While these programs arenot specifically created for high school curriculum, they provide positive evidence of studentslearning through design. These university programs also largely rely on engineering and servicelearning, a means of involving engineers in community service by engaging them in real worldengineering problems that serve a nearby community.Project-based courses are designed to helps students view engineering problems systematicallyand maturely (Crismond, unpublished).

of learning engineering design, we have developed a new method ofteaching engineering design which covers most aspects of a design. The new method fits into afour- semester design course series. The new method uses project-based learning and alsoaddresses the issue of having students from multiple upperclass levels on one team.1. IntroductionDesign is an important part of the engineering curricula not only in the eyes of industry but alsothe Accreditation Board of Engineers and Technology (ABET) 1, 2, therefore special attention hasbeen given to design courses at engineering colleges across the nation and worldwide. In designcourses, students integrate and apply their knowledge to design products or to address problems.The design process

) Page 23.16.2(Source 4)Many organizations now notice the lack of engineering talent capable of stepping into leadershiproles in today’s fast paced, technology-driven environment. To remedy this situation, largerbusinesses are taking it upon themselves to develop their own leadership development programs fornew college hires. Examples of such programs are found in GE’s Edison Development Engineering,Operations Management Leadership Programs and J&J’s Global Operations LeadershipDevelopment or “Gold” program. In fact, many employers in need of hiring better-trained leadersare now modeling their leadership programs after these programs. Looking closely at leadershipdevelop programs, often the participants are simply rotated through different
