non mechanical engineering majors hada positive experience in Introduction to Design. Again the lowest rating was a 3.65 in increasingthe abilities to communicate orally and in writing, and the highest rating was a 4.27 forunderstanding the engineer thought process. The mechanical engineering students rated eachcategory slightly higher. It is at this point in the mechanical engineering major’s curriculum thatthe student is engaged in various laboratory courses and is taking courses in an area of interest(automotive or aeronautic courses). Their motivation to learn is quite high since the material inME401 is relevant to their other courses. With the non-engineering major taking more coursesthat exercise writing and communication skills, it is

Built to the given specifications and loadingcondition, none of the materials that were tested in the tensile test laboratory would meet therequirements. This was intentional, because it created a meaningful design experience for thestudents. In the report for this phase of the project, the students needed to recommend a change tothe specifications, namely the cable diameter, that would allow a cable made from the identifiedmaterial to meet all of the requirements. It is important to note that the students were provided atemplate for this report and were instructed to write a full technical report detailing the

Thefirst year of the project was successful in that the student teams were able to design workingcomponents that functioned together in a system to generate electricity, and the experiencegenerated several lessons-learned that will be used to enhance the experience for the next class offreshmen. The paper will discuss the scope of the design problem and the resulting designsolutions, the lessons learned, and the improvements for the second cycle of the project.IntroductionAs systems become more multidisciplinary, the graduating engineer is expected to work moreoften with experts outside their own domain.

The course that this design exercise was used in is a course in the Systems Engineering department of theUnited States Naval Academy that provides students with theoretical and practical aspects of closed-loop control.Fundamentals of statistical measurements, sensors, motors, motor drivers, and closed-loop control are all subjectsthat are introduced in the classroom and reinforced in the laboratory through several practical experiments. Thus,the subject matter of the course provides a near perfect environment for an applied design project. Furthermore,all of our system engineering majors know that they must successfully
