Ifthe student does not have a clear understanding of the shape where their particular componentwill fit, then the process of design will be filled with guesswork and inefficiencies.Strengthening the Multidisciplinary Experience in Engineering GraphicsA proposed curriculum for an introductory design graphics course that is broad based andintroduces the basics of the major engineering disciplines is presented in Table 2.

of expertise inengineering design ideation. In this study, we examined engineers' designs to uncover whatheuristics they used and how they used them to better understand ways engineering designersgenerate and transition between candidate designs.Research QuestionsThe proposed heuristic model raises several key questions about the way heuristics areimplemented in conceptual design: What are the most commonly used heuristics? Does heuristicuse influence design quality? And, do certain types of heuristics, and the number of heuristicsused, increase the diversity of design ideas and the effectiveness of the concept generationprocess? In the present study, we were guided by the following research questions: ≠ What heuristics do engineering

While amain objective of the project was to provide an introduction to the engineering designprocess, the topic of renewable energy was also introduced but not addressed directlythrough lecture or assigned reading material. Gains in students’ knowledge of renewableenergy were assumed to be the result of the students’ work on the design project,particularly through the team discussions and research assignments. While many studentteams displayed a deeper understanding of renewable energy topics in their final reports,there was very little organized classroom discussion on these topics.

Schönargues that a practitioner whose knowledge is only based in rational and cognitive exercises willbe less effective than a reflective practitioner [12]. The difference between the way in whichjunior engineering students and senior engineering students approach design projects is thenumber of issues considered; however, it is difficult to understand the breadth of issues to beconsidered without first commencing a design [13].
