Student feedback collected for each course offering indicated thatstudents had a better visual and physical understanding of various steel LFRS systems byundergoing the complete cycle of design, fabrication, testing, and analysis. As a result, studentswere able to more fully comprehend consequences of their design decisions, lessons which theywill hopefully draw on in their future structural engineering career focusing on seismic design.IntroductionAn undergraduate course in structural steel design is typical in the civil (structures focus) andarchitectural engineering degree track. Common curriculum for this course is the analysis anddesign of: (i) steel and composite members subject to

for Engineering Education, 2014 Implementing Mechatronics Design Methodology in Mechanical Engineering Technology Senior Design Projects at Old Dominion UniversityIn recent years, the nature of engineering design has changed due to advances in embedded systemdesign and computer technologies. It is rare to engineer a purely mechanical design that does notincorporate electrical and electronic components. Mechanical engineers and mechanicalengineering technologists must possess a multi-disciplinary knowledge with the understanding ofboth mechanical and electrical systems. For this purpose, undergraduate programs in engineeringtechnology have added mechatronics courses to their curriculum. Mechatronics is a design processthat is

Straight translation across nichesis often not possible, and new niches need to develop their own distinctive lexicons. Tosuccessfully operate in and understand two niches, one has to become bilingual in the respectivelexicon of each niche. When direct and meaningful translation is not possible, the niches are saidto be incommensurable.This leads to the question of the potential incommensurability of the worldviews of engineeringscience (the patriarch) and engineering design (the adult child finding her voice).

For architectural engineering (AE) students, this integrative thinking comes through in theirexposure to architectural studios (Iulo et al, 2017). In general, design studios are meant to provide students with knowledge necessary to produceinnovative, creative and competent design solutions (Ibrahima and Utaberta 2012). Historically,architectural design studio models have focused on learning by doing. Schön (1984; 1985) found that mostarchitecture studios utilize active learning that is ‘reflective’ and ‘conversational’ in which the students andinstructors gradually come to understand each other.

Researchers depend on a clearly conceptualized cognitive modelthat reflects the latest understanding of how learners represent knowledge and develop expertisein the domain18. Researchers also expect alignment between the cognitive model and themethods used to observe performance as well as the protocol for interpreting results.Professional practitioners expect to see course outcomes that are responsive to the diverse rolesplayed by an engineering professional19.

Student feed-back indicates that the structure does provide connections between engineering content areas.Student feedback also indicated that the irregular integration of modules introduced significantscheduling complexity that students found detrimental to their understanding and performance;this has been addressed by developing a more regular schedule that still allows module topics tobe integrated together in the context of an overall project.Based on our initial experience, we believe that an engineering connections environment could alsobe beneficial at the junior and senior level when students participate in concentration specific andcapstone projects.

What sustainable design means in practice is a contested issue, varying betweenengineering disciplines, industry sectors and even individual practitioners. How then can we, asengineering educators, encourage and teach both current professional engineers and engineeringstudents about sustainable design.This paper reports on the results of an empirical study investigating qualitatively different waysthat sustainable design has been experienced by practicing engineers. The different ways ofexperiencing sustainable design were found using a qualitative research method known asphenomenography. This
