Design is seenby proponents as a vital element of learning engineering. Compared to courses which focus onengineering analysis, design courses emphasize application of a broad spectrum of knowledge innarrow contexts. The importance of design courses is magnified by their impact on students andtheir disproportionate importance for assessment and accreditation. One element of designcourses

A typical design team is made up with three to five students and is multidisciplinaryin nature. These teams are assembled either by project choice where a member is assigned to aproject, or by group choice where a project is chosen by an existing self-forming group. A self-forming group is characteristically a group of friends that clumped together during theireducational career. No

the real technicalworld came at a time when more and more individuals were able to experience an educationalsystem that had been relatively limited to upper class society. Suddenly there was a push to openup the doors of academia to individuals who might actually work in professions and require helpin paying for that education by working professionally before they graduated. Family money,unavailable, gave way to technical jobs that could support the student’s educational costs. Thisgave way to a new but fully realized concept that contact between what man thought and studiedwith how he acted in the real world was beneficial and critical for learning to take place.

Many prospective students are “place-bound” in the sensethat they cannot move and attend the main campus that offers an engineering program, eitherbecause they have a good job, or family commitments, or because they cannot afford the housingcosts associated with moving.
