The vehicle chosen is a course taughtby the Electrical Engineering program for non-engineering and non-science/math majorsentitled, "Engineering 2 - Introduction to Electro-Technology" which is taught every Springsemester. This new technology course is unique in that it fulfills the General Education PhysicalScience requirement for non-engineering and non-science/math majors. The goal of Engineering2 are:1. Provide an additional opportunity for General Education study in science and technology in the liberal arts curriculum which develops the foundation sciences necessary to understand the nation of fundamental technical applications.2.

The course was designed to address the policy,economic, and societal issues of energy, in order to complement the more technical coursesrequired as part of the undergraduate certificate. In order to minimize any additional credit hoursrequired of students pursuing the certificate, the course was also designed to fit within theUniversity’s new General Education requirements as a “Global Dynamics” course. The course isalso well suited to cover the broader “impacts” of engineering as required by ABET.

During this period, China'sengineering education mainly used European and American education model, and was mainlyengaged in "general education", to enable students to obtain a solid basic theory.After 1949, China's engineering education structure has undergone the followingdevelopment process:(1) Large-scale faculty adjustment and subject classification stage (1949-1960). This stage took cultivating "engineers" as the goal, and the undergraduate system changed from 4 years to 5 years, some 6 years.

Simon’s “problem space”12). Some ideas in this space are easy tofind because they are obvious, or they have been seen before in existing products. Other, lessobvious ideas require more effort to identify. Ideally, this search for less obvious ideas wouldentail visiting all feasible ideas in the design space. The resulting set of design solutions is betterinformed by understanding all possibilities.Novice and experienced designers often struggle with divergent thinking13. Sometimes,limitations in technology or technical expertise make it difficult to generate multiple differentsolutions to a design problem. Often, novices struggle to think of solutions that differ fromexisting products or examples. Attempts at diverging from these solutions either
