Students in the Junior level Machine Design course are taught to consider the variability of materials, manufacturing processes, and unpredictable factors of products in service such as variable loading, and the necessity for a factor of Safety. They analyze the empirical nature of fatigue analysis, and apply fundamental concepts of uncertainty in designing components.” • R8.14: “We focus on teaching them how to deal with uncertainty through prototyping and

Engineers learn and exercise their theories and practiceswithin particular social settings - within classrooms, within a laboratory, and during the designreview (Bucciarelli, 2001 , p. 298). In this study we consider the studio environment as a socialclassroom setting (where some laboratory facilities are within the students reach) and wherestudents are engage in the process of design.

and experimentation: Unfortunately, the advent of the computer and itsimpact on teaching engineering has made it easy to produce computer-based models at theexpense of physical models. This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the

interaction of the user with an artifact thatinvolves a high level of emotional involvement on the user’s part.We propose a first step towards establishing a framework called compassionate design, with thegoal of sensitizing engineers to issues and considerations that may get overlooked when relyingsolely on traditional methods. First, we survey the current literature on design methods (SectionII). We then present an analysis of exemplary case studies and identify some emerging themes(Section III) to provide initial elements of the framework (Sections IV). Section V and VI provideinsight on teaching design and conclude with an outlook on future work.2 Survey of the Literature: Design Thinking Methods and PhilosophiesThere are a number of common

Perhaps this is most clearly evident in the type ofengineers certain companies employ and perhaps the statistics on employment may show a biastowards employing graduates from particular institutions in specific industry sectors. Educators have reported on the benefits of experiential, hands-on, student-directed learning[1-4] and the effects of design courses in engineering [5]. Engineering educators have used field Page 24.1198.2trips, laboratory investigations, and interdisciplinary activities that enrich and extend thecurriculum [6, 7].

The nature of designing activities requires an environment that is not of a traditional classroom nature. Deep Orange requires students to collaborate and interact with each other and with faculty on a regular basis in a permanent collaborative space (resembling a studio). The students work on workstations grouped by their team membership as well as team white boards in the Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL), which is divided into two sections; one is an office like area, and the second is a workshop to build and assemble the concept vehicle. The SIL is equipped with
