education is evident in a key learning outcome criterion set by the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET), which states that students are expected todemonstrate “the ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs withinrealistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability” 1. Most four year engineering programs include acornerstone design course in the first year which introduces students to the breadth ofengineering design topics. Students obtain more in-depth knowledge in their second and thirdyear, in particular related to engineering analysis. Although analysis is a relevant part of thedesign process, when asked to
of the fall 2011reporting period, the number of undergraduates enrolled in ECE at OU is now 345. Prior workdetails our methodology, which is focused on advanced engineering technologies, innovativedemonstrations, and hands-on activities at a level that the individual student can understand andappreciate.2 The implementation of the program was likely more important than themethodology. One of the primary reasons for this 40% increase in ECE enrollment in only threeyears is a drastic change in the student culture. Prior to 2008, our ECE students had minimalinvolvement in recruiting and retention efforts. Since 2008, a radical change has been made thatresulted in students driving the process.

variety of learning styles. Of greater concern, engineeringeducation methodology is not as attractive to woman as it is to men. Engineering education hasbecome too mathematical, too abstract, and is not employing recent pedagogical trends, such asproblem based learning, and cooperative learning, in large scale. The impact of this has beennoted in industry, which has clearly had a major impact on the development of new accreditationcriteria for undergraduate engineering programs. Starting in 2000, ABET’s (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology) Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs has stressedthe need for engineering programs to initiate cooperative learning environments with teamworkand communication skill development, as well
assessments across the engineering, market- ing, finance and manufacturing domains. Prior to this, he held positions in New Product Development at Ford Motor Company and Onsrud Cutter.

For the example of an introductorymechanics course, forces and motions of levers and bars are studied.

of theproduct design projects are initiated by identifying the needs for the market. The productdevelopment can be either market-driven or new technology-driven. Once the needs areidentified, the first thing to do is plan for the design. This may include forming the design team,developing the required tasks, and establishing a project schedule. Employing concurrentengineering, design team usually consists of project manager, design project engineer,manufacturing engineer, material engineer, and quality assurance engineer. Depending on thesize of a company, a person may serve in multiple roles as mentioned earlier.Secondly, engineering specifications are developed based on who the customers are, what theirrequirements are, and what the
