problem framing; instructors may introduce toomany constraints as a means to make grading feasible [24]. Alternatively, when problems areunder-constrained, students may flounder amidst too many decisions [25, 26]. And, even whendesign projects are ill-structured, students may not recognize their roles in framing problems.Thus, understanding more about students’ responses to a range or realistic design challenges caninform engineering education researchers and practitioners on ways to provide increasedopportunities for students to develop problem framing capacity.MethodologyWe investigated how students perceived engineering projects as part of an intramural experience.Using a pre/post design, we sought to answer the following research questions

impact the ways these teachers address the frameworks in their classrooms. Previousresearch in this area has shown that perceptions about engineering and technology can changepositively after preservice teachers took on their own design projects1. Little, however, is knownabout the design processes that teachers use in such projects. Additionally, there is a significantlack of research in this area regarding inservice teachers. Knowing more about these processes,as well as effective methods of supporting teachers during the learning process, will help toinform teacher education efforts.This paper outlines a research project aimed at developing an understanding of the designprocess of inservice teachers.

Mechanical engineers have several car competitions.Chemical engineers work a common design project. It was felt that a similar competition couldbe of value to our profession and to our students by providing a common theme on which tocompete, and understand what to improve upon if necessary in future competitions. It couldprovide good publicity, and generate an esprit des corps amongst our students.Recommendations: As a result of this meeting, and the discussions held, it was felt that thefollowing items should be addressed:1.

ConclusionStudents in project-based engineering design and manufacturing face a variety of safety issuesdue to the diverse nature of design projects undertaken each semester. We use an on-line systemfor providing basic safety training to students and documenting the results. Understanding thesafety guidelines helps engineering students to recognize and evaluate safety issues in differentphases of their design projects. Furthermore, the policies help instructors to recognize safetyissues in multidisciplinary design projects.We try to make sure that following safety

Goals and prerequisites Most of the students in the course have some background in communications engineering. Thegoal of the course is to build on the students’ knowledge of conventional radio systems toestablish proficiency as SDR design engineers. This includes building an understanding of thetechnologies that underlie SDR including hardware and software technologies and architectures.Furthermore, the student must learn design challenges, design methods

They must knowthe assumptions that limit the regions of application, for example, laminar or turbulent flow,horizontal or vertical tubes, etc. Also, they should acknowledge the uncertainty in the modelstructure and the danger in extrapolation beyond the data used in model building; a goodexample is reaction rate expressions, whose structure as well parameters are uncertain.

In addition, the text coversdifferent phases involved in developing and marketing the product based on the selected design.The chapters on product development are not covered, as the emphasis of the course is to teachthe design process.
