In this paper, we present all aspects of this successful experience ofimplementing ABET strategies in the engineering classroom to maximize its reach and potentialimpact.To meet these objective and, thus, satisfy the ABET requirement to enhance the contentknowledge of engineering design courses, the following project was assigned in our senior levelmachine design class. Students had four weeks to complete this project and turn in their finaldesign. In the meantime, topics regarding dynamic load effects on the shaft and bearing designswere elaborated upon and discussed in the classroom to advance students knowledge and to helpthem develop an intuitive understanding of the relevance of these topics alongside

Though this isa natural inclination of many engineering programs, the college has a desire to produce engineersthat have a better understanding of how their career affects the public.

Proceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering Education Introduction and Motivation A typical reaction of students and faculty members that are not familiar with the field ofproduct design and development is that practicing engineers that work in product developmentprojects in the “real world” do not have to be substantially involved in the process of identifyingthe customer requirements. However, in the current competitive environment in which completecustomer satisfaction is the ultimate goal of any product, that is definitely not the case. In orderto understand this situation, it is important to take time

In the toaster design we chose to use, control is based on temperature via theresponse of a bimetallic strip designed to change shape (curve) as the strip is heated. Certainly,this is not the best of toaster designs, but toasters so made are relatively inexpensive and do offera wealth of opportunity in terms of design discussion. The understanding of bimetallic stripdesign for use in toaster control mechanisms is also complimentary to a graphing problem weuse on shape memory alloys. Students

Walkthrough’AbstractEngineering and design students are often required to evaluate their products against userrequirements, but frequently, these requirements are abstracted from the user or context of userather than coming from actual user and context data. Abstraction of user requirements makes itdifficult for students to empathize with the eventual user of the product or system they aredesigning. In previous research, Design Heuristics have been shown to encourage exploration ofdesign solutions spaces at the initial stages of design processes. This study combines use ofDesign Heuristics in an engineering classroom context with a method designed to connectstudents with an understanding the context of the user, product use setting, and socioculturalmilieu.
