transient or excessively detailed knowledge thatthere was no time for fostering students’ fundamental understanding of content matter. In fact,most of those reform initiatives were based on grand views about “blocks” of content or generalskills needed to future engineers, or even socio-economic needs of whole countries 18, rather thandetailed studies on how engineering students learn. In addition, the technological tools used in those reform initiatives (such as modeling anddesign software) are the same employed by professional engineers in their everyday practice andnot especially designed for learning. This might be due to the belief that “doing”, most of thetimes, leads to “learning”. For instance, most software tools used in engineering

. Page 11.522.8Budget AnalysisThe budget for student senior design projects is set at $200 per student. The team ofthree students needed to complete this project within a budget of $600. Many of theproject components were donations such as the golf cart, plexi-glass, and tools donated orfrom the Technology Services group at the college. Shown in Table 1 is a list of theproducts and vendors from which they were purchased. The group slightly went overbudget because in the initial trial and error associated with development design andprototyping items were purchased that were subsequently not needed. This is animportant part of the learning experience for engineering students because that kind ofplanning for unintended, unforeseen but necessary
