The course is based on “engagement theory”; the methods of the coursedraw both on the capabilities of current technologies (WebCT, Placeware, PowerPoint)and the virtues of the traditional classroom. An emerging theme is that of “TechnicalLeadership” and its relationship to the success of engineers in their careers and

In other words, we need to gather pertinent information for the design, andresearch whether existing technologies can be incorporated into the design.

After generating themultiple solutions, we need to analyze each solution against the selection criteria for theproblem in order to check whether it fits the requirements specified by the problem. After wehave selected the best possible solution, we need to test that particular solution. Since

Technology (RIT), andthe University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) joined together with key industrial sponsors to forman educational consortium for the purpose of disseminating a Master’s degree program thatwould provide the educational foundation needed by future leaders of technology-basedorganizations. “PD21”, the “Education Consortium for Product Development Leadership inthe 21st Century,” was established to address a gap between existing academic programs and abusiness need for technically grounded leaders, individuals with a strong systems perspectiveand knowledge base in both engineering and management. 1 Instead of creating a“concentration” within an established degree framework (eg. MBA or MSIE), PD21 partnersviewed product development as the
even tofunctional models.In short, what is missing is an holistic approach to teaching engineering design where all steps ofa typical design process are completed in an environment promoting synergy between thevarious stages of design. In this paper, we describe an ongoing effort at Kettering Universityfocused on dealing with the stated challenges. This effort is supported by NSF grant DUE-9851147 and several interested industrial partners. It is stipulated that teaching design can beelevated to a new level of effectiveness by utilizing the technologies described and thecurriculum changes proposed herein. Page 5.670.2II.

The social aspectof the model also speaks to the inherently social nature of ESI since ethical decisions are made incomplex organizational contexts that include many stakeholders [18].

Thedevelopment of EC2000 was a multi-year process; workshops were hosted to identify concernsof college deans and faculty, industry professionals, practicing engineers, and educationresearchers before publishing recommendations for change in undergraduate engineeringprograms [12]. These recommendations formed the basis for EC2000 which focused for the firsttime on student outcomes upon completion of an engineering
