Design-Implement Experiences And Engineering Workspaces

In this chapter, we continue our discussion of the resolution of the second question central to the improvement of engineering education—How can we do better at ensuring that students learn these skills? In Chapter Four, we examined how the curriculum can be restructured and retasked, in order to strengthen the links between the disciplines and weave the necessary skills into the curricular plan. In this chapter, we will examine perhaps the most important device to meet the demands placed on an integrated engineering curriculum—the design-implement experience.
