It incorporates active and student-centered learning as part of in-class assembly line simulations. Since then, it has evolved from three class periods to five. The module begins with two classroom presentations on manufacturing operations and electronics design, assembly, and testing. Students then participate in an in-class assembly line simulation exercise where they build and test an actual product per written work instructions. They reflect on this experience, and suggest design and process changes to improve the assembly line process and quality, save time, and reduce cost and waste. At the end of the module students implement their suggested design and process improvements and repeat the exercise to determine the impact of their improvements. They learn of the importance of Design for Manufacturability, well-written work instructions, process design, and designing a product not only for the end user, but also for the assemblers and inspectors. Details of the module, and its implementation and assessment are presented along with student feedback and faculty observations.</p>","PeriodicalId":54960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Education","volume":"34 2B","pages":"599-608"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6364985/pdf/nihms-1006398.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36948442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both place heavy emphasis on identification of customer needs, manufacturing methods, and prototyping. Industrial designers focus on aesthetics, ergonomics, ease of use, manufacturing methods, and the user's experience. They tend to be more visual and more concerned with the interaction between users and products. Engineers focus on functionality, performance requirements, analytical modeling, and design verification and validation. They tend to be more analytical and more concerned with the design of internal components and product performance. Engineers and industrial designers often work together on project teams in industry. Collaboration between the two groups on senior capstone design projects can teach each to respect and value the unique contributions each brings to the project team, result in improved design solutions, and help prepare students for future collaboration in industry. Student feedback and lessons learned by faculty and students from a ten-year collaboration between engineering and industrial design students from Marquette University and the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, respectively, are presented. Students learned to communicate with people in other disciplines, appreciate the complementary skills of each discipline, and value different approaches to problem solving.</p>","PeriodicalId":54960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Education","volume":"33 5","pages":"1513-1520"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6051719/pdf/nihms926986.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36332061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such pedagogies lie at the core of studio-based design education, having been used to teacharchitects since the Renaissance. Today, design assignments and studio-based learning formats are finding their way intoengineering programs, often as part of larger movements to implement Student-Centered, Problem-Based Learning (PBL)pedagogies. This spectrum of pedagogies is mutually supportive, as illustrated in the University of Michigan’sSmartSurfaces course where students majoring in engineering, art and design, and architecture collaborate on wickedlycomplex and ill-defined design problems. In SmartSurfaces and other similar PBL environments, students encountercomplex, trans-disciplinary, open-ended design prompts that have timely social relevance.Analyzing data generated in studio-based PBL courses like SmartSurfaces can help educators evaluate and trackstudents’ intellectual growth. This paper presents a rubric for measuring students’ development of increasingly refinedepistemological understanding (regarding knowledge and how it is created, accessed, and used). The paper illustratesuse ofthe tool in evaluating blogs created by students in SmartSurfaces, which in turn provides evidence to help validate therubric and suggest avenues for future refinement. The overall result of the exploratory study reported here is to provideevidence of positive change among students who learn in PBL environments and to provide educators with a preliminarytool for assessing design-related epistemological development. Findings of this study indicate design-based education canhave powerful effects and collaborating across disciplines can help engineering students advance in valuable ways.","PeriodicalId":54960,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering Education","volume":"32 1","pages":"364-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67750067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
