In order to provide students with better scaffolding for building thisknowledge, students should have earlier and more frequent exposures to learning that scaffoldstheir ability to make meaning

-Simon bet about thecost of materials [5]. The Bet, [6] is a book that details a famous bet between Paul Ehrlich,Biologist and Environmentalist and Julian Simon, Economist. Simon won the bet over thedecade 1980-1990. The lesson for students is that inflation adjusted prices of natural resourceshave a negative, not a positive trend, over sufficiently long periods of time. It is exactly this kindof insight, and arguments about the mechanisms that might give rise to it, that could be useful forengineering students in their careers. If they work as project planners and managers, it isvaluable to understand these larger trends and what they might mean for product development.

Design in Engineering Education

Role of Tools In TeachingSince the mid 1990’s, there has been significant pressure applied to engineering educators byaccreditation boards to re-vitalize the real-world, open-ended, hands-on nature of engineering1.Undergraduate engineers are now being taught to design for the man-made environments inwhich they live – environments which widely require tools to be manipulated. Can we expectstudents to understand the process of hands-on design if they cannot engage in it? Although thefirst year design and communication course at the Schulich School of Engineering is not atechnical based course, it is one of the few opportunities students have to become exposed tobasic hand tools during their undergraduate academic careers.
