semester it became evident how this single presentation needs to be expandedinto multiple lessons. For example, it was apparent that we need to cover how to introduce adesign to an outside audience. This is a topic that capstone students might scoff at, but it isessential for engineering novices. We will use student examples to highlight the need to startwith the “big picture” and then describe smaller components. We will emphasize planning designdescriptions rather than simply starting with the first thing that comes to mind, as is often thecase.The last introductory presentation identifies what engineering audiences expect to encounter in adesign briefing.

To make thelearning event more realistic in an engineering context, we decided to introduce the notion ofdifferent design teams competing for the distinction of creating the “best product.”3.

Theclassroom can be broken into small teams of 3 -5 students to encourage these skills and situ-ate the game in a more comfortable structure.

The ability toformulate a problem with pencil and paper to large and small scales then ably see the big picturebeyond the computer color contour or spreadsheets and small monitor screens has alreadyresulted in tragic consequences. In his book, “Engineering in the Mind‟s Eye,” Eugene Fergusondiscusses such instances have already resulted in major problems. Due to the over-computerization, the judgment of engineers has become compromised. Ferguson cites thefollowing in this work: “Despite the enormous amounts of effort and treasure that have beenpoured into creating analytical tools to add rigor and precision to the design of complex systems,a paradox remains.
