Design in Engineering Education

Engineering Edu- cation from Purdue University (2008). Her research focuses on strategies for design innovations through divergent and convergent thinking as well as through deep needs and community assessments using design ethnography, and translating those strategies to design tools and education. She teaches design and en- trepreneurship courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on front-end design processes.Dr. Jaclyn Kuspiel Murray, University of Michigan Jaclyn K. Murray is a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

However,knowledging is reversible – knowledge decays first to informatics then to routine information asinformation overload floods communication.Undergraduate engineering must begin knowledging by stressing insight, leading to new and im-proved problem solving throughout the curriculum, culminating with more diversified capstonedesign courses. However, knowledging needs to occur all through the undergraduate curriculum,and such a responsibility will definitely challenge department and college administrators.The teaching design as explained in this paper represents a reversal of conventional professorialassignments, for the younger faculty, the X Generation, will teach the

A challenge is any event or stimulus beyond the student's ability totake on, requiring them to grow and adapt to overcome. However, challenge in excess may causethe student to regress in their development or give up altogether. Support refers to anymechanism designed to assist the student in coping with whatever challenge is present.

Characterized by its crumbly nature and high moisture content,lignite contributed to 9% of the total U.S. coal production in 2020. In the United States, the primaryuse of coal is for generating electric power. In coal-fired power plants, the combustion ofbituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, or lignite facilitates the conversion of water into high-pressure steam, ultimately generating electricity. In 2019, approximately 23 percent of thecountry’s electricity was produced through coal-fired power plants13. Beyond its role as a fuel,coal played a significant global energy role in 2020, contributing about a quarter of the
