First, the engineering design process is discussed as adistinct two stage procedure involving (a) architectural design, and (b) subsystem design. Thesteps in these two stages are articulated and examined. Innovative aspects of the engineeringdesign process are then discussed in terms of some of the ways of “thinking outside the box

However, the valves over which we(the university) have control are at the university-level: first year experience, sophomore, juniorand senior-level valves. Thus, from our standpoint, we achieve the largest impact by focusing onthe first valve at the university-level: the First Year Experience (FYE).However, we also recognize that the K-12 valves have far greater potential to affect the totalflow rate. With this in mind, at UNR the College of Engineering is partnering with the Collegeof Education on all aspects of this project. Thus, while we are focusing on

This is an output-driven discipline. The solution and the inputs will vary,utilizing the skills, knowledge and creativity of the designer. Parallel to science, engineeringrequires the application of ideas employed in the process of engineering. Children’sengineering uses the engineering design process to create solutions. It uses the learning styleadvocated by Piaget and others to foster understanding of concepts.
