Even so, drainage and filling of wetlands, principally foragricultural use, were common practices 2. Fortunately, increased public awareness of wetlandfunctions and values led to the “no net loss of wetlands” policies of the Bush and ClintonAdministrations. Today, engineers will find it useful and often necessary to include wetlandsrestoration and conservation among project objectives.Accordingly, instruction in wetlands function awareness and design procedures has been intro-duced in the ocean engineering curriculum at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Engineering educators agree that laboratory and project work can provide some ofthese elements. Experiments provide hands-on experienced for validating or discoveringphysical principles; projects provide contexts in which to exercise these principles.These projects should require students to synthesize and apply their theoreticalknowledge. Performing experiments and carrying projects are examples of “contextuallearning”. But, simply assigning a contextual problem does not ensure that the learning gapwill be spanned.

(formerly Universidad del Turabo)AbstractTypical design (sizing) projects in a Machine Design course tend to rely on abstractions of themachine; that is, situations in which the student must imagine the system, perhaps with the aid ofa 2D schematic, and conduct the sizing calculations in a completely theoretical and abstractfashion. This skill is certainly a requirement of an experienced machine designer; however,novices may be outmatched when exposed to this level of expertise at an early stage in theirdevelopment. This article suggests that the sizing projects should be based on existingmachinery that is available in the university, and that is accessible for inspection and explorationby students. The sizing results are then compared to the

experience of the creative arts beyond the superficial might reveal thatthe artist and the engineer are not as different as is usually supposed. The University of Texas atTyler has conducted an experimental project in which engineering students were encouraged toexperience the design process afresh from the perspective of the creative arts. Juniors inelectrical engineering worked under the mentorship of arts faculty in a chosen medium (studioart, writing, or music) to produce legitimate works of art that were displayed, performed, or readpublicly, and documented how their experiences of design in the arts have informed and shapedtheir perspectives as engineers. The structure, expectations, and results of this course aredescribed in this paper.A
