The hands-ondesign concept makes the course more interesting and more challenging, and gives the students ataste of real-world applications as motivation to continue with engineering or engineeringtechnology as their major. Through a design project, students gain a better understanding ofengineering or engineering technology as a career through exposure to the various disciplines theproject requires.

INTRODUCTIONSince 1992, students in our undergraduate mechanical engineering program have been carryingout major design projects. The process of integrating major design project activities was spreadover three phases. The first phase, which took place between 1992 and 1994, consisted of a pilotprogram with forty students. The implementation of an engineering design option between 1995and 1999 constituted the second phase. The last phase embraced the complete reform of theundergraduate curriculum based on the development of competencies and the horizontal/verticalintegration of engineering sciences and engineering design.One of the principal objectives of the major design projects is to allow the students to live amajor design experience within the
