Abstract A variety of design-process and design-methods courses exist in engineering education. The primary objective of such courses is to teach engineering design fundamentals utilizing repeatable design techniques. By so doing, students obtain (1) tools they may employ during their education, (2) design experiences to understand the “big picture” of engineering, and (3) proven methods to attack open-ended problems. While these skills are worthwhile, especially as design courses are moved earlier in curricula, many students report that design methods are typically taught at a high-level and in a compartmentalized fashion. Often, the students’ courses do not include opportunities to obtain

Studentswere to input the wind, yaw, and rotor speed data into their digital controller and output the controlsignals to the yaw motor. Their controllers were to be constructed by using only logic gates,comparitors, counters, and timers. They had to convert the frequency signal from the anemometerinto commands to start turning the wind machine into the wind (cut-in) or to turn the machine out ofthe wind in excessive winds (cut-out). The system also had to track the wind when the rotor was notin overspeed and to turn the machine

Even against courses only in their major, our course came out as one of the best,with many students rating it the single best course they had ever taken. A non-technical coursemight be thought to have less educational value than a standard engineering technical course, butthis was not the perception of the students. Most students rated the educational value of ourcourse as “Better than average”, even compared to courses in their major.We also wanted to learn how such a course changed student attitudes towards various academicsubjects.

Automating the process on a computer can eliminate some ofthese inconvenient activities. A program can be built so that: a) the user can correctly get valuesfrom specific graphs or tables, b) unit conversion can be done, c) selection of materials can behad by proper query and d) some hints are provided alongway. As compared to a calculator,computers have a much better display and it vastly reduces the error during number entry.
