-stagetransistor amplifier circuit. Using this method, one can easily obtain a very large number (in thethousands) of possible design structures or concepts. One can then "prune” the tree and select the“best” possible design structure. This method can also be applied to other fields of engineering.1. IntroductionIn recent years, teaching engineering design is getting more attention in engineering education. Thisis due to the ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 initiatives, which have changed the way instructorsdelivered their courses. In electrical engineering, ABET requires that all electrical engineering coursesintegrate design throughout the curriculum, and now there is also a need to demonstrate outcomeassessment, and to check whether a program achieved

It was felt that the mosteffective means of changing this situation was in the long term, by exposing youngsters in thesegroups to the opportunities for careers in engineering before they make irreversible curriculumdecisions in middle school and high school.The low rate of participation of women and minorities in engineering careers is welldocumented. Roughly 25% of freshman engineering students are women, and the total numberof female freshmen is declining. According to a recent study by the National Action Council forMinorities in Education, minorities made up only 15.9% of freshman engineering students in1995, the lowest level since 1991. As a result, society is denied the services of talented peoplewho
