Students were introducedto the design process, and faculty came into the class to talk about their research with twothoughts in mind. The first was to talk about the different kinds of engineers who work on thesame research projects and to identify the role of each major. The second was to address howthey use the design process in their research. Faculty interactions occurred both through labtours and through classroom presentations. The final project for the course was to incorporatethe design concepts discussed in class by designing a new technology that would help solve asmall and focused piece of a grand challenge of their choice.

This research wasmotivated by the observation that emerging eTextbook technologies could help enhance theeducation of engineering students. Engineers often want to experiment and to be able to quicklysee meaningful results. They want to receive immediate feedback or response for their inputs.They want interactive learning tools. Engineers want trial-and-error with a realistic system, withwhich they can interact, even if it is a virtual one. The most
