Otherinformation that can be placed in QFD is product benchmarking data and target values. At any stage, QFD describes the matrix of what the customer wants versus how thesupplier will supply it. The first QFD matrix is used to translate customer wants(requirements of the actual end-customer) into product characteristics (broad details of howthe requirements will be met). The product characteristics are then translated through anotherQFD matrix into part characteristics. Part characteristics are translated into processcharacteristics. Finally, process characteristics are translated into

Design in Engineering Education

AbstractDesign tasks are ubiquitous, complex, ill-structured, and challenging to students and professionalengineering designers. Successful designing depends on having not only adequate knowledge butalso sufficient awareness and control of that knowledge, known as metacognition. Researchsuggests that metacognition not only enhances learning outcomes but also encourages students tobe self-regulated learners who are metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally activeparticipants in their learning process.This article evaluates the extent to which students‟ task interpretation of the design project isreflected in their working plans and monitoring/regulating strategies. Butler and Cartier‟s Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) model was used to evaluate the

This problem is furtheraggravated on Indian reservations in North Dakota because of their isolated locations anddistance from industries. The authors developed a weekend academic program, “SundayAcademy”, carried out on four North Dakota Indian reservations, to stimulate Native Americanstudents’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), to attract toengineering programs, and to engage high school teachers and tribal college instructors in theprocess of developing engineering and applied science lesson plans.

Lack of time to plan andimplement NE was cited as the topmost challenge for teachers.  Inability to figure out books andproblems, pressure from administration, difficulties in lesson planning, group dynamics amongstudents, and safety of students while handling materials were some of the other concernsmentioned in the evaluation.Similar findings were uncovered in a survey of 70 elementary and middle school teachers doneby Coppola, S.M., Madariaga, L. and Schnedeker, M.

They found that lack of time, access tomaterials and resources, and unfamiliarity with the content were major barriers that preventintegrating engineering into the classroom.Research MethodologyA list of potential barriers for NE
