Wales, Charles E.; Stager, Robert A. – Engineering Education, 1972
Guided design, a new concept for course design and operation using engineering design techniques, is described. Presents these components of the design process: identifying the problem, goals, gathering information, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating. (PR)
Descriptors: Courses, Design, Educational Strategies, Engineering
Ackermans, S. T. M.; Trum, H. M. G. J. – Engineering Education, 1988
Discusses a two-year masters program; one year of lecture and practical training, and a second year on a supervised design task in an industry or development laboratory. Reviews the emphases of the curriculum. Describes the two paths to engineering careers in the Netherlands. (MVL)
Descriptors: College Science, Course Content, Curriculum Design, Curriculum Development
Bradley, F. X., Jr. – Engineering Education, 1985
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) launched a team competition to design a space glove. Discusses space glove specifications, the competition and competitors, team characteristics/membership, the judging process (with Kansas State University the winner), and lessons for…

Chalk, William S. – Engineering Education, 1984
Students in a senior engineering design course are given a routine design project typical of the first project given to a fledgling engineer in industry and a project more typical of what an experienced engineer does. Routine and nonroutine design approaches and instructional strategies used in the course are described. (JN)

Nevill, Gale E., Jr.; O'Connor, John A. – Engineering Education, 1972
Describes an experimental design course for engineering and art students based on the concepts of creativity and innovation. Class involvement was encouraged and groups of three people worked best with mixing of engineering and non-engineering students. Students expressed interest and enthusiasm for the course. (DF)

Alic, J. A. – Engineering Education, 1977
Discusses a method for teaching engineering design in which case studies are combined with programmed instructional materials. (MLH)
Descriptors: Case Studies, Design, Engineering, Engineering Education
Alic, J. A. – Engineering Education, 1975
Views the teaching of materials as content oriented, while teaching design is process oriented. Advocates the integration of design teaching with materials teaching through design problems in which the materials component plays a large part. (GS)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Design, Engineering Education, Higher Education
Larsen, William L. – Engineering Education, 1975
Outlines one approach to the teaching of materials engineering design within the context of metallurgical engineering. This approach uses a problem solving situation and criteria for an appropriate problem are presented. (GS)
Descriptors: Course Descriptions, Curriculum, Design, Engineering Education
Bardes, Bruce P. – Engineering Education, 1975
Describes a course designed to demonstrate the relationship between design, manufacturing technology, and materials engineering. The course uses a lecture-discussion and laboratory-workshop approach including an analysis of engineering case histories and several service failures. (GS)
Descriptors: Case Studies, Course Content, Course Descriptions, Curriculum
Evans, D. L.; And Others – Engineering Education, 1990
Summarized are definitions, trends, and the change in the views of design in engineering education since the 1950s. Four decades of report conclusions are reviewed. (CW)
Descriptors: College Science, Design, Educational History, Educational Trends
Bakos, Jack D., Jr. – Engineering Education, 1990
Develops a programed approach for developing design projects. Describes the initiation, design experiences, final report, and problems of the approach. (YP)
Descriptors: Civil Engineering, College Science, Course Content, Course Descriptions
McMasters, John H.; Ford, Stephen D. – Engineering Education, 1990
Discussed are means of enhancing engineering education and the process of bridging the gap between industry and academe. The change in the corporate culture is described. Partnerships between schools and industry are advocated. (CW)
