The selection of a particularpackage for use is accomplished mostly based on an instructor’s personal preference.The identification of a package for general departmental use is typically done by thedepartmental computer expert. Often the expert will select the package which is themost powerful, most flexible, and gives the user the widest range of options. Typi-cally some research usage has strong emphasis. However, for educational use ofundergraduates, other attributes of the package may be more important. The pack-age must have enough capabilities to solve most problems encountered in under-graduate education but it must be user friendly, must have a short learning curve,and must require only minimal user intervention

The fourcomponents of liberal education are explained in this paper and a discussion of how each of theseattributes is enhanced in the course is presented. For example, the capstone course offers a uniqueopportunity to learn about ethics (understanding contexts attribute). Because the department doesnot have a separate ethics course, a guest speaker lecture on ethics is arranged in the senior designcourse. Students apply this concept to a hypothetical scenario

IntroductionNumerous publications have emphasized the importance of technical communications skills inthe field of engineering. Results of a 1999 survey from engineering graduates who have been inthe workforce from three to five years showed that "64 percent of these engineers' overall worktime is spent on some form of communication"1. In a 2005 study based on a focus group of 50individuals representing both academic and non-academic engineers, communicationcompetency ranked as the second most important engineering attribute, behind only technicalcompetency2.

Throughthe Design Learning Simulator research, we have been exploring issues about what resources toprovide to students and how to make them available. In the Spring, 1996 quarter, the DesignLearning Simulator was implemented in a Web-based platform and included model designreports, electronic versions of class documents, resources to support team formation, resources tonegotiate project requirements, and an on-line parts catalog. During this period, we receivedgenerally positive feedback from the students through survey questions, exit interviews, andtestimonials. In this paper, we explore a

ABET has long required programs to demonstrate thattheir engineering graduates have a broad understanding of the world around them. Many programs,however, struggle to integrate an awareness of the non-technical constraints on design that includesocial, political, environmental, global, ethical and economic forces.In the past decade, there has been a movement toward integrating an entrepreneurial mindset intoengineering design 12,13,14,15,16 .

It details the psychology of prototypingfrom an engineer’s standpoint, confirming academically what had been colloquially suggested tothe authors over the course of literature research. The results of the study detail the idea ofpositive reinforcement via the use of “low fidelity”, or what we would consider functionallyscaled, prototypes. By creating a large number of scaled prototypes at a low resource cost,creators are able to rapidly conduct user evaluations of the product as well as start understandingtrends in user preference at an early stage in the process. While the impact of scaled prototypinghas been previously detailed, this supports the idea that it

Asone statistician claims, “If the research is based on [service-learning] class, or one institution, orone type of institutions, then there is less confidence in the broad conclusion that a finding holdsfor all college students”14. This negates forming a generalization from the data from which broadconclusions can be drawn24.
