The process of integrating one’sdesign with the work of others is sometimes a difficult task and one which many young engineersfind difficult and so we felt that it was important that the product engineering design project placethis additional requirement on the students.In addition the Elements of Mechanical Design course included a significant amount of laboratorymaterial on metrology including the use of precision measurement hand tools as well ascoordinate measuring machine (CMM). This material is felt to be important to give the studentsan appreciation of tolerancing and impart an understanding of how parts with complex geometriesfit together

In both lectures and workshops, faculty stress the importance of concepts that design and communication have in common—that both are processes; that in both processes, writers and designers keep

our previouscurriculum because even though students took computer programming, CAD, and geomatics, theskills and tools they learned in these courses were not used much if at all until their last semesterin senior design. Students had to get themselves back up to speed with these skills and toolswhile working on their senior design project. This led the senior design projects to be scaledback to allow time to build back up the skills and tools needed to complete senior design.Another concern with the previous curriculum is that there was a general feeling from the facultythat Nebraska graduates were good, competent engineers but needed more development ofcritical thinking skills. The faculty wanted them to better understand how civil

Engineering computations regardingthe designed components are usually performed at workstations clustered at yet another location.In our experience, because of the fragmented way we teach design, students do not receiveadequate faculty supervision as they practice the design process. We believe that without a closeand focused partnership with the faculty, students receive an incoherent design education thatlimits their understanding of the design process as a multi-level interdisciplinary activity.Challenge II) Time Constraints - Many schools offer capstone design courses with great depthand multidisciplinary components2-5.
