This paper includes a review ofpractical methods used to incorporate design in various engineering courses. Specific designintegration methods reviewed in the paper include examples of project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, design competitions, case study modules, reverse engineering, and design-basedlearning. Assessments of these methods are qualitative in nature thus the comparisons are alsoqualitative. The goal of this research effort is to provide a brief review of current methods foundin the literature.

In past semesters, the finalproject of the course has been an open-ended design project where students are encouraged tocreate something using the concepts learned throughout the course. However, curricularlimitations as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have forced the final project to bemore narrow in scope the past two semesters. ECE 110 was selected for this study since it is oneof the only courses in the curriculum that (normally) contains an open-ended design project, andalso because a large portion of the students in the course are first

Relying upon an operational definition of creativity and a group of ratersexperienced in a given domain, the CAT offers the field of engineering education an assessmentmethod that has demonstrated discriminant validity for dimensions of creativity as well as fortechnical strength and aesthetic appeal.
