analysis and design the students must understand are at timesoverwhelming, but when students are given a chance to design devises that have an immediatereal-world application, they are motivated to progress in unimaginable ways.Despite the high resistance from both students and educators, the ideas behind discovery learningare getting more and more accepted, as industry begins seeking employees who are betterproblem-solvers and independent workers. Producing graduates capable of designing high-qualityproducts is the ultimate goal of engineering education. However, the resources necessary tosupport good design education are underestimated by schools and universities. This leads to weakdesign curriculum and ill-prepared engineering graduates. The

Toconclude a competency, a student completes an oral exam with the instructor for an average timeof one hour. In order to graduate in two years, a student needs to complete eight technicalcompetencies per semester in addition to seven credits of professionalism, design and seminar.IRE students must take 3 credits of design each semester and work closely with their teammatesto complete their projects.

It was emphasized to the evaluators that for researchpurposes their assessment of the participants needed to be genuine and unbiased. The evaluatorsconsidered the following five factors in assessing each team: understanding of problem statement,information and knowledge gathering, idea generation, design tradeoff, and idea and designiterations (see Appendix 2). The evaluators individually rated each of these factors for each teamon a scale of 100 (see Appendix 3 for the evaluation rubric adapted from [36]).

Consequently in these settings, only asurface level understanding of their value is realized [2]. Many engineering students do not know how toapproach large complex systems due to their exposure to idealistic examples [3]. Additionally, they notcapable of providing critical multi-disciplinary integration of their designs due to the isolated nature oftopics in the classroom [4] [5].

Consideration was made in thedesign of the course to ensure smooth transfer to both mechanical engineering programs as wellas civil engineering programs, which often have different requirements for engineering graphics.The course is broken into three components: technical sketching, 2D CAD, and 3D CAD. In thetechnical sketching portion of the course, the general concepts of engineering graphics arecovered including projections, visualization, dimensioning, and working drawings. This portionis not only designed to give students the foundation of engineering graphics before transitioningto computer
