The paper reviews the role of design inengineering programs, and outlines the current research on how design thinking processes couldbe taught and learned. It explores also the currently most-favored pedagogical model for teachingdesign, namely: Project-Based Learning (PBL).

The emphasis ison the real-life modeling applications of differential equations.The small size and highly diverse population of the classroom provide opportunities for studentsto work on modeling applications of differential equations within an interdisciplinary team. Thefinal projects incorporated into the course cover topics ranging from earth sciences to vehiclesystems, electrical circuits to robotics. Given the fact that the course material has an emphasis onlinear ordinary differential equations, the final projects are utilized to introduce more advancedtopics such as model nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties and numerical

During the first course in analog communication systems, thestudents are introduced to communication circuits, Fourier series, noise analysis, amplitude modulation,frequency modulation, transmission lines, and antennas. Along with the lecture material, the students meetweekly in the lab for experimentation. Since the fundamentals of analog communications have been inexistence for many years, there is a need to introduce current technology to students in this course. In this paper, an innovative use of current technology within analog communication systems ispresented. This paper describes a laboratory project which uses

Further, opportunities are made available for all M.E. degreecandidates to assume internships in industry prior to graduation. The selection of projects andinternships is facilitated by the strong corporate and alumni network maintained by Thayer School.1.

Background In 1993 the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering set up the CollegeCurriculum Committee to examine whether a gap existed between its engineering education program andthe expectations of employers. The committee concluded there was indeed a gap, and identified theneeds to retain more freshmen and increase the number of women and minorities in engineering.Simultaneously, Sandra Courter and Katherine Sanders began a teaching improvement project with sixengineering faculty that would be Sanders’ Industrial Engineering Ph.D. dissertation project

Exams and an extensive reading listare also included in the course. An underlying theme of the course is integration of CIM-typefunctions within a manufacturing organization, including the most important element of businesscommunications within and between functional areas.
