of the design; as well as, their experience indecision-making, are ample reasons why their expertise would enrich students’ learning andbrings them (the students) closer to the realities of the workplace. (1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have absolutely no experience “under their belt

Design in Engineering Education

. In fact, design courses, in general, have emerged as a means for students to beexposed to some flavor of what engineers actually do; and also, could learn the basic elements ofthe design process by being involved in real design projects. There have even been formalproposals for curricular goals and assessment measures for design-based curricula. Thisargument is driven by a widespread notion that the intellectual content of design is consistentlyunderestimated (1).This paper reviews research on design thinking as it relates to how designers think, learn andmake decisions, which is an important reason why design is not easy to teach. Design thinkingis, in general terms, complex processes of inquiry and learning that designers perform in

general, and to the use of modern pedagogicalskills in particular. The paper also argues that any meaningful change in Region’s classroompractices today (dominated by traditional lecture-based methods) must be mandated andsupported by the university administration. What is necessary to create a change, is for thedepartment or college, to have a comprehensive and integrated set of components: clearlyarticulated expectations, opportunities for faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and anequitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies ofengagement.

To prepare for teaching, most of us acquirethe same knowledge, except for a stint as teaching assistants; we receive almost notraining in how to impart it to students. Fortunately, there is now a well developedscience of human learning that has been very explicit in the ways in which studentsshould learn, and how teachers should teach (1, 2). Further, they address differentlearning styles (3, 4), focus explicitly on communication, teamwork, and leadershipskills (5, 6), and stress on educating students for life by helping them learn how tolearn.

No common curriculum across various universities dictates how such intendedoutcome would be delivered. Years ago, Mechanical Engineering Department at NJIT hadchosen to use 3Dimensional modeling using Creo Parametric 4.0 [1] solid modelling software,aka Pro/Engineer [1], Wildfire [1] in FED-101. Solid modelling is used as a design tool inmechanical product design. However, product design is not the only career path in MechanicalEngineering. From ideation to product realization, product design has many steps. Apart fromcompetency in product design, time management skills, hands on ability, intellectual-property-exploration skills
