basis. This enables students to adjust their program enrolment according to theirindividual circumstances and needs as time goes on.MethodologyThe engineering residential schools run by the University of Southern Queensland served asour initial model.23 The residential schools described here were designed to include thefollowing features: 1. Increase the exposure of all students to practising engineers by inviting engineers from industry and commerce to give seminars on topics relevant to each of the units. 2. Act as capstone courses for each year. The activities and assessment tasks required students to demonstrate that they had attained the stated learning outcomes from courses in the appropriate year; 3. Enable
and sustaining arguments for their design.This structure is dependent on the CEAB requirements2 which dictate that the curriculum mustculminate in a significant design experience which is based on the knowledge and skills acquiredin earlier course work and which preferably gives students an exposure to the concepts of teamwork and project management.

Engineering CourseThere are numerous articles that describe activities and course models to increase the student’sawareness, enjoyment, and retention in engineering during the first year. At The Citadel therehas been great effort in developing a new mechanical engineering program with emphasis onnesting course design and activities with the program curriculum. The Citadel is classified as asmall school with the student population evenly split between in-state and out of state (includingmost other states and a few foreign countries). With regional needs in Power and Energy,Manufacturing, Aeronautics, Composites, and Mechatronics, the new mechanical engineeringprogram was designed with upper level focus areas to meet these needs. This new
Agricultural Engineering. Thecommittee identified several reasons for coupling the communication course with engineeringdesign, namely the lack of an appropriate communication elective at the university thatadequately served the engineering curriculum and the difficulty students had in taking theexisting communication courses until their senior year due to impacted enrollment. Othermotivations supporting the need for a hybrid communication and design course were the lack of 2hands-on design experiences offered early in the undergraduate curriculum along with persistentissues of retention in the COE programs. The committee identified core outcomes the coursewould fulfill in oral literacy and social

Page 24.948.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 On Engineering Design Education: Exposing Students to Design KnowledgeAbstract: Design is considered by most to be the central activity of engineering. Also, it isknown that engineering programs should graduate engineers who can design effectively to meetsocial and environmental needs. Though the role and perception of design across a wide range ofeducational institutions have improved markedly in recent years; however, both design facultyand design practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary. One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an
) proposeeffective solutions (reflect on an abstraction, define strategies, follow a process, apply amethodology, decompose in sub-problems), (3) manage languages in order to express a solution(do, understand, and respect syntax), (4) use tools to understand the languages (program,compile, execute, debug), (5) test valid solutions (understanding the concept of correction andtesting), and (6) justify decisions (measuring, increasing), among others. We propose toincorporate the design process into the course as a tool for students to solve real-life problemsrelated to programming concepts. Therefore, the research question guiding this study is: What isthe effect of incorporating the engineering design process in students’ performance in anintroductory
constraints are very important for first-year engineering students and are also emphasizedin the course. Students are taught that the design process requires an open mind, and awillingness to fail. Efficient time use is important, since usually the first design solutions, orprototypes, are not the best design options and improvements must be made. As part of this first-year engineering course, students create Gantt Charts and a project management plan. Thisassists student in staying on track in meeting the project and course goals, and in using the coursetime efficiently. Their time in lab may be the only time that the whole team can meet togetherand have access to the lab equipment. It is also important that the team works effectivelytogether. An

Some scholars have appliedtraditional management theories of leadership to the engineering context, such astransformational leadership [25], or servant leadership [26].
