The primary objectives of the course are based on ABET criteria andare to: enhance critical thinking and design skills; introduce students to a broad view ofengineering analysis and design; reinforce the importance of mathematics and science inengineering design and analysis; emphasize communication skills, both written and oral;develop teamwork skills; offer experience in hands-on, creative engineering projects; provide anintroduction to different fields of engineering; and introduce students to the ethical context ofengineering. This past year a service learning and leadership module was added to thetraditional curriculum. Students worked in teams to teach the engineering design

Define and distinguish different approaches to creativity and creative inquiry. 2. Understand the significance and impact of creatively working within a set of externally imposed constraints, both from an historical and working perspective. 3. Understand the importance and role of ethical, professional, and cultural issues in the creative process. 4. Critically analyze the creative work of others using appropriate tools and criteria. 5.

While the value of exposure to failure case studies to students is welldocumented, their relative benefits on different aspects of the student (professional, technical,ethics, etc.) are not well documented.

An example of industry’s commitment is the June 3,1998, SBC (Southwestern Bell Communication) policy on universal design (accessible design):“SBC’s commitment to universal design principles is a tangible demonstration of the value SBCplaces on the worth and dignity of all individuals, including people with disabilities.
