The reality is that almost any project can likely be"completed" by any of these platforms. As with all things in engineering, there are tradeoffs, andwe should teach students to seek an optimal solution. What that optimal solution is, whatmetrics should be considered, and how they are weighted depends on the application at hand.The point of this work is not to advocate that one is clearly the best but rather that it isnecessary for engineers and educators to introduce engineering students to multiple platformsand help them navigate how to select a platform for a given

This is unfortunate as creative andgroundbreaking design concepts often arise from investigations that span academic boundaries.Indeed, even learning to communicate effectively between engineering and other sciences can bea precious learning experience. In this study, we report on a unique collaborative effort betweenorganismal biology and mechanical engineering that was undertaken to provide an undergraduatecross-training experience. The project involved the creation of an articulated physical model of abullfrog skeleton with mechanical joints that mimicked realistic prey strike movements.

Mind the gapThe call for more design experience in engineering curricula draws attention to a problem indesign education that engineering educators have noted for quite some time. Traditionalengineering programs lack curricular coherence when it comes to design. Students typicallyhave design experiences during introductory coursework (or “cornerstone” courses2) as freshmenand then again later as seniors during capstone projects or seminars. Thus, design experiencescomprise disjointed bookends in students‟ college careers. Their sophomore and junior years aredevoted
