have proficiency in the basic languages of math and science in order toaffect the physical world. Engineers must understand phenomena on an elemental levelas they seek to pilot the laws of nature. Consider that -- the laws of nature are based onuniversal principles of order, organization, and efficiency – all basic tenets of design.Design mediates between tangible and intangible forces. It fuses the immediacy of thephysical world with the illusiveness of beauty. Design is driven by a museful urge tocreate; and, it is tempered by the physical limitations of the material world. In this paper,we explore design theory and design process in the context of art as a means to structurecreative processing into engineering curricula. Our perspective is

The Equation Activity we discuss here is the outgrowth of this desire.Previous attempts at this type of activity involved either of two common assessment methods.The program could be pre-coded with as many possible correct answers as the developers couldanticipate, and the students’ answer was checked against this list for a match. Otherwise thestudents’ equation and the correct equation could each be numerically evaluated, and thosevalues compared to within certain set tolerances. The latter is called the zero equivalenceproblem4.The mission of Project Links is to develop educational materials that link mathematical topicswith applications in engineering and science.

According to Harriman5, the key to effective curriculum is makingsure that the needs of the student, the instruction, and the delivery mechanism are allcongruent with one another. Before being able to meet the needs of the students, theinstructor must know what those needs are. Because there are many various learning styles,the curriculum has implemented one of the more popular style surveys VARK (Visual, Aural,Reading & Writing, Kinesthetic). VARK is sometimes criticized for lacking empiricalsupport but continues to remain popular in education6.The curriculum has also incorporated the Community of Enquiry Framework7 by whichpresents the concept that students participating in community engagement can
