The class is teamtaught, with the author covering the Wobbler portion of the course. Students in this requireddesign course are in their first semester, and are typically taking a material science course,calculus, and chemistry at the same time. Only ME students take this course, with each of theother WKU engineering programs offering discipline-specific design courses in the first semesteras well. The freshman design courses in the other disciplines have projects that can becharacterized by the three attributes above, but they use

Past studies have shown that whileengineering instructors value creativity, they believe it to be lacking in their students, while atthe same time current engineering students do not think that creativity is valued by theirprofessors1. Similarly, while there is a greater industry emphasis on recruiting creative engineersand a greater interest in creativity from new engineering students, related literature questionswhether or not postsecondary institutions are teaching creative thinking to their engineeringstudents1.

Evidence suggests that female students can lose their interests inmath and science and eventually choose careers far from engineering around the age of ten totwelve. Results in the ratio between male and female engineers are quite large [2]. Therefore,introducing students to the exciting potential of engineering at an early age is of significance.A student’s choice of an academic track or career in engineering mainly depends on the studenthaving gained positive experience associated with the field during middle school or

Consider that -- the laws of nature are based onuniversal principles of order, organization, and efficiency – all basic tenets of design.Design mediates between tangible and intangible forces. It fuses the immediacy of thephysical world with the illusiveness of beauty. Design is driven by a museful urge tocreate; and, it is tempered by the physical limitations of the material world.

Asunda and Hill (2008) studiedthe professional development for tech ed teachers and teacher educators around engineering andobserved that hands on engineering experiences is a key factor of importance to participants inworkshops. Infusing the nature of engineering knowledge in tech ed classrooms should thereforebe centered on reflection on engineering design experiences that draw out and debrief features ofengineering knowledge. This strategy for teaching about the epistemology of engineering hasbeen found to be effective in teaching about the nature of engineering (Deniz et al., 2020

Most ofthe subjects lacking in EET programs would be covered in the core curriculum of atraditional EAC of ABET program of the past.
