Often thestructure and skills of the engineering design process are learned through project-based learning.There are many ways to carry out project-based learning, but in general the design process andskills are learned while carrying out an actual design project. Some of the lecture time isoccasionally devoted to teaching engineering design skills and structure. While that basic approach to engineering design has been the norm for many years theconsiderations in the process have been expanding and evolving with the growth of thesustainability initiative that unfolded in the 1990s.4 The ever increasing demand for food, water

The topography of progressive engineering programsvaries dramatically from university to university, as professors draw inspiration fromnon-traditional sources including the social sciences, philosophy, business, architecture,and art.

It is our view that the great number of pedagogical devices, case studiesand design projects that have been developed over the years to demonstrate the application ofthe traditional design process (with sporadic levels of success) is an indication that there maybe a problem with the portrayal and implementation of the design process itself. In short, thedesign process makes sense when taking a retrospective view of a successful design. However,it breaks down when a novice attempts to apply the process to a real design project. Forexample, the first design process step of determining the problem is known by every designerto be the most difficult part of design and often occurs closer to the end of the
