Design in Engineering Education, First-Year Programs

design processAbstract:When teaching an introductory engineering design course, a typical challenge for students lies ingrasping the nature of the design thinking mindset and the often scattered nature of the designprocess. Since design is often taught as a multidisciplinary course (or as a component of one)early in the curriculum, one approach to address this in a discipline-blind manner is to focus onthe design of products familiar to students in their everyday lives. However, a drawback to thisapproach is that it typically can only be used to analyze fully-developed and commerciallysuccessful products, which can obscure the messy details and iterations inherent in the designprocess. It also strongly biases the pool of potential cases toward

In most engineering schools, both types of engineering programs strongly emphasize mathematics and science, especially physics and calculus. While the main topics in both programs appear similar, ET content emphasizes the application of engineering techniques and traditional engineering content will focus on the development of concepts, it is what is called design engineering. ET graduates and traditional engineering programs complement each other in skills and interests. Application engineers work with
