these observations, a quarter-long team project was introduced, where groups ofapproximately 10 students manufacture a working Stirling engine, as shown in Fig. 1.Hands-on labs where students produce working mechanical devices are far from new. Since the late1950’s however, many of these labs have been replaced with analytical work and exercises inengineering science [1,2]. Dejong [1] reminds us that it was the Grinter Report [3] that sent engineeringeducation in a much more theoretical and science based direction. Although these changes inengineering curricula led to many improvements, practice-based courses in the areas of design andmanufacturing have suffered.In the past several years, many authors have reported their efforts to

. Recently,many engineering educators have seen this “criterion swell” as symptomatic of rules that havebecome too cumbersome, too prescriptive, and a recipe for the evolution of “cookie cutter”programs. In fact, some have charged that the current ABET general criteria constitute anegative incentive for sound educational experimentation and the evolution of better teachingmethods. Although Criterion II.A.7 encourages well-planned experimentation, the engineeringcommunity has been reluctant to pursue such experimentation. Undoubtedly, the hesitation topursue such experimentation may, in part, be traced to a fear of restrictive interpretations of the“old criteria.”In the early 90’s, many outstanding institutions became openly frustrated with the
