These in turn have a direct effect on the safety and environmental compatibilityof the plant or unit in subsequent operation.”3. An Approachable Process Model. The two-step FEED-Solution (F-S) design process modelis simple for students to understand, and as such, it is very likely to improve student learning. InFigure 2, we show the F-S model for the case of market pull. Since the market is the driver ofthis process, we refer to it as market driven. This is distinct from the case in which an invention(technology push), a spin-off (from say R&D), or public policy is the driver. None of thereferenced engineering design texts teach this F-S model

There is a need for deeper understanding ofeffect of energy efficiency on component/system design, the environment, and their longterm sustainability. Therefore, current programs need to evolve by infusing these subjectsin the curriculum and laboratory practices. In most engineering technology programs, thetopics are introduced informally in one or more courses. Sustainability is an essentialelement of learning in any technical field [6,7,8], and an integrated approach to teach theconcepts and practices from fundamental to advanced senior-level courses is moreprudent in reforming engineering technology curricula.This paper presents an initiative on integrated teaching of energy

These requirements stem from a fundamental need forengineers to understand and carry out the design process and the requirements areunlikely to change in the foreseeable future. ABET criteria do not allow substitution ofresearch for design in an engineering program. What is the difference between researchprojects and design projects and why doesn’t ABET allow the substitution? Theobjective of this paper is to review the rationale for the design requirement in the ABETcriteria; review the differences between design and research; and to propose questionsthat can be used to differentiate between a research

MechanicalEngineering Design. Students in Site Design are taught the design process in class and thenimmediately use these concepts to conduct an in-class example. Students are expected to applythe design process again to an out-of-class Engineering Design Project (EDP). This initialportion of the course is very similar to the 2008 offering of Mechanical Engineering Design inthat students learn the design process, apply it to an in-class example, and then use it again tocomplete an out-of-class project. Dr. Joseph Hanus teaches Site Design and explains that:“students must have all three parts in order to fully understand the design process. If you simplyteach them the design process, but don‟t do the in-class example, they do not perform well on theEDP. If you

In order to monitor studentprogress in acquiring a proficiency and knowledge in several areas, a short survey wasadministered on the first day of classes. The main purpose of this tool was to establish a baselevel of knowledge about the Engineering Design process, individual Engineering disciplines aswell as basic understanding of Sustainable Development. Sample questions from this survey follow:What do you think Civil Engineers do?What do you think Environmental Engineers do?What do you think Mechanical Engineers do?What do you think are the main responsibilities of the Design

between disciplines. For example, electrical and computer engineers often use flow charts as an initial specification for hardware and software systems; whereas mechanical engineers use drawings and risk analysis. Ø Despite the fact that each member has special knowledge and skills within a discipline, each person should develop an appreciation for or understanding of the major design elements under the purview of other disciplines. Meeting system-level, multidisciplinary design requirements may require an integration of information across the disciplines.Although student observations point to the importance of acquiring knowledge and skills in otherdisciplines, we have found that skill development via the avenues of

In this vein it may not be surprising that theinstructor’s expectations would be beyond simply the performance of the prototype; elementsthat may be reflected in their evaluation of the prototype. Regardless, we believe the ACJprocess/system can be a valuable research tool to study and better inform the practices andprocesses of education related to engineering design. Further exploration around the similarities and differences in student, instructor, andpracticing professionals through ACJ may yield meaningful findings related to best-practices forpedagogy.
