The Bell program, a Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, wasestablished in 2019 with an aim to increase student success, decrease student debt, and allowstudents to gain up to two years of on-the-job experience prior to graduation. In the process ofprogram development, the Bell program has been identified, in a study by MIT, as an “emergingglobal leader in engineering education” [4].This engineering education model featuring project-based learning is based off an existingprogram, Iron Range Engineering, which has been around for over ten years.

InterfaceIntroductionFor students to succeed in engineering design (and engineering practice) they must be able tomake design decisions that are grounded in data and analysis. The potential danger, however, inintroducing analysis and calculations too early in the design process is that this may lead thedesigner to become “fixated” on the current design idea and not explore other, potentially betterideas1, 2. This can be problematic as engineering education endeavors to teach students to bemore innovative. Thus, while it is important to teach students how to support their designdecisions with analysis, it is likewise important to help them engage in analysis without leadingto limited exploration of alternative ideas.
