AB  -                                         Bridge Design:       A Common Design Project for Two Different Engineering Courses        This study takes place within a newly established engineering science major program at aliberal arts university. The department has a goal of embedding elements of engineering designthroughout the entire curriculum. Because each course includes different subjects, designprojects are customized depending on the content of the course. This paper is going to presentcommon design projects assigned in two separate courses where the same students worked onthem by using different means. In the Introduction to Physics and Engineering course, freshmenstudents built a bridge made from spaghetti and glue. They tried to design one that would carrythe maximum load without making any computational analysis. The subsequent year, in theStatics and Dynamics course, they constructed another bridge with similar size but this timeusing a bridge set with load cells. They performed calculations and measured the load cells intheir system to have a design with smallest forces on the members. These projects enabled thestudents to see the improvements on a design when an engineering approach was used and torealize their own progress after one year. Details of the projects and samples of student work willbe provided and discussed in detail.
