Design Experience

The paper presents a few simple approaches that have been used to integrate design experiences into regular technical courses. In addition, a possible future initiative to link material from different technical courses through a design experience is outlined. Finally, thoughts on the need to further integrate academic and “work experience” requirements to become a professional engineer are presented.

Abstract This paper presents a case study of Jeff, a mechanical engineering senior, and his experience with design in two different contexts — one in the classroom and one extracurricular. After a year-long study of undergraduate engineers, Jeff revealed marked differences in his uptake of design principles and reflexivity toward his thinking within the discipline. We explored with Jeff the critical differences and experiences that led to his changes once we had completed data collection with his peer cohort of undergraduates. We explored Jeff’s interpretation of the differences he considered as positive changes, the attributes of applying principles of problem typology, and the requisite context required to achieve these changes as a student. Through qualitative analysis four assertions are examined — improved approach to design problem solving, broadened view of design, engineering as multiple types of problems, and relevance to the profession — and validated through a member check. Potential implications for engineering education, especially as it pertains to design education are briefly described.

Capstone Design

With a growing need to reform Chinese higher engineering education, University of Michigan—Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute (JI) initiated multinational corporation-sponsored industrial-strength Capstone Design Projects (CDP) in 2011. Since 2011, JI has developed 96 corporate-sponsored CDPs since its inception, which include multinational corporation sponsors such as Covidien, Dover, GE, HP, Intel, NI, Philips, and Siemens. Of these projects, healthcare accounts for 27%, energy 24%, internet technology (IT) 22%, electronics 16%, and other industries 11%. This portfolio reflects the trends and needs in the industry, which provides opportunities for engineering students to develop their careers. An accumulated 480 JI students have been teamed up based on their individual backgrounds, specifically electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering. The corporate-sponsored rate grew from 0% in 2010 to 86% in 2014.

Design Experience

The design experience of 3rd year undergraduates in Mechanical Engineering at Ryerson University, and the assessment of student design work, was found to be disjointed and highly variable across the program. To attempt to address this, the authors are constructing courseware to help instructors of non-design engineering courses embed rich and consistent design projects into their courses. A “lightweight” Fast-Design process was developed. Course-specific design project examples of the process are being developed for five 3rd year courses using this design process. Current versions of all courseware are freely available. This paper details the nature of the courseware and how it was designed, developed,and deployed for the project. To date, one case has been deployed, two developed, and two more are under development. While results are so far only anecdotal, there is reason to believe that our approach can noticeably improve the design experience of students in non-design engineering courses.
