Inaddition to using prototypes in the traditional way, that is, to iterate and test an idea and to meetand verify design and engineering challenges, professional designers use prototypes throughoutthe development process1,4,5. Prototypes help designers to frame the design problem and askspecific questions in order to gain valuable insight into stakeholders’ needs3. In this way,designers' use of prototypes helps to facilitate a deeper understanding and knowledge of theproblem.In education

Several studies have investigatedhow first year undergraduate engineering students in particular, approach design problemsolving, and their interpretation and knowledge of engineering design [4-7]. These studies usedvarious methods to evaluate students’ design thinking including pre- and post-tests associatedwith group design projects in a classroom setting [4], pre- and post-essay response critiques oftwo design plans [5], gender differences in students’ attempts to evaluate design factors [6], andshort essay

Of course,experienced structural engineers know that a solid conceptual understanding of the underlyingstructural mechanics and behavior are far more useful, where engineering judgement must beused alongside design specifications. This is especially true for the ever increasing amount ofautomation offered by structural analysis and design software packages. New engineering gradswho learn only to “plug and chug” specification equations for textbook problems will be lesscreative and will be ill-prepared to interpret computer results and make important decisions withthe aid of computer generated designs.It can be

In simple terms, the educational valueproposition of an engineering college might read “provide the highest quality educationalexperience to the students for the least cost”, with the cost being correlated to faculty workloadand institutional resources, for example. Inefficiency in realizing such a proposition may be tiedto bureaucratic structures that sub-optimize and resist organizational change.Our interest is in the process of bringing about organizational change at a college level,understanding the tension between the departmental or local forces, the college-wide, and theoverarching system forces.

As we look to increase the general electronics literacy of stu-dents of all backgrounds, we might consider some of the ways that this course is distinct fromother introductory electrical engineering courses. First, it is centered around practical knowledgeand making, rather than first-principles understanding.

decisions are influenced by knowledge of the manufacturing process capability. Knowledge of these process capabilities also allows the designers to create, evaluate, and select design options. First hand experience with basic manufacturing processes and awareness of advanced process are necessary to be an effective designer. • Engineering mechanics – Decisions on part geometry and material affect the structural performance of the parts (e.g. stress, deflection, buckling load, natural frequency, etc.) Designers need to understand if their design will be able to meet the specified requirements.
