The faculty at the University of Tennessee atChattanooga believes the concepts and principles of design are as fundamental to undergraduateengineering education as are those tools and topics traditionally thought as fundamental (such asmathematics, physics, chemistry, statics, and dynamics). One of the benefits of design is thehands-on activities or Project-Based Learning application it brings to the classroom. ABET alsostates that engineering programs must demonstrate that their
