TLDR
In this paper, the authors discuss the design resources of the Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program, the design curricula it supports, and lessons learned, and discuss how students come to appreciate that engineering is about creating things for the benefit of society.Abstract:
Design projects provide an ideal focus for hands-on learning, serving to anchor and provide context for theoretical concepts. Product design is inherently open-ended and multi-disciplinary, and forces effective teamwork skills, especially if the project is complex enough (in other words, realistic). By creating and implementing designs, students come to appreciate that engineering is about creating things for the benefit of society, a premise that has broad appeal to a diverse population. This paper discusses the design resources of the Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program, the design curricula it supports, and lessons learned.Copyright © 2006 by ASMEread more
