This paper presents the results of a 17 month project between twolarge public institutions to investigate and incorporate educational tools and practical experiencesin the teaching of SE in existing design courses, to be later transitioned into a broad range ofcourses within the curricula. The main objective of the project introduced students to thepractical applications of the fundamentals of SE without displacing other course content.

A preliminary survey of best practices guidelines for simulationuse, developed by practicing engineers,5 indicates that the expert approach has an underlyinguniformity irrespective of the specific context or discipline. Our project extends this cognitiveand simulation research to industrial-standard simulation platforms. We hypothesize that ifstudents, in their formative years, see the same expert approach to simulations being followedrepeatedly for a wide variety of problems in different subject areas, they are likely to internalizeit and be able to apply it in new situations. Students will thus develop a mental organizationalstructure similar to those developed by experts with years of experience working withsimulations. Students

As Carol McConica explains, in a 1996 edition of Chemical EngineeringEducation, "Freshman design courses are problematic because students do not yet have thefundamental engineering background necessary to solve real problems."2Like many of our colleagues elsewhere, 3 we at Northwestern see freshman limitations as achallenge, but not a roadblock. To meet this challenge, we proposed to develop a freshmancourse in user-centered design, having students work on real projects for real clients, by learningthe design strategies used by professional industrial designers. At Northwestern, we arefortunate to be near the Chicago offices of several renowned design firms—such as IDEO,Herbst LaZar Bell, and the Nielsen Norman Group—as well as the
