1 devised a clever way to involve freshman engineering students in designthrough the design/redesign of paper clips. Using minimal resources and with minimalprerequisites, students were exposed to the compromises involved in the design of a real product 1 .In another example, Latcha and Oakley 2 describe a Capstone course where students design andconstruct toys or games. This course exposes students to the severe economic constraints oneffective toys and gives them the opportunity to have their designs presented to industry.Both of these project examples involve teaching practices that are recognized throughout thegreater community of educators as high-impact practices 3 . Design project work, especially withconstruction, requires that

For example, some students may not operate equipmentuntil they are required to utilize the various pieces of equipment for their capstone design project,while for others it may occur as part of a second-year manufacturing class. In either case, thatfirst
