Introduction to Engineering Design course (ENES 100) has evolved over the lastdecade at University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) and integrates ideas, opinionsand experiences of many faculty members who have experimented with teaching designto freshman students. The course involves freshman students in a “hands on” productrealization process. The product development project is assigned in teams of four or five.The typical product chosen, like many engineering products is synthesized from Page 7.579.1components and engineering principles that cover a spectrum of topics.Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference

engineeringopportunities in order to help excite and engage them in the math and physics courses that willdominate their first two years of school. The course at the senior level, however, grew out ofstudent demand to explore distributive intelligence. In both cases, students coming into thecourses had different backgrounds with regards to electronics/building experience andprogramming languages. Hence, a tool set was needed that all students could quickly and easilyuse regardless of their previous experience. Moreover, the course instructors wanted tools thatwould be easy to support and maintain and allow students to complete projects outside of theclassroom or laboratory if necessary.While many tools exist for teaching robotics, the need for text based

One or more multimedia computer-based interactive applications are the core of each module. The applications aid the student in visualizing aspects of the modular content and meeting the other learning objectives. The interactive applications are made as intuitive as possible; however, a part of the course module is a user’s guide with examples for operating the application. This is particularly important to distance learners. The concept is to recognize that learning occurs with a number of sensory inputs (e.g., laboratory work with tactile

More and more research is being undertaken in the laboratories of French colleges using equipment and funding from industry. This is a relatively recent phenomenon in the Grandes Ecoles but is proving to be a fertile breeding-ground for all those involved (industrialists, faculty, Ph.D. students and final-year students).

The other 13 students were either exchange students, transfer students orstudents who had taken a different version of the freshman course. The important point here isthat these twelve had never heard of injection molding and had never been exposed to design forinjection molding concepts. None of the students had ever been exposed to forging or theconcepts of design for forging.In both the case of the injection molding tutor as well as the forging tutor, the software wasinstalled on PCs in the College of Engineering PC laboratory.

Yet beyond insisting that students think, faculty often fail to teach studentsmuch about developing effective tools for thinking. Hence, our goals—as a business managerand a university professor--have included developing tools for reflection and analysis andintroducing these tools to engineering students so they can use them throughout their educationand career.One of the best tools that humans can use to enhance thinking is a notebook.

One lab might consist of cable-loss measurements, the next, directional-coupler characterization, antenna-gain/pattern measurements, etc. The spirit of the course was tointegrate theory with hands-on knowledge of microwave measurement techniques. However,like many such labs, each lab session seemed unnecessarily disjoint from the other. Dissatisfiedwith the outcome of teaching pieces of knowledge and hoping that some unifying purpose wouldemerge at the end of the semester, the individual lab objectives were replaced with an overallsemester project that required
