marketed by Knowledge Revolution. The DBEE modules are open-endedsituations incorporating two important target concepts. The modules are structured toensure that target concepts are discovered by the student during successful completion ofthe module. The modules typically require an hour to complete, and are assigned in placeof two traditional drill problems. DBEE uses design to introduce basic concepts;therefore, the inclusion of DBEE into engineering science courses does not requireadditional study time from the student. The DBEE project was implemented in a 1995pilot study partially funded by an equipment grant from Hewlett-Packard. Following thesuccess of the pilot project, a grant was obtained from the Idaho State Board of Educationto

Students completed the design, obtained approval from the customer (the nonprofit trailgroup), and obtained approval from local and state governments. Because this was a capstonecourse, students were required to demonstrate knowledge and skills they acquired during theirfour-year degree program. As such, they created the blueprints of the new design, estimated costsand materials, scheduled the construction, and fulfilled the role of project manager. Constructionprofessionals mentored the students as they built the trailhead restroom. The magic words
