In 1994, Shenhar [16] proposed a systems engineering education curriculum consisting of:basic studies (math, computer science, etc.), cross-disciplinary studies (hardware, software, etc.),engineering systems and technologies (introduction to a wide set of diverse systems),management studies (operations, project management, production, etc.) and system engineeringconcepts (architecture, holistic and system thinking, case studies, etc.). Similarly, Walther andRadcliff [17], in their study on competency gaps between academia and industry, surmised thatuniversity curricula should teach a more holistic view of engineering which will lead to “acentral competence which could be

The initial areas of focus for laboratory course development are:Introduction to Engineering, Engineering Graphics, Materials Science, and Circuit Analysis.CALSTEP will also develop alternative models of flipped classroom instruction to improvestudent success and enhance student access to engineering courses that otherwise could not besupported in traditional delivery modes due to low enrollment. The project will also evaluate theeffectiveness of the curriculum and train other community college engineering faculty in theeffective use of the

Thereal-world problems engineers face are interdisciplinary and complex, requiring a group ofindividuals offering different backgrounds and areas of expertise to solve them. As a result,group projects requiring teams have become a staple in engineering curriculum [21].

instructors have used flipped-classroomapproaches and take-home resources, so that students could continue learning throughout hands-on activities and team-based projects [2].Regardless of schools’ efforts to provide continuity of instruction, there is a widely sharedconcern about the impact of the pandemic on students’ well-being [2], [4]. By not being able tointeract with staff and peers regularly, students take the burden of continuing their studies ontheir own shoulders [4]. This has particularly affected engineering students, who haveexperienced high levels of stress and time pressure even before the pandemic [5], [6].

This paper presents thebenefits of makerspace-hosted design courses, highlighting three models that illustrate the abilityof a higher education makerspace to improve design education.Design Education: History and ChallengesThe importance of design as a component of engineering education is stressed in Fiesel’s (et al.)description of engineering as “a hands-on profession where doing is key.”1 According to Fiesel, akey aspect of the profession is to design, analyze, and build creations that harness and modifyenergy, materials, and information to solve problems and improve humanity’s standard of living.The
