In the engineering mechanics course the design process encompasses thefollowing activities, all of which must be completed [11]:(a) Problem definition and understanding the objectives. By this step students need tounderstand the required tasks without any misinterpretations. Students usually spend a weekafter posting the design problem studying the objectives they need to achieve.(b) Market analysis and literature search.

Treating these as guidelines, the learning objectives of the course were organized asfollows -1) Developing understanding the process of Engineering Design – understanding the problems,and constraints of design, collecting relevant information about the problem, its scope and resourcesneeded, research and document multiple approaches to the solution of problem and select anappropriate approach for solving the problem2) Developing proficiency in using the SolidWorks Design Suite - present the design ideas bycreating virtual prototypes (3D parts and assemblies) and by means of clear and industry standard 2D-drawings3

Deconstructing Engineering Design Steven H. VanderLeest Department of Engineering, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI1 AbstractPostmodernism has swept through disciplines from literature to philosophy, from politics tosociology. But what does postmodernism have to do with engineering or more specifically,engineering education? Postmodernism may be the cure to several common ills, such asstudents becoming overly reliant on engineering models or computer simulations, lack ofdiversity (both in design teams and in the designs themselves), and lack of accountability due toa belief that technology is ethically neutral. However, postmodernism also presents some
