The question of interest related to the value-addedprogram activities was the students’ responses to “best program memory” (RQ1, RQ2).

These case studies illustrate how great worksof engineering integrate scientific skills and innovations, are a product of social needs andconditions, and can symbolically manifest the individual vision of the engineers. A central focusof this course is for students to experience engineering as a creative discipline, allowing foraesthetic exploration within a set of constraints.
