science and other non-engineering degree programs. Theeffectiveness of the course at inspiring this somewhat reluctant student population to getexcited about applying engineering principles and problem-solving techniques isprimarily due to a syllabus that is structured around three engineering design projects, orEDPs. These projects, which become progressively more complex throughout thesemester, require students to take taught theory out of the classroom and apply it to thedesign of mechanical systems. Observations and data collected over the course of theprevious three years, to include direct student feedback and an analysis of embeddedlearning indicators, indicates that these design projects promote effective learning indirect proportion to

Assembly and successful operation of commercially available automata kits5. An open-ended design project where a group of students had to design and build automata.During the course, students learned the theory governing mechanisms and their uses inthe real-world.

demonstrated, these fractions of overall disciplinaryeffort can be construed to underestimate the actual numbers of engineers who work ondefense-related projects. With respect to research efforts, based on data from theNational Science Foundation, about 50% of federally supported research in engineering isdefense-related, far higher than for most other disciplines.A variety of ethical questions surround the engineer’s participation in military or defense-related work. But despite this, and despite the historically strong and persistingassociation between engineering and the military, surprisingly little attention is paid toquestions of military, defense, or weapons research and development in engineeringethics literature.

This project had a significant impact on Kettering’s environmentalfootprint because of the large magnitude of paper being recycled.
