goals became to apply and develop engineering designacross the curriculum. Starting by an introduction to engineering course in the first semester, ourcurriculum consists of design embedded courses each semester. However, that brings a challengeto us, engineering educators, to prevent this emphasis from shadowing the subject material ofeach course. Design work should not be a separate entity, but a contributory tool which can beused to support the teaching of the courses’ fundamentals1. Upper division courses are easier toincorporate design projects due to the knowledge levels and skills of the students. On the otherside, creating good design projects for lower division courses are more difficult because thestudents don’t have the analytical

After a successful career in the technical field of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE), and having worked at the prestigious Nation Institute of Standards and Technology, Dr. Shull made the decision to return to academia and began his career in education. From the first day, Dr. Shull noted an apparent lack of sound educational practice at the higher educational level.

consisted of onedesign course in each of the two semesters, with an emphasis on laboratory experiences.Through these courses, the students were given 245 minutes of lab time each week (divided intotwo weekly lab periods of 170 minutes and 75 minutes, respectively) to work on various open-ended design challenges, as well as 50 minutes each week for lectures, which taught primarilywritten and graphical communication skills. The initial design course utilized the projects toexperientially develop important skillsets, such as the design process, project management,verbal communication, teamwork, social considerations, and the application of scientific andmathematic principles. These skills were expected to be developed by the students, with

ofimportant behaviors. Recommendations include incorporating a professional spine in thecurriculum, whereby students may have an opportunity to integrate their knowledge in acontextual environment. A second recommendation outlines the need for students to makeconnections between theory and practice and to develop the thinking skills required forengineering practice. This requires an inductive, as opposed to a deductive, approach to teachingand learning.The integration of professional identity, knowledge and skills requires that students have anopportunity to experience engineering practice, through so-called approximations to practice.Often this means exposing students to laboratory or design project teaching methods (they aredifferent).

products and systems,new design techniques are needed. These techniques should be developed through soundresearch methodologies and enhance designers abilities. Toward this end, we have developed aset of indicators which classify design problems between those for which the preferable design isa transformer, devices with multiple functional states, or a monomorph, devices with a singlefunctional state. The indicators reveal, at an early stage in the design process, if developing atransformable product is likely to be advantageous. A novel design methodology is proposedwhich incorporates the indicators and has been tested at teaching institutions of higher education.Design application trials are used as a method for determining the impact of this

and require different assessment tools. Academic skills incomputation, engineering topics, and computer modeling are all necessary for successfulcompletion of a design project. However, successful design students must also masterprofessional skills such as oral and written communication, project management, teamworkskills, problem solving, and professional ethics. These skills can be difficult to teach in atraditional lecture format, but can be very naturally integrated into capstone design5. Sincecapstone design courses offer many opportunities for situated learning, they allow students tolearn these professional skills in a realistic context6.Given that these professional skills are necessary for a successful capstone design experience,one
