interests of engineering students. Generally they are lessprepared, mathematically, than previously, and not as experienced in structural visualization.2 - few engineers actually use EM professionally. Modern engineering is directed more tosystems and software analysis rather than to hardware and components.3 - those who use EM employ only a small part of the subject’s complexity. Despite teachinga host of fields: D, E, B, H, P, M, ϕ, A, modern computer solution methods generally employonly the last two of these quantities, with the others being found only for post-processingconvenience.4 - there is real curricular pressure to make room for new courses and proposals to reduce theengineering credit requirements.

The sub-projects, brieflydescribed in Table 1 below, have synergistic inter-connections. The session of Sub-Project 1 isalso an orientation session informing students that each sub-project is a stepping stone for thenext in the whole series that culminate in the final big project. The instructor makes special effortmaking students know their responsibilities but at the same time reducing their anxiety level.

The ultimategoal of abstraction is to increase the insight into the problem and also increase the solutiondomain for innovative solutions.Another example is provided to better illustrate the process of abstraction. The problem is todesign the brakes of the car. Figure 1 shows the evolution of the need statement from acolloquially expressed form to a technically precise abstract form.

Notingthat “careful attention to case selection is crucial to [a qualitative study’s] success”,(p.11)68taking engineering responses as one case and non-engineering responses as another allows for acomparison of (1) general understanding of empathy and care, (2) mechanisms for teachingempathy and care, and (3) differing viewpoints on how these fit into an engineering context.Three engineering and three non-engineering focus group sessions were conducted with a total ofseven

The DTFS course usesmultiple in-house generated projects of two week duration, while the DMS course uses 1 termlength industrial project.
