Session 1327 Embedding Engineering Management into Product Design Education Gül E. Okudan and Richard Devon Department of Engineering Design and Graphics The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802Abstract __ This paper first discusses the evolution of the Introduction to Engineering Designand Graphics course (ED&G 100) at the Pennsylvania State University from a skill developmentcourse to a product design oriented course. Then, it focuses on embedding engineeringmanagement subjects to the course due to new
class- rooms across education levels. Combined with a CAD design task, as well as argumentation scaffold, her research project aims to help students develop better argumentation skills as well as informed de- sign decision-making skills. She has implemented this project in two middle schools in the Indiana’s Tippecanoe county, a Physics course for pre-service teachers at Purdue University, and summer camps for Engineering Minority Program at Purdue University.Dr. Tugba Karabiyik, Purdue University, West Lafayette Dr. Tugba Karabiyik is an interdisciplinary postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University.

The loop is closed by requiring each team to test their prototype based ondesign requirements developed earlier in the design process.In the summer of 2006, the College of Engineering and the College of Business Administrationoffered their first course in a new Master of Engineering Management (MEM) program. Aunique aspect of this program is the MEM 625/626 course sequence. In this pair of courses,MEM graduate students become project managers for the senior design teams in theundergraduate, multidisciplinary senior design course described above. This has had numerousbenefits for both programs. Undergraduates are now given an experience

Peer Project Management for Capstone Design TeamsAbstractThe mechanical and mechatronic engineering programs at California State University Chicoconclude with a robust, externally funded, two-semester capstone design experience. Students inboth majors work in interdisciplinary teams on year-long design projects sponsored by industrialpartners. Project teams are assigned a faculty advisor whose role [1] is multi-faceted, but doesnot include day-to-day project management or responsibility for project success.Design projects in industry typically have an assigned project manager (PM) with responsibilityfor overall project success as well as a lead role in initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,and controlling the project
