devices, sensors, and circuits with a real-world emphasis on projectmanagement and design. The course is structured to encourage students to learn how to learn thetheoretical underpinnings of electronics through the design of laboratory projects. As such, lesstime is spent initially in the classroom teaching the theory behind important elements ofelectronics. Instead, in the later phases of the electronic project, after students have already hadan opportunity to experience working devices and circuits in the laboratory, instructors are muchbetter able to introduce students in greater depth to fundamental electronic theory. Studentexperiences in the laboratory with microelectronic devices and circuits motivate a richer, moremeaningful discussion

week for three hours each meeting (for a total of nine hours a week). Thestudents use the ARCE 305 design course as prerequisites and other architecture courses toprepare complete structural documents (structural calculations, structural plans, sections, detailsand specifications) for real masonry buildings that the instructors bring to class from theirpractice. The laboratory course is limited to sixteen students per class. The course is usuallyconducted in smart rooms with layout as shown in Figure 3. In this format, the “learn by doing”comes to fruition similar to the old medical expression of: “see one, do one, teach one”.The two masonry courses are mandatory for all students in the ARCE program.Constructability is

connectionbetween their classroom knowledge and professional practice. Important pressures also exist forour industrial “customers” who must be able to respond to the need for increasingly sophisticatedproblem solutions, requiring more sophisticated skills in professional practice from ourgraduates. Given this “moving target” in needs, if we are not able to more completely prepareour students, there will be a delay between the time of graduation and the time when ourgraduates can be fully effective innovators.In the Carnegie Foundation’s summary of their study on engineering education3, part of theirfindings included the following: “The central lesson that emerged from the study is the imperative of teaching for professional practice — with practice

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

in many ways other than just projects. Forexample, a laboratory experiment may or may not be a project. Playing in an orchestra isnot a project, but involves learning by doing (the practice of what the individual will do Page 14.416.2in his or her profession). Therefore, Cal Poly has not changed the learn-by-doingphilosophy.First, a bit of history. In the past, our first-year introductory Mechanical Engineeringcourse included both a lecture and a lab. More than anything, it was an introduction to thepractice of Mechanical Engineering, fit for young students who may not have evenknown what an engineer does (Cal Poly requires that applicants declare a

abstractrepresentation of reality. Thus, the goal of learning, behaviourism submits, is to understand thereality and modify behaviour accordingly, and the purpose of teaching is to transfer theknowledge from expert to learner18. The behaviourist model is still widely adopted forinstructional design of teaching factual or procedural knowledge of engineering. Instructorsconvert the reality into abstract or generalized representations, and transfer them to studentsthrough a well-planned, linear and gradual procedure in a “tamed” environment, be it aclassroom or laboratory. The students’ performance is assessed by measuring the proximity oftheir behaviour (answering questions, writing reports and essays, performing laboratoryexperiments, etc.) to the expected

particular attention paid tosustainable design and systems analysis. Our philosophy of sustainable design incorporatestechnical, financial, environmental, and societal criteria1. The backbone of our curriculumconsists of a 10 credit sequence of design courses that extend through the entire sophomore, Page 14.130.2junior, and senior years. These courses are laboratory courses and contain significant projectwork as well as design instruction. Our approach to teaching design includes instruction incritical thinking practices such as the development of “intentional and directed intellectualprocesses and habits that foster effective thinking”2.
