To do this I reflect back onwhat I already know, what I am learning from graduate student co-creators, and how my participantobservation as instructor for the class will impact the developmental stages of their projects.We know that collaborative design thinking is a social activity [1]. Members work together in teamsin the workplace and increasingly in engineering schools in project-based design courses. While thesecourses give an experience of working in teams, the elements of how insights help individuals createnew approaches, sustain engagement and inspiration well into a project and

and personal causes that need to be controlled by constant recourse to the designproblem itself (and by the norms of the group). This problem may well get changed by the client or the designteam at several points in the design and product development process, but it is important never to lose sight ofits centrality to the mission and the need to have the design problem clearly delineated. It is also at this stagethat broad constraints of resources, cost, safety, and environment are first laid out - as are the project schedules(e.g., Gantt and Pert charts).

BACKGROUNDThis class in life-cycle engineering (LCE) is an outgrowth of the recent expansions andimprovements in design education. One of these expansions, the use of industrial projects, is acornerstone of the class. The course is naturally based upon the major principles of life-cycleengineering.1.1 Design EducationFor quite some time, there has been a push to improve the content and applicability ofengineering design education. Spurred by changes in ABET certification criteria and anexplosion in design theory and methodology research, some universities revamped capstoneengineering design classes.

.Manufacturers have embraced lean manufacturing during the slow down in the economyas one method of remaining profitable5. Having students experience lean manufacturing concepts in the laboratory canhave a positive effect on the experiences offered to the students prior to them entering theindustrial setting. It is important that faculty provide students with the experiences thatdevelop a strong conceptual framework of how this management practice will benefit theindustry in which they work. Many of our students learn best when they are actively engaged in activities thatemphasize the concepts that we are trying to teach.
