Transdisciplinary Engineering Design Process: Tracing Design Similarities through Comparison of Design Stages across Engineering DisciplinesIntroduction The integration of technology into contemporary product development practices hastransformed the engineering design process from disciplinary [1-3] to transdisciplinary. Thisintegration requires discipline experts to share technologies and knowledge beyond theirtraditional boundaries to design and create an artifact, thus resulting in a transdisciplinary designprocess. A transdisciplinary design process is a problem-solving activity that brings together,scientific knowledge and problem-solving techniques from multiple disciplines to solve acomplex problem [4].

For the 800 million people who go hungry each day and the one billion who lack access to clean water, poverty is an absence of opportunity. Engineers Without Borders is responding to this urgent need, helping people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve their lives. We believe that technology, when appropriately incorporated into each community's social, cultural, economic and political context, can drive extraordinary change.The focus of EWB is on developing the technical capacity at the local level in developingcountries to ensure that innovative

Thestudents were given writing assignments in which they reflected on the human implications ofdesign. Another example can be found in a team-based capstone design project in which thewiki was used to document social knowledge and assess group performance9. A third example isa student-written online textbook5. In a senior level chemical engineering process controlscourse, an open-source text was written, edited, and reviewed by the students to allow them tolearn the course content though teaching it.This paper describes the use of a

These studies provide a bridge between mathematics andbasic sciences on the one hand and engineering practice on the other.” Once more explicitstandards for creativity are developed by ABET, Smith11 proposes that senior engineeringstudents could be taught TRIZ during the capstone project stage of their education. However,ideally the capstone course should only be a demonstration of previous learning. So, it may bemore desirable to teach creativity prior to the capstone and perhaps even in several differentcourses to reinforce the

One practical reason is that ABET general engineeringcriteria target the social aspects of engineering education at several levels. In addition to criterion3(c), “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,” criterion 3(d)addresses the need to function on multidisciplinary teams, criterion 3(f) social and ethicalresponsibilities, criterion 3(g) communication skills, and criterion (h) addresses global and socialimpact.
