Moreimportantly, the study explored whether these motivations aligned with teacher’s perceptions ofmotivation, and how these motivations varied based on student demographics. The course isdesigned as a highly interactive seminar-style course that explores all aspects of the engineeringprofession, including engineering disciplines, education, creativity and design process, andengineers’ professional and ethical responsibilities.

In this paper, we show how the culminatingdesign experience can be framed so as to expand the scope of its contribution in the education ofengineering students. We describe a pedagogical framework within which educational outcomesassociated with multidisciplinary activity, legal, ethical, and professional responsibilities, and

year-long Capstone design experience. With a fo- cus on providing students with a broader experience base, the multidisciplinary program applies teams of engineers, business, design, and other students to work with Ohio companies to help them be more competitive and with local non-profits to help them become self-sustaining. Using a formal design pro- cess, teams develop new products to meet industries’ competitive needs and others to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Students learn to solve open-ended problems and gain skills in critical thinking, professional communication, ethics, and teamwork.

The culmination of this course is the completionof a robotic bug and competing against fellow students for best design and performance3.The second design course, EE 200, further builds on the project-based mission. During thiscourse, students learn to construct circuits using the departmental print circuit board prototypefacilities. Circuit simulation with PSPICE software is also presented for this first time.

Beginning in the 1800s,demand for safer designs for machine guards, controls for elevators, and boilers became thenorm, followed by a procession of other devices and processes created by engineers to makework environments safer. The important role of engineers was highlighted as early as 1947, bythe Canons of Ethics for Engineers, which stated that: He will regard it his duty to guard against dangerous elements in apparatus, structures, or plants, or
