This work presents a strategy to introduce students tothe relevant issues before senior design coursework, thereby providing practice and enablingthem to achieve such a program outcome more skillfully in senior level classes.

These initiatives have met with some success and are proliferating into many engineering schools. Despite their success, they have not addressed one key issue in transforming engineering education: extending the pedagogical and motivational advantages of design-based courses to theory-based engineering courses, which constitute the majority of the coursework in a typical engineering degree, and in which traditional pedagogical approaches are still predominant” (p. 17).The culmination of
