Liebenberg, Leon; Mathews, Edward Henry – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2012
Modern engineering curricula have started to emphasize design, mostly in the form of design-build experiences. Apart from instilling important problem-solving skills, such pedagogical frameworks address the critical social skill aspects of engineering education due to their team-based, project-based nature. However, it is required of the…
