This lab session is a good fit for this class, and afterhaving had the students “practice” their creative skills the entire semester, it seems prudent tobegin to bridge the general idea of creativity with the reality of implementation in engineeringdesign. The students really enjoy this final preliminary design project. For this lab assignment,students are tasked with putting together a preliminary civil engineering design of a newhospital. Students are given a fictitious piece of property (see figure 4) and told that the hospitalcan be located anywhere on the property map, with the exception of displacing the neighborhoodfarm house.

The difficulties inherent in answering thisquestion have already been alluded to earlier in the paper and relate to the way engineeringeducators are socialized into the university and how “engineering” is defined within academia.Schools of engineering seek the best graduates from their or other schools for doctoral programs.Typically the most successful graduates are recruited directly into the university in a position thathas defined duties in both teaching and research.
