Introduction Higher education institutions in Taiwan have been trying to respond to a variety ofinbound pressures (political, economic, social, technological, etc.) and transform themselvesto a more agile entity to serve students’ needs, including learning, living, and partnership.Universities need to be more concerned about how well the students are prepared to get intothe global
work; team processes and decision-making; ethical reasoning, constitution, and processes; engineering design; technology and its impacts on organizational and personal life; network analysis; as well as organizational identity, identification, and culture.Dr. Carla B. Zoltowski, Purdue University, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Carla B. Zoltowski is an assistant professor of engineering practice in the Schools of Electrical and Com- puter Engineering and (by courtesy) Engineering Education at Purdue University. She holds a B.S.E.E., M.S.E.E., and Ph.D. in Engineering Education, all from Purdue. Prior to this she was Co-Director of the EPICS Program at Purdue where she was responsible for developing curriculum
to develop theirindependent design projects and create prototypes of the products they are working tocommercialize.Collectively this set of factors has increased student desires to access technology that supportshands-on work within and beyond the curriculum. Combined with these factors, the MakerMovement has also influenced engineering design education and, in some cases, accelerated aculture shift on college campuses. That culture is one that promotes hands-on learning, is open Page 26.138.4to new ideas, welcomes diversity within problem-solving teams, shares techniques and results,values teamwork, and is multi-disciplinary.

theability of an engineer to undertake good sketches. The sketch as a means ofcommunication cannot be underestimated. More often than not, most great ideas, insightsand general ‘eureka’ moments occur when computers are not readily available. Theinteraction one can have with others over a sketch is also hard to beat. The informationdensity in a sketch also far surpasses that of the written word, the old adage ‘a picture isworth a thousand words’ still stands true today. The sketch also, by its very informality,encourages others to contribute to its development and the use of a pencil generally formsno technological barriers. All in all, it remains a tremendous tool for design and so shouldcommandeer its fair share of a design course’s allotted time

This paperexamines how abbreviated personas can be powerful design tools for engineering students andmultidisciplinary teams by facilitating discussion on emotional design, reducing personal biasesand stereotypes, and providing a common design language for team members from differentdomains.Background and Literature ReviewAlan Cooper introduced engineers to the idea of using personas for design by presenting them asan archetypal user specifically focused on Human Computer Interface (HCI) in 1998 [6]. In aneffort to understand why supposedly useful, new technology drives us crazy and help design new“tech” products that the average person can use and enjoy, Cooper illuminated a path thatwelcomes more than software developers

of learning engineering design, we have developed a new method ofteaching engineering design which covers most aspects of a design. The new method fits into afour- semester design course series. The new method uses project-based learning and alsoaddresses the issue of having students from multiple upperclass levels on one team.1. IntroductionDesign is an important part of the engineering curricula not only in the eyes of industry but alsothe Accreditation Board of Engineers and Technology (ABET) 1, 2, therefore special attention hasbeen given to design courses at engineering colleges across the nation and worldwide. In designcourses, students integrate and apply their knowledge to design products or to address problems.The design process

Students also cameto their projects with unique motivations. Anne and Cassie wanted to help people. Ellen andRalph were interested in developing new products and technology that aligned with personalinterests. Don and Brian strived for personal success. Leslie and Zachery wanted to contributestrong engineering work.These individual differences were evident in a number of variations on the key themes.

This paper examines these distinctions in the context of mechanicalengineering students designing in a project-based learning course at Stanford University. Byqualitatively analyzing and plotting student teams’ prototyping activities, the students’ workpatterns can generally be assessed along a framework of Ambidextrous Ways of Thinking.IntroductionInnovation is a difficult challenge.
