Reflectionand reframing of course design considerations offers faculty developers new approaches tocourse development.Background of Course The course focused on interdisciplinary collaboration and problem framing for studentsto generate insight about a complex problem situation. This course was designed as anopportunity for students to connect their learning across courses and prepare them for advancedstudy in interdisciplinary coursework and senior engineering capstone design. The primary focuswas on developing students’ abilities to engage with multiple perspectives

According to Shulman, signature pedagogies have threestructural dimensions – surface (operational acts of teaching and learning), deep (assumptionsabout how best to impart knowledge) and explicit (moral dimension that comprises a set ofbelieves about professional attitudes, values and dispositions). Signature pedagogies inprofessional disciplines also have three temporal patterns: an initial pedagogy that frames andprefigures professional preparation, capstone apprenticeships and a sequenced and balancedportfolio4. Engineering, with its mix of analysis courses, laboratories and design studios, ischaracterized by the latter. Shulman also notes that a signature pedagogy can also be illustratedby

In mechanical engineering, design of devices such as material handlingtrays are covered in mechanical design courses.

The minor is intended toreach across different disciplines such as Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Business, Engineeringand the Visual Arts. The case is made for a standalone minor in sustainability that encompassesfactors such as carbon footprint, limited resources, renewable energy, and the business case forsustainability. It also stresses on the importance of a capstone course that emphasizes handsexperience in designing sustainable systems (products or services).Different aspects of a multifaceted issue such as sustainability are addressed using a QFDapproach to ensure objectivity and quality of course material as well as instruction.IntroductionThere has

Evidencethat this goal has been achieved is found in the number of capstone senior design projects whichhave been related to PV systems since the course has been offered. It is particularly encouragingthat some of these designs are being put to serious use, such as a water pumping system for aremote area of Haiti and a PV powered fountain which one student has given to his parents as athank you for their support of his education
