These are team-taught by faculty from engineering and writing.In first quarter of EDC, students are introduced to design and communication in a brief hands-on project; then, for the remainder of the quarter, four-person student teams design web sitesfor real clients that address real campus and community needs. These projects introducestudents to the various stages of design. Students are coached in a user-centered approach todesign, and learn a number of analytical tools and project management techniques. The projectsculminate in three deliverables for clients and faculty: a prototype web site, a written report, andan oral presentation. Clients tend to be campus departments, research groups, and studentorganizations; EDC students have

However, there should beagreement that a balance of case studies, live projects from industry, and other vehicles for thedelivery of engineering education will result in the effective development of essential engineeringskills.Unfortunately, potential users of case studies may be

Providing anexcellent understanding of technologies and their principles will have a two-fold effect.First, the children will understand the what and hows of technology and second, they willbe better able to assess what are good or bad technology implementations. Remember, itis children who work and not the technologies (Ramsey, 2001).Our mission is to provide them with the best education that will enable them to use theirknowledge of technologies to the best of their abilities.
