With these facts in mind, the K-12 outreach teachingproject entitled “Body by Design” was developed as a central portion of an upper divisiontechnical elective course cross-listed between mechanical engineering and bioengineering.Structural Aspects of Biomaterials has been taught for nearly a decade and in this timeframe, thecourse has evolved from a survey course to a course with emphasis on project-based learning,interdisciplinary problems, teamwork, and outreach teaching.

What does this mean? The phase advanceis the result of our minds anticipating. We begin executing the turn before the car crosses thecenter line. To make the software-based controller work, students must incorporate that sametype of anticipation. All of them figure it out, some with a little help.It has been our experience that engineering students like to build things. They like to tinker. Theylike to figure out how to make things work.

define problem-solving as “the cognitive process directed atachieving a goal when no solution is obvious to the problem solver (p. 287). xvi” This definitionsuggests that problem-solving has four characteristics. Problem-solving is 1) cognitive (i.e., it isan internal process that occurs in the person’s mind), 2) process-oriented (the manipulation ofknowledge), 3) goal-directed (i.e., the process is guided by the person’s goals), and 4) personal(dependent on the person’s skills and knowledge). According to Donald xvii, the problem-solvingprocess in engineering involves the following thinking skills: a) Breaking down complex problems to simpler ones b) Appling fundamentals to new problems

First, it was important to design thecourse in such a way that the students could see the relevance of their previous course work byproviding an opportunity to apply that core knowledge to solving an engaging problem, andsecond, the course must teach the students some of the fundamentals of systems engineering byshowing them how to decompose complex problems into a series of manageable steps. Withthese primary goals in mind, we conceived of an ECE Design course that would: ≠ Require students to apply material from their core ECE courses, ≠ Require material from at least one advanced core courses (since the core sequence requires 4 out of 5 available slots in a typical
