The questionis, however, how can one perform a complete overhaul of a particular curriculum whilemaintaining the integrity of the content. For engineering educators, it seems only fitting to looktowards the engineering design process. The same principles of engineering design can

These journals are intended to catalyze student reflectionand thus enhance student understanding, retention, and capacity for future application of coursecontent. An invaluable side-effect of the journals is continuous feedback that enables real-timeadjustments to course schedule and pedagogy.

Problem solving in the Engineering/Technology practice is usually directed to thedesign of products or processes, and this connection makes the teaching of engineering problemsolving a natural part of design classes. In recent years new undergraduate courses have beenimplemented that expand creative thinking in engineering design by including solving problemand project based-learning [1].
