Universal Design in Engineering Education

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...
