continuedinto their working careers. Is this what our society wants our schools to convey? In addition,our future scientists miss the excitement of discovery and research in their youth. Our scientistslose the opportunity in their youth of playfully exploring strategies and developing the enquiringattitude that a technical society requires. This system of memorization is disastrous.The thrust to accelerate math education provides another opportunity for disaster. Why shouldparents take the chance that their children will obtain a better introduction to calculus in K-12than will be provided in a college calculus course? If the only consideration is that the studentswill be memorizing a more advanced subject, then it may make no difference. What is

In addition, many of the assignments include design problems that require thestudents to propose alternatives that would result in a better performance at a lower cost.The issues related to manufacturing and cost are addressed in this course by focusing primarilyon designer-controlled elements that influence product design complexity, efficiency, andquality. Many of these issues have been a subject of research by the first author1-3 for severalyears, and have made a natural transition from research to education arena.The design activities culminate in this course with a fairly comprehensive design project with

As noted by other researchers and educators [7, 8] metacognition and reflectionare valuable tools in developing one’s understanding of oneself and internalizing learning.While many of the assignments encourage reflection and evaluation, we also point students toother resources to help them think about themselves as engineers. We have found the CourseraMOOC “Learning How to Learn” [9] particularly helpful in addition to other shorter exercises.Many of these resources are not required as part of the course itself but are encouraged forfurther reflection and success in subsequent
