senior year, recenttrends emerged to weave PBL in the first year and throughout the curriculum in semester-long projects.Students are being introduced to design methods, team dynamics and ethics in parallel with the analysis-focused courses (Dym et al., 2005). However, the systematic integration of design and analysis in coursesis still lacking (Carberry & McKenna, 2014). Some of the outstanding research questions about PBL asproposed by Dym et al. (2005) include: “What are the best proportions of problems, projects, teamwork,technology, and reality for a given state of student development,” and “how do the proportions changewith regard to the context of different engineering disciplines and institutional missions?” (p. 112).There are some

. Such conceptual processes of mappinghave been identified by architects and landscape architects as valuable devices for creativeagency and used to reveal abstract qualities of site, an uncovering that becomes a strategic toolenabling innovative approaches to spatial design [31], [35]. Yet such powerful process have notyet been similarly taken advantage of by engineers. Not only could engineers profit from such acreative tool; furthermore the process appears to give greatest support to early stages of creativethinking and to divergent thinking, that phase of creative research for which engineerstraditionally have fewest models [18], [22], [36].Finally, for engineering students, many of whom are more confident with technology than withvisual

This paper also provides direction to the faculty for whichtypes of projects should be pursued for optimal educational benefit and to pinpoint areas thatmight need improvement in project design and implementation.1. IntroductionEngineering design courses provide valuable design experience for engineering students. Thecapstone design courses has gained considerable attention ever since it was found that the studentoutcomes set forth by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) areachievable in this course1 . Although capstone design courses are commonly taught at mostengineering schools, how they are taught and what they include varies widely2. Manysuggestions have been made to improve the

. Often the projects were found to be flawed inso much as they required students to design using technologies that were beyond theircomprehension as first year students. Asking students to design a “writing robot”, whilepotentially a very challenging and interesting task, led to situations where students were unableto generate ideas or alternatives, let alone be able to evaluate the goodness of a given design. Itwas learned that the criteria for projects that would lead to a successful design by first yearengineering course required careful consideration. It may be argued that first year students arenot capable of engineering design but this suggests that engineering is a technology professionthat only deals with complex, highly technical
technology and the profit-maximization of theemployer. This simple scenario intrigued the following two-prong issues for engineeringeducators: 1) what should be the underpinnings/justification of the decision-making process of anengineer? 2) when and in what context should an engineer learn these decision-makingprocesses? Engineers should anchor their decisions on ethical/moral basis, and learn and practicethese ethical-decision-making skills in their early professional development phase.Undergraduate education is one of the first formal places in the professional development of anengineer. Engineering students would be able to far-transfer ethical decision-making skills intheir industry career if they learn and practice in context. Capstone design

. Page 14.1038.2 Rube Goldberg (1883 – 1970) was an engineer turned cartoonist who drew incrediblemachines that completed simple tasks, such as turning off a light switch, in as complex of a wayas possible. His cartoons were meant as a social commentary on how technology to solve simpleproblems is often needlessly complex, but this context provides an excellent context for childrento learn about engineering design. Combining Rube’s ideas with an engineering design processgives students an opportunity to have positive experiences where they have a lot of room toexplore and be creative while still following an engineering design process and understandingthe basic process that engineers go through to design. These positive experiences
