In recent years, a number of new ideas have been presented on how to modernize engineering studiesto meet the new challenges facing higher education [11, 20, 16,6,9, 10,7,24,3, 14]. A significant efforthas been taken by many academic institutions all around the world to implement these ideas and adjustengineering curricula to the needs of the rapidly changing society [7, 8, 18,4, 5]0 A s most discussions onrestructuring engineering studies indicate, flexibility and adaptability of the system of study are

Felder North Carolina State University Phil Wankat wrote somewhere—and I agree—that anything you can do in a large classyou can do better in a small one. When we find ourselves teaching a mob, it’s easy to throw upour hands, conclude that there’s no chance of getting any responsiveness out of 150 or 300students in an auditorium, and spend 45 hours showing transparencies to the listless 60% whobother to show up from day to day.

Thinking” in the Context of EducationIntroductionIn 2005, Roger Martin (now the Dean of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School ofManagement) was quoted as saying, “In this turbulent, get-real economy, the advantage goes tothose who can out imagine and out create their competitors”.1 “Imagine” and “Create” are veryartistic words for a School of management Dean. In the increasingly competitive globalenvironment, both business and engineering have become more interested in gaining a broaderunderstanding of the principles of creativity in their search for more meaningful innovation. Oneof the more recent terms to describe this interest in Innovation is the term “design thinking”.Creativity and design thinking are thought of as “right-brain

This, by itself, is a persuasive argument for assigning homework, especially forthose of us that still teach primarily in the lecture mode. Though I still interact with a fewengineering educators that do not assign homework, the vast majority do assign homeworkproblems, but many do not collect and grade these homework
