The course content is conventional and develops basicskills in the student aimed at reading and interpreting commercial and residentialconstruction drawings. For most students, ET 200 is their first engineering course withthe potential for a design component. These design projects presented in this paper weredeveloped and implemented with specific objectives in mind: • To stimulate interest in engineering and design; • To provide the user with an

I’ve had…complete ideas scrapped because they didn’t meet the end goal. And so it’s kind of like working jointly, and I think from my experiences, in order for it to be successful, an in-depth knowledge of your user has to come first so that you can make sure you’re designing to their specifications. But as I’ve learned and had different solutions rejected, I’ve

Over time,there are changes in occupational classifications – for example, in 1997 and 1998 electrical andelectronic engineers were considered a single sub discipline, but in 1999 and thereafter they weretreated separately. The surveys designed to collect employment data may be treated differentlyby employers, who may classify employees in the same occupation differently. Finally, the OESdata are collected as averages across time periods, a methodology that may not reveal suddenchanges very quickly.

Reason 2 isthat “[s]tudying the humanities allows you to become familiar with and use the creative ideasfrom great minds outside of science.

Our assignments are designed keeping in mind this need. Social constructivism [7] suggests that learners first construct knowledge in a socialcontext. The process of discussing/ (arguing for) one’s understanding of an experience with peersand/or more knowledgeable others (teachers, parents) is in effect, the process of knowledgeconstruction (“first between people”) which is followed by the individual process of internalizingthe knowledge (“and then inside the child”).
