It is not clear that the authorsconsider all four of these points to be about values. In an earlier passage, only the firstseems to be referred to as a moral value. In addition, the second point seems to be moreabout methodology than it is about what is valuable, that is, it is more about how to domoral deliberation than it is about what is important.2.

The document camera allowed for the use of figures or graphs tobe shown directly to the students, much in the way an overhead projector might be used in atypical classroom. However, the document camera had the further advantages of projecting goodcolor, zooming in on very small detail, and allowing objects or even textbooks to be projected.Thus, samples of lamps and electrical devices could be shown directly and students in bothclassrooms could see detail much better than a typical classroom.The laptop computer allowed for many class notes to be presented through computer

This approach has beenpartly dictated by a lack of tools for collaboration. Tools are now available to permit shared creation of rich multimedia documents by teams of students.These documents can then be contributed to a common knowledge base.

Most courses also requirecompletion of a short project. Finally, the Capstone Project serves to integrate the students’knowledge through applied research and development.

In industry, new-product development (NPD) requiresattention to detail at the individual project, business, and systems level to create a successfulproduct launch [2], whereas university engineering design courses tend to focus on the individualproject level. Cooper’s [2] NPD success drivers often reflect the type of skills that are a focus inCBE. For individual new-product projects, overlapping concepts include voice-of-the-customer,pre-work, definition, and iterations.
