Design Education and Engineering Design

Design and design centers in engineering education

Engineering design education and rehabilitation engineering.

My academic career of more than 50 years has been committed to involving undergraduate and graduate students in the engineering design process [1]. A variety of experiences—childhood model making, vocational high school education, draftsman jobs, and military assignments during World War II—have convinced me that design is best learned by the necessity of reaching wellestablished and defined de...

Network Based Engineering Design Education

In graduate class, education on shortening the lead-time in designing and developing products by various computer-aided systems in a network and applying virtual engineering was carried out. To accomplish such a purpose, network based education about engineering design was applied. Some laboratories consisting of various computer-aided systems were constructed and connected by a network. A samp...

Integrated Design Engineering Education within Electrical and Computer Engineering

The paper presents a few simple approaches that have been used to integrate design experiences into regular technical courses. In addition, a possible future initiative to link material from different technical courses through a design experience is outlined. Finally, thoughts on the need to further integrate academic and “work experience” requirements to become a professional engineer are pres...

Sustainable Product Design, Engineering and Management Education for Industrial Design Engineering

Developments in the field of sustainable product design are manifold, which means that education in this field is rapidly evolving as well. In this paper, the continuously evolving portfolio of courses offered at Delft University of Technology’s Industrial Design Engineering faculty is systematically discussed, with a focus on content, course formats, assignments and lessons learned from course...
