based on the belief that teaching students how to use the designprocess increases knowledge about technology, develops capabilities in using technology, andexpands cognitive skills and critical thinking capabilities6. There is little doubt that design can bean iterative, systematic and creative problem-solving process that enhances critical thinkingability, knowledge of technical content and understanding of economic and social effects oftechnology, but not all design activities are equal. Some have argued that design as a pedagogicalmethod lacks linguistic simplicity if efforts to enhance capabilities necessary for solvinginnovative problems, as opposed to the routine, are absent from the curriculum7.Different creative capabilities, at the

in this paper.IntroductionThis paper is focused on the use of engineering and physics research-related problems used assenior capstone engineering design projects. Capstone design projects must be focused ondesign and hence are often viewed as incompatible with research projects, which may bediscovery rather than design-oriented and without concrete deliverables. In many cases,however, it is possible to find a design-related problem for an engineering or physics researchproject.The Engineering and Physics Department (EPD) at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO)has been using research-related design projects to satisfy requirements for a Senior EngineeringDesign course for several years.

The majority of our time was spent in trying to figure out what we were to find and in writing the report. Since this is a calculus class not an abstract problem solving class let us stick to calculus. If these projects are to be continued, I recommend revision to more strongly

(Guice, 2001). Add to thesepressures the "usual" pressures of acquiring research and funding, publishing scientific articles,service, and acquiring tenure. A graduate student finishing work on an engineering doctorate maynot find that academia is a very attractive career choice. In 1997, 12% of the science andengineering doctorates were awarded to women. Blacks earned 3% and Hispanics earned almost4% of all science and engineering doctorates. Accordingly, the pool of potential female andminority engineering educators is very small. Should it be important to the profession that thesefemale and minority doctoral students be retained in academia as engineering educators?

. IntroductionIn academics, there is a need for drawing the best students into engineering as well as retainingthem. One approach to doing this is to have engineering projects as part of the curriculum topique their interest in the field. Using sports related projects is a good way to accomplish thissince most of the students have some experience by either participating or as a spectator. Inaddition to delivering material that the students can relate to, multi-disciplinary projects areuseful for demonstrating how several distinct course topics are needed to solve technicalproblems.In this paper, a class project in which the students design a golf ball using LS-DYNA isdescribed. In addition to describing the way this has been done at Kettering University
