in the way ofsynthesis. For example, marketing departments of business schools teach new product development coursesthat offer great detail about marketing research requirements but provide little if anything about design andmanufacturing aspects. Existing educational approaches are especially inadequate as they relate to productdevelopment, since the educational needs in this area extend beyond the boundaries of traditionally separatedisciplines. Courses, in fact entire programs, that focus on the importance of treating the product realization process 5as an integrated system are being developed at universities throughout the

Second, weexplore different engineering education curriculums for use in the elementary classroom.Finally, we examine the use of drawings to explicate student understanding of engineering. Student Misconceptions about Engineers. Trevelyan (2019) states that “engineers arepeople with technical knowledge and foresight who conceive, plan, and organize delivery,operation, and sustainment of man-made objects and systems. These objects and systems enablepeople to do more with less effort, time, materials, energy, uncertainty, health risk, andenvironmental disturbances” (paragraph 5). However, many

Since the center’s beginningin 1991, nearly 100 students have participated and 239 manufacturing facilities have beenstudied.I. IntroductionEngineering education is always enhanced when students have an opportunity to be involvedwith engineering practice, and with the present demand for engineering graduates, there aremany ways students can gain engineering experience prior to graduation. In today’s economyfuture employers routinely seek out students for co-op programs, internships and summeremployment. In addition
