iterative designprocess.In summary, instructional design is a goal-oriented, learner-centered, empirical process. While itis a well-accepted practice in business and industry, military and government, its use is becomingincreasingly common in academia.4 The systematic procedures used in the design makes theinstruction more effective, efficient and relevant compared to other less stringent approaches ofinstructional planning.20 Collaborative design teams of engineers and educators working todevelop engineering education materials are uncommon.19 The promising instructional designstrategies outlined here could be generalized and applied to other engineering domains to helpengage freshman students and achieve expected learning objectives.
