. Page 24.948.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 On Engineering Design Education: Exposing Students to Design KnowledgeAbstract: Design is considered by most to be the central activity of engineering. Also, it isknown that engineering programs should graduate engineers who can design effectively to meetsocial and environmental needs. Though the role and perception of design across a wide range ofeducational institutions have improved markedly in recent years; however, both design facultyand design practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary. One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an

refine the content and delivery of the IC, it wasencouraging to the design instructors that the students seemed to easily make connections toother design course content even if the terms used on the IC were slightly different. Forexample, the biomedical engineering students used the terms “merit” and “feasibility” whiledeveloping their decision matrix for their projects. The students readily translated these terms to“key features/functions” and “critical to success” metrics. It is hypothesized that this task maybe more difficult for freshman or sophomore-level students, but it is an important skill to developin graduating seniors as they head into careers where the terminology may be different, but theconcepts are the same.It was also

, independent studies,thesis–based research and individual projects.11,12Many of the projects undertaken by the HESE program are multi-year, cross-discipline projectsthat entail the aid of people outside the engineering department (i.e. business school, law school,etc.) The projects are also vertically integrated to include students spanning the academic rungsfrom freshman to doctoral candidates. Each project includes a faculty lead, but it is mainlymanaged by students as the faculty act as the long-term point of contact for the communities.At Purdue University, a multi-disciplinary engineering design program (EPICS) has beenoperating for almost 20 years. Coyle et al. have provided an assessment of the program fromboth the student and the community

consumer needs and wants incorporating marketand trend analyses. The project proceeds with general explorations, investigation of variousdesign and vehicle architecture alternatives including selection of one concept based oncarefully balancing environmental, economic, and social aspects. During this process, thefaculty serves as mentors rather than knowledge dispensers. The students are empowered tomake decisions and justify their concept selection to different groups, i.e. faculty membersand industrial partners. The last eight months of each project comprises of building aphysical prototype and validation of target achievement. Extensive marketing of the projectoutcomes at trade-shows with graduates involved concludes each project.1

Collaborative learning also takes place, asstudents learn from their own team members, and from observations of other teams.Student evaluation and feedbackIn the 2013 student survey, students have clearly said that they enjoyed the project activities,and the hands-on tasks. Three methods were employed to gather student opinions – an onlinesurvey (147 responses received), face-to-face discussions by staff from the Department ofTeaching and Learning (over 300 students participated), and course feedback. Students saidthat the projects, Stream online support (especially, the weekly study plans), practical andapplied activities, class discussions, problem solving exercises, and field trips
