The second group of assignments allows students to demonstrate their understandingof the relationship between science and engineering through inclusion of theory, design, andexplanatory text in written and oral reports on a design project. The final exam, as earlierassignments, includes an essay focusing on the relationship between science and engineering.Focusing on the theme of science and engineering throughout the course helps studentsappreciate the heavy emphasis on science and math in the engineering curriculum, as well as theimportance of interdisciplinary collaboration in engineering projects.

The course has ahands-on approach and students learn engineering fundamentals and specific engineering skillsthrough a series of dissection and design assignments. Resources were developed to allowstudents to fabricate their design projects at home and to use the Web rather than course staff as afirst source of information and guidance. In this way cost and teaching staff for the course wereminimized. The course has completed its third year and has gathered anecdotal evidence ofsuccess.I. IntroductionThe goal of this project was to change the way in which design was taught at the University ofMinnesota, and thus serve as a model for design education at any

For the fourth design course, eachgroup works on a different project, chosen from a wide variety of project ideas that change fromyear to year.This design program has many benefits. By the time students start their final design project inthe spring of senior year, they already have a number of hands-on experiences in design. Thiselevates the level of what they can accomplish for this project. In addition, since our studentsstart getting experience with equipment in the machine shop in their sophomore year, they are anattractive asset for many research laboratories. Feedback

what is learned in courses and applying these softwareengineering processes within the context of real software development projects. The key issue asdocumented by previous studies is how to capture both the conceptual ideas of softwareengineering processes while at the same time (or in following semesters) implementing theseconcepts successfully within software development projects. Typically, the processes are taughtin one course with minimal implementation within a project; at the same time, softwaredevelopment courses emphasize the development with little to no formal utilization of processes.This is not a criticism of faculty; it is simply a very difficult task to cover both the processes andimplementation in a cohesive manner.
