Many strategies exist to generate new designsolutions, for example, analogical transfer (Dahl & Moreau, 2002), association (Hernandez,Shah, & Smith, 2010), shifting context (Shah, Smith, Vargas-Hernandez, Gerkens, & Wulan,2003) and hypothesis testing (Yilmaz, Daly, Seifert, & Gonzalez, 2015). Perhaps the mostprominent method is brainstorming, where evaluation is deferred and as many distinct ideas aspossible are generated (Osborn, 1993). Often referred

Industrial clients, of course, donot help much either. In many situations, for very little investments they make on a project givento the faculty, they expect faculty members to provide the required support for the rest of theirlives.The last factor is the view of money. In the university, faculty members acquire grants in orderto support graduate students to continue and expand their research.

While other countries such as China, India, and Singapore produce twiceas many engineers as the U.S., there are currently over 300,000+ U.S. technology-related jobsthat remain vacant due to the lack of qualified workers. This discrepancy highlights the country’surgent need for a stronger engineering pipeline if the U.S. is to remain competitive in the globalmarkets.

Students are given a scenario in the troubleshooting exercise.According to the scenario, the Stirling engine is used to mix a fluid at a given speed. We create asub-standard output by using a higher viscosity liquid at the impeller end and as well as bydecreasing the input energy. Students identify symptoms of the sub-standard system, formulatehypotheses for causes, identify faulty components, devise solutions, and validate their solutions.In this work, we describe the experimental setup and the engineering knowledge that relates tothe system.
