Abstract

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 Chap. 4, we examined how the curriculum can be restructured and re-tasked in order to strengthen the links between the disciplines and weave the necessary skills into the curriculum plan. In this chapter, we examine perhaps the most important device to meet the demands placed on an integrated engineering curriculum, namely, design-implement experiences.

This chapter is written with the support of authors Stefan Hallström, Jakob Kuttenkeuler, Robert J. Niewoehner and Peter W. Young.
