the recitation would be devoted to students working on special homework problems(“section problems”) which we describe next.Each week, one of the students’ homework problems, written by E. B., was more authentic than a typicaltextbook problem. Students would be required to make their own assumptions and set their own designcriteria, and might have to look up information to solve the problem (i.e. in handbooks, published researcharticles, etc.). In general, they would have to make design decisions with limited information, just as anengineer would do in the workplace. An example problem is in Figure 1. These section problems were 50%of students’ weekly homework grades. Students would be given 15 minutes in section each week to workon these

Figure 2a: Machine guard with mesh sieve at Figure 2 b: Machine guard with adjustable the bottom frameAnother group proposed a similar concept, which they considered ergonomic. It includes an adjustableframe adjusted by wing nuts and one bolt for securing the machine (figure 2b). Making the guard adaptableallows the operator to set the exact amount of belt he or she needs to be exposed, ultimately reducing thework envelope and reducing the contact with the belt. Using wingnuts allows the operator to make

Even with a more complicated and difficultsetting for the game, the improvements in both the reports and the game result is very significantand a great way for the students to experience this increase in knowledge themselves as well.The goal of the course is to broaden the insight of maritime technology and economics studentsin the direction of each other. This has been translated into a set of learning goals, which arecovered by the five elements of the course as can be seen in Table 1. The first two learning goals(a,b) relate to the more technical aspects of the course. Learning

Hence,design thinking in engineering situate students’ ideas within the realities and helps themgenerating feasible products using the engineering knowledge out of the routinized, formalizedway of thinking. Engineering design thinking process as an effective problem-solving algorithm includesseven iterative stages [15], [23]: (a) identify the need and formulate the problem, (b) identify/search for solutions for similar cases in the past, (c) use knowledge and creativity to generatenew ideas, (d) evaluate and decide on the best idea: iterate until there is only one solutionconcept left, (e
