and university engineering curricula in the US have been following similartrajectories for some time. In the early 1900’s, engineering was treated more as a ‘trade’ at theuniversity level, and high schools encouraged vocational studies, including auto repair, woodshop, metalworking, cosmetology and other ‘trades’ to the non-college bound. Between 1935and 1965, most university engineering curriculum moved away from a trade-school curriculumto a more theoretical, mathematically-intensive one, delaying any hands-on design projects untilthe senior or ‘capstone’ design course 11.Similarly, the nation’s high schools tried to erase the division between the trades and the college-preparatory tracks to prepare anyone who might be inclined to attend a
