Furthermore, exposure to real-world challenges, especially when presented in anactive and practical learning environment increases both student interest and pedagogicaleffectiveness. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in its report, “Educating theEngineer of 2020,” contends that solving the Grand Challenges will require more than justproviding students with technical training. It argues that an engineering education must producegraduates who combine technical excellence with a multitude of other skills includingcommunication, teaming, ethical reasoning, and contextual analysis.

suchtopics as cost assessment, decision making, economic evaluation, engineering ethics, and projectplanning. The principal course activity, which extends over a period of seven weeks, involvesstudent design of a timber pier which must satisfy client and NDS1 specifications, and requirespreparation of cost estimates, a construction schedule, and detailed design drawings, all presentedto the client (their instructor) in the form of a written design report.We kick-off the fall semester with a brief course introduction and discussion of the nine-stepdesign process (after Hyman2) with special emphasis on Step 5: Concept Generation. To betterappreciate the entire design process (cradle to grave) as well as multidisciplinary aspects ofdesign, we then
