asdistinctness between engineering design thinking, on the one hand, and engineering model-basedreasoning, on the other hand. The 1990s witnessed the rise of a transformative wave to the engineeringcurricula, where the “engineering science” model became dominant in engineering curricula. In thismodel, the focus in the first two years of the curriculum is placed on the “engineering sciences,” or,alternatively, “analysis,” with the expectation that students would apply the learned scientific principles tosolve technical problems. However, a segregation problem between “design” and “analysis” started toemerge. The problem was caused not only by lack of appreciation for the complexities associated withdesign teaching and learning, but also by lack of

The Canadian engineering curriculum tends to be based on the more traditional,technical-based style of teaching. This is partly due to the traditional emphasis on science andengineering in this field, and partly due to the fact that few English Departments in Canadianuniversities include Rhetoric and Composition in their curriculum.2 As a

On the other hand: (a) the continuousexpansion of the content to be covered (with a soaring number of new topics and techniquesbrought into the curriculum); (b) the flexibility of the curriculum and options to be madeavailable to students and (c) also a more student-centered approach being recommended in highereducation requiring more staff time and more physical resources to run courses. Coursedevelopers are consequently responsible for designing a structure which takes account of bothsets of pressures. They are also urged to change the pedagogical
