introducesstudents to the different engineering disciplines using a hands-on approach. This laboratory classemploys a combination of reverse engineering (take apart common devices) and laboratories fromdifferent disciplines. The aim is to introduce our students to engineering disciplines, to introduceassembly and design topics, to promote and encourage the understanding of engineering drawingsand associated visualization issues, and to also generate enthusiasm for our profession. At thesame time we teach students some basic skills (such as using wrenches and calipers) and givethem an understanding about how devices are designed and why, as well as the roles of thedifferent engineering disciplines in the production of the device.International ComponentsAn

A number of themes emerge from such studies, principally these: Design should beintegrated more fully through the curriculum, and more emphasis should be given to what haveoften been called “softer” skills like communications and ethics, for example.

The availability of equations, for instance,will greatly help their usage in course work. If more information is available, students can improvetheir understanding of the step-by-step process taught in lectures or illustrated in technical books.During homework and laboratory activities, a student must spend a lot of time trying to manuallyverify the correctness of their work.

Design curricula around the country have many commonalities. Thispaper summarizes both the commonalities and unique features of engineering design curricula.Many of the objectives for design curricula will remain unchanged as design curricula reform;yet some will shift in priority, and methods for achieving particular objectives will likely change.The paper ends with discussion of what the future may hold.IntroductionNo longer is an engineer
