It also makes you more aware of how careful you have to be.” “By doing this project the benefits of rapid prototyping were realized. It is a relatively inexpensive way to quickly manufacture a part to see if the design actually meets the design goals.” “Despite the whistle failing to whistle I believe this project was a success in prototype design and learning from failure.”When surveyed (in retrospect) about the project, the students rated the following outcomes on ascale of 1 (not important) to 4 (very important).

The finaltopic focuses on the importance of bringing engineering communication tasks into thecurriculum and creating curriculum relevant to particular disciplines.Regarding communication skills, publications have indicated that engineers in the workplace areincreasingly required to possess solid writing and oral presentation skills. In a 1993 survey ofemployers, 70 to 80 percent indicated that communication skills are valuable in new engineers.4Other surveys have documented the need and suggested educational emphases.5 6 7 8 Additionalstudies indicate that a great deal of a practicing engineers’ time is spent communicating.

learning as an acquisition and integration process, thisis further reinforced when the concept of a spiral curriculum is also considered. Kolb (2000) in his Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) highlights the necessity ofcyclical instruction. ELT divides the learning cycle in to four phases: experiencing, reflecting,thinking, and acting. As a model for education, this process is both planned (formatted) andresponsive to the situation and content/skills being learned: activities are structured and plannedbut flexible to include individual. The cyclical nature of ELT supports this project in thenecessity of revisiting concepts at various points, over time to solidify and deepen a learner’sknowledge or concept acquisition and mastery

These outlines are being converted intotheory, laboratory, and technical-communications text material. Each of the resulting texts isbeing designed so it can be used separately or as a package. Finally, an instructor’s manual isbeing developed that will contain strategies for presenting all or a portion of the instruction-material package in part and also as an entity.A trial offering of this course is planned for the Fall of 2004.
