However, while the importance of centering the designeffort of students around customer discovery and value creation is increasingly being recognized (e.g.,Bekki, et al., 2018), challenges exist in effectively integrating content that students learn in theengineering curriculum, and advances in technology, with ways of values to a customer in an educationsetting. A primary challenge is the development of new content which builds on, supplements andexpands students’ grasp of engineering, economic and social concepts. Furthermore, the integration ofnew content

benefits which relateto effective assessment. By making an effort to talk to faculty about the curriculum and ask themfor reflections on the impact of particular projects, the portfolio provides a natural way to engagecolleagues in discussion about the impact of specific courses. Discussions related to portfoliodevelopment can foster relations between faculty and offer areas for collaboration in theachievement of outcomes outside of the program’s normal assessment procedures.The portfolio is not intended to be a collection of all work, or to serve as the primary means ofassessment. In fact it is quite the opposite. At the Coast Guard Academy a regular process ofassessment and improvement already exists for curriculum review. In end of course

During second and third year courses, the engineering curriculum focuses onanalytical concepts and techniques ultimately intended to support design analysis ability.However, students frequently have difficulty in integrating their design process knowledge andanalysis abilities during capstone design projects.Most four year engineering programs include a first year course focused on the engineeringdesign process where students are exposed to the wide range of issues that must be consideredwith regard to the ‘real life’ activity of designing a product or a process.

Although thecourse has always undergone a gradual evolution from year to year (as a result of our ABET-related self evaluation and feedback loop), there was a marked shift three years ago as explainedin the next sub-sections.Original Format: Integrated Lectures and ProjectsWhen this capstone course was first introduced in 1999 it was conceived as an integrated lectureplus project course. The course spanned the Fall-Spring semesters worth 4 units each semester(8 units total). The mechanics involved traditional lectures twice a week (75 minutes each),although since projects were running concurrently, approximately every three weeks the lectureswould give way to student presentations

However, the systematic integration of design and analysis in coursesis still lacking (Carberry & McKenna, 2014). Some of the outstanding research questions about PBL asproposed by Dym et al. (2005) include: “What are the best proportions of problems, projects, teamwork,technology, and reality for a given state of student development,” and “how do the proportions changewith regard to the context of different engineering disciplines and institutional missions?” (p. 112).There are some

goals became to apply and develop engineering designacross the curriculum. Starting by an introduction to engineering course in the first semester, ourcurriculum consists of design embedded courses each semester. However, that brings a challengeto us, engineering educators, to prevent this emphasis from shadowing the subject material ofeach course. Design work should not be a separate entity, but a contributory tool which can beused to support the teaching of the courses’ fundamentals1. Upper division courses are easier toincorporate design projects due to the knowledge levels and skills of the students. On the otherside, creating good design projects for lower division courses are more difficult because thestudents don’t have the analytical

PBL also allows the instructor to integrate oral and written communicationcomponents into the course through required presentations, project reports and team meetings.The application and hands-on components of PBL are especially crucial in an applied scienceprogram such as engineering. Also, it is argued in this paper that integrating a PBL course in thejunior year curriculum can serve as a very good preparation for the Capstone project.While it is extremely important to design engineering curriculum so as to meet specific programoutcomes and deliver specific content, it is being increasingly recognized that a focus
