The flexibility in the scope of this course sequence was well suitedto the interests and goals of the different students. Some students were interested in design andbuild-type projects while others, mainly those considering going on to graduate school, preferredmore research-oriented projects.In the mid 1990’s, new standards for the accreditation of engineering programs were developed.Criterion 4 of ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 calls for students to be prepared for engineeringpractice through the curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on theknowledge and skills acquired in

The mechanical engineering program is one of fourengineering programs at Union College.

analyzing the process and its inner workings. Presenting design inthe context of Bloom’s Taxonomy may also enable students to recognize that they alreadypossess much of the prerequisite skill and knowledge to be successful designers. Once thestudents gain such confidence it is possible that they can begin to focus on acquiring the toolsrequired to perform engineering design. In essence the students are afforded the opportunity toput their ideas and experiences into new products or processes.The Engineering Design ProcessSince the late 1950’s and Sputnik engineering design has taken a back seat to scientific andanalytical research.

it! There are other good reasons for us to focus the workshop on teaching and learning. In a study on new faculty careers from the late 1970’s Fink found that new faculty were often overwhelmed by their teaching responsibilities [5]. And over a decade later, another study found that there was no significant change for the better [6]. Both studies indicated that faculty wished to teach well, but the latter study in particular found that new faculty tended to teach by lecturing, feel concerned about getting the content right, and worried about teaching evaluations. Overall, Boice found new faculty were running hard just to stay in one place, especially in terms of their teaching responsibilities. Such research seems to indicate
