While pursuing their careers, technology andengineering students will soon realize that the development of creative problem solvingskills is fundamental for success in today’s
programs it has become a challenge to adapt to thesesuggested changes at a fast pace. One of the challenges is to provide a fast track toproject/design engineering while providing the strong fundamental engineering education andsolid preparation in design, analysis and evaluation in a four year program. However, it is toour advantage to meet the challenge, it is critical to the success of our engineering graduates intheir professional careers to “hit the mark” and meet industry’s expectations.While there is not a universal definition of design; it is paramount to realize that engineeringdesign brings new products/processes/systems and subsystems to the specialized consumer orthe global market seeking to improve health, well-being, safety
