Acquaint students with engineering practice; 2. Develop skills, by use, in computation; 3. Foster creative ability through projects; 4. Gain insight into management through group projects; 5. Develop appreciation for non-technical aspects of design; and 6. Foster willingness to responsibly attack open-ended problems.The Clinic courses and the first-year design course expose students to client-based designproblems.

A frequent complaint of undergraduate students isthat their classes often seem entirely unrelated to each other. By introducing these skills atdifferent locations across the standard curriculum, the effect should be greater connectivitybetween courses that are provided a throughput in the form of concept modeling throughnumerical simulations and design iteration using field-driven design. The hope is that thesetechniques are illustrative of engineering concepts in a manner that is analogous to programmingskills being taught to computer science students to exemplify the applications of algorithms, datastructures, and so on.A review of

This conceptualization may thencontinue to evolve throughout their design process and deeply impact the direction of their project.Therefore, the degree and depth to which the team attends or conceptualizes the complexity of theunderlying problem will likely affect the effectiveness, adaptability, and longevity of any resulting designsolution.

Now, as the engineering curriculum hasprogressed, first year design courses, known as the cornerstone engineering courses, have become staplecourses across engineering programs in the United States [1]. Similarly, fourth year design courses,referred to as capstone courses, have seen significant development over time through integration ofindustry-sponsored projects with real world applications into the coursework. However, these capstonecourses serve as the only standard opportunity across engineering education for undergraduateengineering students to showcase their engineering education. In
