design courses intothe curriculum [4]. These engineering design courses generally aim to involve students in thedesign of a particular product or process while working in a team environment. They also usuallyinclude an individual component and advocate for the use of a particular design methodology[5]. Moreover, the introduction of cornerstone design courses in engineering programs’curriculum enhances students’ interest in engineering, increases students’ retention inengineering programs, motivate learning in upper division engineering science courses, enhancesperformance in design courses [6]. However, projects in cornerstone design courses are typicallynot based on authentic engineering practices or real-world problems [7]. The advent of the

Thisproject targets two key limitations that exist. First, most numerical methods for studyingplacement and flow fields involve the use of complicated and costly computational fluiddynamics (CFD) software. Second, wind resource maps typically represent values at 30 m orhigher. Small scale VAWT installations are typically at a lower elevation where the influence ofground effects can dominate.2.

Feisel and Rosa [12] identify a fundamental problem in that there appears to be nooverall agreement on the goals of engineering lab courses (p. 6), and they note that statedobjectives do not clearly translate into actions that can be taken and assessed in a class. Theirdiscussion also points out that the introduction of increasingly powerful computers andincreasingly complex lab equipment has introduced distractions, with the risk that projectinstructions and student attention may come to be dominated by the instrumentation rather thanby the system under study. Ernst’s classic article [1] speaks to a similar concern with projectgoals, pointing out that many instructional lab projects are

The goal was to engage and excite students by bringing them into being part of thesolution for designing and prototyping for the purpose of helping humanity. The 7-step human-centered design process shown in Figure 2 was created for the Engineering Design & Societycourse [1] to support both integration of human centered design and cover
students who attend our school while already working full time or returning frommilitary service. The first years of using a new approach to teaching always have uniquechallenges. The computer faculty made decisions about what was important to address in the firstyear of the curriculum, and what projects to use to keep students engaged in and excited aboutthe field of computing. Since the studio model radically departs from the single instructorclassroom lecture model, multiple professors were utilized in the same freshman studio course,each bringing in their own unique areas of expertise.Along with the studio model, electronic portfolios were implemented for the assessment ofstudent learning, as a benchmark that students must pass to advance to
