Design in Engineering Education

Engineering Design ProjectThe Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Design course at the University of Pittsburghpiloted a design project in which students in the two course sections designed and built what theinstructors referred to as a “big machine”, which is similar to a Rube Goldberg machine. In pastyears, students in this design course completed a design project that emphasized user-centereddesign. Beginning in the fall 2015 semester, the big machine was incorporated as a seconddesign project so that students would also get experience designing with the goal of fitting into alarger system. With this project, the emphasis was no longer solely on the end user, but also onmaking sure that their designs met the constraints and requirements of the
