We are aninterdisciplinary team from several areas of the Computer and ElectricalEngineering programs at the University of Puerto Rico, exploring novel ideas ofproducts that can become feasible projects for the capstone design course. Theapproach to our work contrasts with many conventional engineering educationpractices, which place emphasis on highly structured and formal procedures andsolving problems proposed by faculty members or by industry partners. Althoughwe still meet in the formal setting of a classroom and one research laboratory, thesessions differ significantly from regular classes, appearing more

activities were fun and educational for freshmen and included water-bottle rocket design, robotic maze-following, LED circuit design, and bridge truss design. In fall2016, a humanitarian engineering section was included as the fourth rotation (Figure 1) andfocused on using mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering skills in a humanitarian setting. Thiswas a commendable step toward improving the course and addressing broader impacts ofengineering, but something was still lacking. While these activities provided a glance into sometypical laboratory exercises in the various engineering disciplines and kept students engaged, thecourse did not emphasize human-centered design concepts that are vital for solving real-worldchallenges.

toexpose students “to the language of the mechanical things that surround us” [3] (pg. 2). Due tothe success of this work, product dissection in engineering education has become moreprominent in introductory engineering courses [7]. While prior work has also brought awareness to the potential learning benefits of physicalproduct dissection, there are still many obstacles that keep dissection from being adopted on awider scale [8, 9]. For instance, there is a wide range of the products dissected in these courses;early adopters dissected anything from a see-and-say children’s toy to a four stroke engine [4, 5,10]. In addition, the material cost and the space and safety requirements of the laboratories alsohinder the large scale deployment

students in their third (i.e., junior) year. The project was sponsored by an officefurniture company looking to bring a new line of “impromptu” seating options to market.Students worked individually on their designs and met informally with the instructor (Gary)during a 6-hour studio session each week. Students could also use a fabrication laboratory tobuild prototypes. Most design reviews occurred in the student workspace – a busy classroomspace with two back-to-back rows of tables with multiple computer displays and workspace foreach student (often cluttered with sketches, foam models, and other objects). There were fivedesign reviews: (1) a one-on-one review at the front of the room where students laid outpreliminary concept sketches to discuss

social motive can be built explicitly or implicitly. Team projectassignments can be an explicit social motive, and the informal atmosphere can be an implicitway to promote social interaction. Intrinsic motive can be conducted through theimprovement and completeness of laboratory practices, assignments, and projects. Extrinsicmotive can be achieved by offering incentives like rewards, such as extra points, prizes,certificates, etc. CIM believes that only with strong capabilities as a basis, a student’s innovation can beinspired under the guidance of intrinsic or extrinsic motives.

representation is described, taught and learned in analysis-focused classes and indesign-focused classes is lacking. Some research has pointed to the disciplinary nature of thisunderstanding. Furthermore, a larger view at the curriculum level of the links of representation betweenanalysis and design needs more study.References"Foundation". (n.d.). Theodore von Karman.

manyof the items from the posted material, but they were not just copies of it. The students seemed tounderstand the difference between the wiki content format and that of a formal report.It was beneficial to the students to create web-based technical content. Many of them did nothave experience editing wikis before this course and their technical writing was most likely inthe form of traditional laboratory reports. Many companies are now using this type of toolinternally for project management, so it is helpful that the students be exposed to collaborativewriting and understand the differences between the different types of technical communication.The biggest highlight of using this technology was seeing the creativity of the students.
