with the opportunity for “real world” experience [2] throughpartnerships with companies which sponsor projects. During the first semester, students focus onthe project definition and design phases and attend weekly lectures while the second semesterprimarily consists of prototype fabrication and testing.

PBL features hands on learningwith the goal of longer retention of the desired learning outcomes. PBL activities candemonstrate increased performance compared to a traditional classroom setting. Barlow statesthat soft skills typically not learned through passive learning are developed and honed throughPBL (2011).Spiral learning (SL) adds to the value of PBL by introducing concepts at various points.

In other words, engineering design acts as abridge that smoothly connects between liberal arts and engineering education. Most liberal artsuniversities expose freshmen to engineering design in their first year. On the one hand, first-yearstudents in general lack a clear understanding of the engineering profession and its differentdisciplines. Students are vulnerable to pursuing majors that diverge from their career

It could thus be argued that an improvedunderstanding of external impacts from this type of oversight may better prepare students forprofessional careers. On the other hand, the students generally believed that the aesthetics andlearnability (i.e., ease of use) of a potential product for the given scenario should be more highlyprioritized than the practitioners, an unexpected outcome that will require additionalinvestigation.

The costs to thecollege are as high as the rewards. Sustainability of the program is probably the biggestchallenge we face going forward.

Not only will this allow for refinementof the selection criteria for such programs, but it will also serve to inform those who areeducating and advising potential applicants for these types of programs.

product is essential for producing a successful design. The best way to appreciate that fact at an early stage in your career is to manufacture a design yourself. The lessons to be learned are universal. Don’t expect your design to work on the first try. Leave a lot of time for testing. Complicated designs take a lot longer to build and have a lower probability of success. If you have a choice of manufacturing a part yourself or buying it, buy it.” [48, p. 311]Other references have worked on providing algorithmic ways to approach creativity in design;e.g. [49].
