instructor’s job to assure that all teams successfully accomplish the designproject. This experience is exactly what Freshmen deciding whether to major in engineering need.Design is an integral part of the practice of engineering [11], [12] and we believe it should be anintegral part of students’ education during their entire undergraduate career. Design is introduced to the students formally through the lectures “What is Design?” and “TheDesign Process,” which are followed by the previously mentioned design exercise, the DeltaDesign Game that we find very useful in establishing teamwork and communication skills. Thenstudents receive an introductory drawing lecture, and finally embark upon the LTA vehicle designproject, which counts for 50 percent

time this course will beoffered.Project ObjectiveThe UW College of Engineering funded development of a series of distance-learning courses tosupport its Engineering Co-op Program and make it easier for chemical engineers to participate.Students, potential employers, and our faculty agree that co-op can be a valuable part of anengineer’s education. Students may accept a summer-only assignment or they may extend theirtime-to-degree by working on a co-op assignment during the academic year.The HTOL course was designed to resolve the problem that few students in the Department ofChemical Engineering participated in the engineering co-op program because it hinderedprogress through the department’s curriculum. Some required courses are offered only

developed economies need to be morecreative to stay ahead and drive innovations in an increasingly global economy.The World is Flat31 made it clear to the general public that routine engineering is now doneefficiently in India, China, and other locations. The educational preparation of students for thosejobs may also be done globally, potentially dislodging the US as the preeminent place for post-secondary study. What is it that postmodern US universities can offer that is unique andexcellent? What will future graduates be prepared to do that distinguishes them from others andprepares them to deal with the huge challenges ahead? One answer: the ability for personalcreativity and the ability to envision—and to lead others in—innovation and change

Since our gameprimarily targets STEM courses that develop a student’s problem-solving capability, we designed our gameto be a narrative-based game in which the player assumes the role of an investigator, a detective, or anengineer

This is a work in progress.IntroductionThe intent of this course is to teach relevant engineering topics through a project-based course1 thatengages and motivates students. Each student enrolled in the course plans, designs, fabricates andinspects a custom-fit bicycle frame. The course was initiated by the authors after a discussion on thebenefits to engineering students of the process and skills required to build a bicycle frame.The course development process was started in January of 2009 by obtaining funding for initialcurriculum development, materials and required tooling. The course was designed and developedusing backward design.2 The steps in backward course design are

]. Many of these skills can be gained through meaningfulincorporation of liberal arts into higher education [16]. However, current engineering educationhas not yet embraced the notion of the “cooperation among the previously separate disciplines toattack problems that have no recognizable boundaries” (p.17) [17] to enable students to quicklyadapt to the consistent shifts in directions taken by technology and engineering in the real worldwhere the globalization, the development of a knowledge economy, and rapid changes intechnology make skills of recent graduates obsolete in as little as 18 months [12, 18, 19].

Students who havetrouble with Statics often face great difficulty learning the more advanced concepts insubsequent courses.In an effort to enhance learning, many educators have successfully developed and integratedmultimedia and computer technology in Statics instruction.1-4 Some of these tools are used toenhance the traditional (face-to-face) lecture format whereas others provide a framework forfully Web-based (online) or blended delivery of the course content. Although these tools help todiversify the delivery of instructional materials, the pedagogical paradigm of lecture-basedinstruction (on campus or distance) remains the same.Despite students’ mixed
goal to increase teaching of design in engineering curricula. Thecurriculum must have documented student outcomes following the ABET A-K criteria, whichincludes the identification and formulation of open-ended, complex problems, development ofcreativity to solve these problems, the ability to apply the engineering design process to producesolutions to meet needs of society, the ability to communicate ideas and designs to a wide rangeof audiences, and the ability of students to effectively work in a team environment [1]. Seniordesign courses are often designed to draw upon previous coursework in the relevant discipline aswell as provide a realistic experience that draws parallels to design problems in industry.
