could be realised in practice by following the three stage philosophy of learning described byWhitehead. This model was based on experimental work in the teaching of engineering and technology that hadbeen completed in the post-primary system of education (high school) in Ireland. While the content and methodapplicable to each of the three stages of the Whitehead cycle was illustrated there was no in-depth discussion of thecomponents of each of these stages.The purpose of this paper is to consider in detail problems in the design of the first stage of the cycle called –“Romance”. The paper begins with a short introduction to Whitehead’s philosophy of rhythm in education.As conceived here the stage of romance for a program in engineering and

future coursework.2. Rationale for the CourseA simple problem statement for the course we are developing is to teach mathematical problemsolving in a way that leads to transfer of knowledge and skills to future coursework. We focusedon the solution of difficult, but well defined problems because this is a major deficiency in thestudents we see. We also included the formulation of real-world problems, which usually are notwell defined, contain both incomplete and unnecessary data, and lack a clearly defined objective.Engineers need a solid foundation in solving well defined problems in order to solve these realworld problems.

independentof time. The result is either right or wrong. This is not the case with solutions to projects.A project, however, deals with the future stated or explored. Projecting is to “throw some-thing forward” (Project from Latin, Pro- (forward) + iare (throw)) [10]. The demands to aproject solution always include requirements from the future in which the solution shall becarried out by manufacturing or implementing processes. The demands include requirementsalso from that future in which the solution is expected to be useful. The projects themselvesinclude the future again also even if the whole work is made in the laboratory of the univer-sity.However, about the future nobody knows except by forecasts, by hypotheses, in the form oftheories

With the senior college just a short bus ride away (1.4 miles), students in the joint/dual program have easy access to both campuses. This allows them to take courses at the senior college that are not offered at the junior college for a variety of reasons.

However, successful design students must also masterprofessional skills such as oral and written communication, project management, teamworkskills, problem solving, and professional ethics. These skills can be difficult to teach in atraditional lecture format, but can be very naturally integrated into capstone design5. Sincecapstone design courses offer many opportunities for situated learning, they allow students tolearn these professional skills in a realistic context6.Given that these professional skills are necessary for a successful capstone design experience,one
