there has been an important evolution in the teaching of Graphic Design in technicaldegrees. New incoming technologies have been essential in this evolution, determining to a greatextent both the teaching and learning processes of this subject. Besides this, the steep rise in thenumber of students in engineering degrees is starting to make traditional strategies look outdated,such as using physical models, where students can manipulate these with their hands, turning ituntil they understand them and are able to develop plans to sketch them. This made us planmethodologies to reduce physical models and seek new methods aimed at students who can learnthrough new computer technologies that they are already used to.Justification and AimsIn the

A significant time investment isdevoted to becoming proficient in the use of one or more CAD software and othermodelling packages, in the design, production and modification of products for designand manufacture. The creative use of CAD software, depends greatly on the userscognitive

attention is placed on gathering data about the best-practices of CAD usage for conceptual design (Conceptual CAD) across these generations, withan ancillary aim to understand if usage of Conceptual CAD can motivate the development ofmore innovative products and if updates to the current education of CAD needed to match thenorms of industry.1 Product design is defined as the process of ideating, designing and fabricating a product for users (Oxford)2 Industrial design (a branch of product design), integrates art and engineering for mass product development (Reeder,Kevin)3 Conceptual design generation is defined as the initial step in the prototyping of a final product (Slack, Nigel et al)2.0 Background and Literature Review2.1 Education of
practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary. One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an engineering problembut, rather, an optimal or acceptable solution leading to a final design, presented as the bestpossible balance between technical as well as non-technical constraints. These non-technicalconstraints, typically involve: economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byenlarge, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the scientific method.”Students’ vision

Students are provided with only a text file of the proposed plan of one of the futurecampus buildings. Students are divided into groups of two to four and required to use theircombined imaginations and engineering abilities to produce a design that meets the minimumexpectations outlined by the instructor. On the last day of class, students showcase their finaldesigns in a poster presentation. Grades are assigned by invited guests. Surveys, feedback fromthe judges, and performance by

University of Bridgeport. In order to have hands-onexperience, a laboratory is necessary for our engineering students with their interest in thesustainable energy as well as smart grid. A course, Sustainable Energy Laboratory, was proposedby the school’s curriculum committed and it is offered in the Spring semester, 2011. In thiscourse, a series of experiments are designed on the operating and testing of solar panels, windturbine, fuel cell. Moreover, experiments on power electronics and data acquisition aredeveloped to optimize the utilization of different energy sources. Finally, simulation on smartgrid power system and hybrid power system will help the students understand the challenges inthe use of sustainable energy resources
engineers choose and/or design components 4. an understanding of how engineers design to avoid failure 5. the ability to communicate mechanical concepts better 6. and an improved mechanical intuition.This list includes broad goals that are both difficult to teach as well as to learn in the traditionalclassroom setting. As a result, we sought to borrow from the Kolb’s experiential learning modelthat is shown in Figure 1 to address these objectives from a variety of standpoints. In brief, Kolb1proposes that students must engage in four distinct learning activities to properly gain knowledgein a given area. Often learning initiates at the top of the cycle with concrete experiences (step 1)from which the students is guided to observations and

Integrated circuit design has become socomplex that the teams are very large and draw on geographically distributed specialists.

technical criteria. The proposed norms includecultural appropriateness, stewardship, trust, open communication, and others3. Norms areguidelines or principles that guide behavior – in this case, guidelines for holistic design oftechnology. Unless the engineer recognizes the context in which technology is placed, she willnot understand the full implications of embedding a specific technological product with acultural and societal framework. Design norms are powerful tools for explicitly recognizing thecontext of technology during the design process. They put the designer in the shoes of the user.Furthermore, they force the designer to consider all stakeholders in a design, not just thosepaying for it.The norms also underscore the non-neutrality of
