Theprocess is illustrated in Fig. 3. The start point is a user design in the form of a Simulink® model.When the user initiates a ‘build’ command, the Real Time Workshop automatically generates thecorresponding C code, as well as a ‘makefile’ which defines how to compile this code into a real-time executable.

Furthermore, engineers must apply their knowledge in complex situations thatextend far beyond the borders of the classroom.Engineering in the real world is more than number crunching. It involves making decisions suchas making the appropriate assumptions, model simplification, material/size selection, costanalysis, etc. As a result, with the current lecture approach, students may learn to solve problemsand follow preset rules for a well-defined problem but lack the ability to transfer that learninginto additional situations. In particular, they may fail to see the connection between solving aproblem mathematically and real-world engineering application. Following the tenets of

The “Internet” was developed by scientists and researchers at DARPA in 1962,long before most people had any concept of what a computer was or could do2. Primarily usedfor research, this resource saw no real change for 30 years. In 1990’s the “World Wide Web”was developed by a group of people who worked on different components of this newtechnology to make the WWW a reality2.

Adaptive expertise, theability to apply technical knowledge creatively and flexibly to unfamiliar challenges, isincreasingly essential for addressing complex, real-world engineering problems. This studyfocuses on how structured coaching and iterative prototyping facilitate the cultivation of adaptiveexpertise, aligning with Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle and key ABET outcomes.Motivation: First-year engineering courses are pivotal in equipping students with foundationaltechnical skills and problem-solving abilities.

Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems

throughcollaboration between these objects, with the objects sending messages to each other. The keytheme of OOAD is that objects represent encapsulated sets of services (data plus functions)performed by the system. System requirements are represented in terms of interacting objects.That is, both the world of the client, and the world of the developer are modeled in terms ofobjects that collaborate with each other. One of the strengths of the OOAD approach is the lackof real distinction between problem analysis and solution design [5].Benefits of Object-Orientation: 1. Problem domain is modeled in terms of real-world objects. 2. Technology is designed to support abstraction, encapsulation, and generalization. These are key to managing complexity and

Therefore a new course curriculum was designed and developed toincorporate service design as a key component of the curriculum. The course contentswere delivered via traditional text book and lecture method as well as case studies anddiscussions. Many real world applications were studied to identify service productopportunities for traditional
