Complexity engineering: New ideas for engineering design and 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...

Semantics for Digital Engineering Archives Supporting Engineering Design Education

This paper introduces the challenge of digital preservation in the area of engineering design and manufacturing and presents a methodology to apply knowledge representation and semantic techniques to develop Digital Engineering Archives. This work is part of an ongoing, multiuniversity, effort to create Cyber-Infrastructure-Based Engineering Repositories for Undergraduates (CIBER-U) to support ...

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...
