The University of Texas atTyler has conducted an experimental project in which engineering students were encouraged toexperience the design process afresh from the perspective of the creative arts. Juniors inelectrical engineering worked under the mentorship of arts faculty in a chosen medium (studioart, writing, or music) to produce legitimate works of art that were displayed, performed, or readpublicly, and documented how their experiences of design in the arts have informed and shapedtheir perspectives as engineers. The structure, expectations, and results of this course aredescribed in this paper.A
