Today, game developers rarely buildcomputer games on their own, as they did 15 years ago. Many best-selling computer gamescontain thousands of lines of code and have multi-million dollar development budgets. Moderngame development requires the effort of a team of skilled professionals to integrate multimediacontent and complex computer software. Game development projects have a reputation for latedelivery times and cost over runs. In December 2005, consumers observed hardware failures inthe first Xbox 360 consoles delivered to consumers and the recall of a popular Nintendo GameCube

Previously students would learn the basics of hand lay-up and resininfusion independently of tooling considerations. The students were given only one option,polyurethane foam. This led to a gap in learning and, instead of considering tooling at thebeginning of a project, it was often left as an afterthought. Even then tooling was only a minorconsideration as most students chose to use the method they were presented with in lab and notbranch out to other methods that might have been more appropriate for their

Even though group projects in thePrinciples of Design course promoted creativity and the use of systematic methods for solvingproblems, there remained a lack of understanding among the students of the linkages of calculusand introductory physics to engineering design.
