on learning in both settings, to the larger conversation onlearning and conceptual understanding. A more involved analysis of how students speak aboutlearning in the classrooms compared to learning outside the classroom may provide insight onspecific recommendations for developing learning strategies informed by learning in out ofclassroom settings which may be of interest to engineering educators. Once a more completemodel is created, we could more easily compare and contrast with existing theory.

To appease those who continued to hold basic quantitative expectationsregarding engineering curricula, EC 2000’s architects agreed to retain a basic, quantitativedefinition of engineering curricula—a year of math and science, a year-and-a-half of“engineering topics,” a half-year of integrated design experience, and a general educationcomponent (no longer quantitatively specified) designed to round out the technical curricula.

. This project design limits design decisions tomember lengths and thicknesses (number of popsicle sticks) and their arrangement in a trussform, effectively emphasizing truss analysis to achieve an optimal design. In the redesign of thecourse cardboard is used as the primary building material because of its simple form andflexibility to take on different shapes. Working with malleable sheet material opens up the designspace to allow more creativity and, in so doing, generates greater uncertainty in what the finaldesign will look like.Design NotebooksStudents must maintain a design notebook throughout the projects, documenting their progressthrough the design process. 1.1 STORY The local science and engineering museum has signed up to participate

Engineering Education, 2006 The Effects of Computer Automation on the Design Development Process in ArchitectureAbstractComputer automation and information technology has changed the design development processin architecture. Students no longer use a transparent, linear design process facilitated through thecraft of hand drawing. Instead, the design process has become increasingly fragmented andhidden through the use of this new technology. The dilemma we face as educators is: one, howto teach and assess this new process in the context of existing ideas of how students experienceand acquire design knowledge, and two, how to prepare students who will work in a professionthat is increasing embracing the use
students experience how concepts in different computer engineering courses are related toeach other. Other highlights of the PLP system are a ‘hands-on’ experience with real hardwareearly in the computer engineering curriculum, a focus on class-wide collaboration, and anemphasis on communication.Typical PLP-based courses have a large active learning component, with instructors working onPLPTool in the classroom and students working on large projects. PLPTool is a programmingenvironment/tool in which you can write assembly code, run it, test it, and visualize it as it runson the simulated hardware. Course grades are determined through documentation of the project

(2007; 2009) provided one of the most substantial studies of the evaluationand assessment of undergraduate student interdisciplinary work, which is utilized by researchersin the humanities, sciences, and engineering. One such study examined student developmentwithin interdisciplinary programs in the humanities and sciences15. Other researchers have usedthis definition of interdisciplinary understanding to study a graduate engineering program6,8. Thisframework has also influenced a study about an approach to biotechnology education, and theNational Academies cited preliminary work by these authors in their report on FacilitatingInterdisciplinary Research when discussing measures to evaluate interdisciplinary work23-24.Still
