stage. In the course, these process stages and visual steps are used tostructure and facilitate a semester long, student-directed, teacher-facilitated design project inwhich students are asked to design an innovative, inventive, or inspirational idea. Students arefree to choose a project focus in their area of interest. Students in the Digital Media program tendto choose topics such as: character, product, and game design, and architectural, interior, andenvironmental visualization. Self motivation, individuation, and actualization are pedagogicaldrivers that dramatically improve the students’ work ethic and academic performance.ScopeThe scope of this paper is intended to provide an outline of a design process and to describevisual thinking

Three Examples of IDEA design projects.Pedagogy of IDEA Design Project CoursesTwo interdisciplinary design project courses serve as the backbone to the IDEA curriculum. Inthese two courses (IDEA 298 and 398) students work in teams to solve problems as illustrated inTable 1. We have adopted a two-part teaching approach for these project-based courses. Onecomponent of the course consists of addressing topics we have identified as critical to the designprocess such as ethics, project management, communication and teamwork. This component ofthe course is team taught by faculty from both the engineering school and the writing program.Many of the classes devoted to these topics use a case-based

The intentwas that the students adopt imaginative and innovative approaches to the design process andestablish a complete design. 1. To design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. 2. To function on multi-disciplinary teams. 3. To identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. 4. To

time and become what is hoped to be a ‘labor of love’, with students pushing theirprojects beyond the course minimum requirements. Lectures basically follow the samesequence covering topics such as decision making methodology, specification generation,risk analysis, codes and standards, ethics, economics, etc. The difference between the twocourses is in the depth of topic coverage. IMED requiring relatively shallow coveragewith the focus being on the process steps in the design method. The senior course takesknowledge of these steps somewhat for granted and instead the focus is on increasing thedepth and scope of problem definitions, detailed analysis methods, proficiency incommunication and the size and complexity of the projects undertaken

constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.This activity provides numerous constraints including component size, product rating, limitedproduct development time, limited manufacturing time, and fixed and variable costs associatedwith labor and materials. Assessment of this outcome can be based on whether or not teamswere able to make a profit on their design. (d) An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.Multidisciplinary teams are formed out of the cohort of engineering physics and opticalengineering students in our class. Success in practice is only achieved through teamwork; byassigning a fixed cost per student for labor and keeping the
company-sponsored, product- oriented capstone design programs. As part of the mission of the Engineering Education Innovation Cen- ter (EEIC), Rogers has led the development of an ABET-approved curriculum for a year-long Capstone experience. With a focus on providing students with a broader experience base, the multidisciplinary program applies teams of engineers, business, design, and other students to work with Ohio companies to help them be more competitive. Teams apply a company’s core competencies to help develop new products and markets. This experiential learning emphasizes real-world problem solving, professional communication and ethics, teamwork, and implementation of a formalized design process. Additionally
each semester.It should be noted that there are six ABET Students Outcomes that are mapped to the courseoutcomes of this capstone senior design project. They are:(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability(d) an ability to function on single-discipline and multidisciplinary teams(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems(g) an ability to communicate effectively(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learningBased on the

purpose. We argue that when such design problems fall short, it notbecause they are not authentic, but because they may be missing other elements. Perhapssurprisingly, even in the popular culture design problems, this missing element may bemeaningfulness or relevance [15], a central tenant of constructionist learning [6].Engineering courses tend to privilege the technical aspects of engineering [16], though analysisof authentic engineering design practice characterizes this work as sociotechnical [17, 18], andresearch has increasingly suggested reflecting this in engineering programs is valuable [19, 20],providing students with opportunities to grapple with complex factors and ethics [21, 22]. Suchproblems create opportunities to connect with the

? Students’ LessonsLearned Documents were used to investigate this. Students were asked to state opinions abouteach major document they worked on and to discuss any lessons they learned that they plan tocarry into the future. They were also asked to comment on the quality of the course,effectiveness of advisors, and work ethic of teammates. Responses were compared between2013, during which EE422 and EE464 were only loosely tied together, and 2014-2015, afterEE422 material was formally connected with EE464 and continued to be applied in EE465.

During the first semester i.e. fall semester, the teams are required to submit reports on Code of Conduct, Needs Assessment, Project Planning andProduct specification, Conceptual Design, and Interim Design. In the second semester, i.e.,spring semester, the teams are required to submit three reports, Operational Manual, reportfor Manufacturing, Reliability, and Economics, and a final project report. Along with thesereports team has to also present periodically and hold staff meetings with the senior designcoordinator to make sure they are on the right track.The Code of Conduct covers the ethical part of the training program.

rubrics.In particular, the following ABET outcomes have components that are included in this activity: • 2. Ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors • 4: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contextsFuture work includes a robust and modular ABET-style assessment exercise that faculty can useto gather this data. At the time of publication, a first draft was
and approved by thehuman research ethics board at the University of Toronto.In the feedback survey, demographic data were collected on students’ gender, previous hands-onexperience, as well as preferred learning styles by asking students to self-identify based on theVARK model categories: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic [9]. The amount oftime it took the students to complete each activity module was also collected. In the main sectionof the survey, the students were asked to rate their subjective perception using a 5-point Likertscale: Strongly agree (5), agree (4), undecided (3), disagree (2), strongly disagree (1).These perception questions were divided into two sections:Overall experience: 1.

As stated by this instructor: “The social context has to do with incorporating realistic constraints, because they’re going to be societal impact of what you are going, and they have to be aware of that when they’re designing things….I think it’s an essential part. Because engineers have to be part of the real world.”Important experiences in learning designThe instructors also identified a number of “experiences” that they believed would be helpful indeveloping their skills as designers. Many of these experiences are “real world” issues thatdesign teams in industry experience
