with ampleopportunities to practice design within the curriculum. It is estimated that 70 percent or more ofthe life cycle cost of a product is determined during design and employers find that recentengineering graduates are weak in this area [2]. Reasons for the inadequacy of undergraduateengineering design education include: weak requirements for design content in engineeringcurricula (many institutions do not meet even existing accreditation criteria); lack of trulyinterdisciplinary teams in design courses; and fragmented, discipline-specific, and uncoordinatedteaching [2].Emphasis on freshman design projects has been increasing in recent years [3-9]. These designprojects can give the students a creative outlet and are typically fun. A

A majority of IRE learning and assessment activities are organizedand indexed by the aforementioned team-based, semester-long industry projects. For example, anIRE team designed and implemented a condenser performance test to be applied to a powerplant’s power generation condenser.
