Haston Michigan State UniversityAbstractThis paper focuses on the important role engineering service courses could play in a student’smajor engineering design experience. It explores opportunities for students to apply knowledgeacquired and skills learned in these courses to their multidisciplinary, engineering designexperiences. But transforming these courses and linking them more formally to engineeringdesign may require that engineering faculty and administrators rethink
