Second, students felt an introductory courseshould use narrow design parameters that would focus their attention on the basic skills of videogame development.

Should students be allowed to choose their own groups, or should instructors assign theteams directly? If groups are assigned, how should the students be divided among the teams?This project seeks to provide insight into these questions.ME450, a course which provides a capstone design experience to senior non-engineering majorsat the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, is structured around three team-based engineeringdesign projects, or EDPs.

While guidance fromprofessors with industry experience and teaching techniques such as project-based and servicelearning are common approaches to supporting student preparation, there is continued need fordesign education to include a focus on the development of skills to support communicationacross disciplinary and team boundaries (e.g., shared language and clarity of narrative). Theseskills, which are frequently thought of as non-engineering work, are as critical to the completionof cross-disciplinary projects as skills associated with conventional engineering design work(i.e., design and technical practices). As a result, a multiple case study was designed to explorethe practices of

This may result from the ready availability of educationalmachine shops and familiarity with those manufacturing processes. Machined parts are oftenrelatively expensive in production and geometrically simple. In addition to their value in DFXeducation, problems like these may help students develop visualization skill with complex 3-Dparts and assemblies, or lead them to consider using additive manufacturing processes moreoften in design.GradingGood conceptual design practice calls for the generation of many alternative ideas, and someauthors believe criticism can discourage this activity.
