Guest lectures, laboratory experiments and fun exercises were also included to helpstimulate creativity and build team esprit de corps. A pre-class questionnaire was created andadministered to ascertain the self-perceived creativity quotient of the students and to alsodetermine the various levels of experience and discipline expertise. This was used to pre-determine teams and, thus, ensure diversity as well as to equally distribute key skills necessary toaddress the course problem/challenge. The faculty team decided on an “ice breaker” that wasrelated to the actual problem. The students were introduced to each other during

They also maintained electronicdesign logs of their electronic communications, drawings, and design ideas. These electronicartifacts were the main avenues of communication between UNICAMP and Pitt students. Inaddition, students conducted their design activities in a special design laboratory, which recordedthe design processes in video and audio format (with the students’ consent and according to IRBguidelines).The teams then refined their designs during a weeklong visit to Brazil in early March.

The completed prosthetic limb model was then imported into ANSYS for finite elementanalysis (FEA) of stress and deformation under static load conditions similar to those applied inreal life. A separate buckling analysis was performed on the pylon model in ANSYS. Once theFEA results demonstrated the stress and deformation were within acceptable limits, a prototypewas built. The built prototype was then subjected to static load testing in the laboratory to ensurethe prosthetic limb could sustain the weight of the client. The prototype, including the designedfoot and pylon, was then tested on the client. Figure 2 shows the client fitted with thepreliminary prosthetic limb standing on the force

A second recommendation outlines the need for students to makeconnections between theory and practice and to develop the thinking skills required forengineering practice. This requires an inductive, as opposed to a deductive, approach to teachingand learning.The integration of professional identity, knowledge and skills requires that students have anopportunity to experience engineering practice, through so-called approximations to practice.Often this means exposing students to laboratory or design project teaching methods (they aredifferent).

Thus demonstration scores are highest (mean of3.3) for a TRL of 6. This technology readiness level is defined as "Representative model orprototype system, which is well beyond the breadboard tested for TRL 5, tested in a relevantenvironment.
