Discovering Engineering Design in the 21st Century: An Activities-Based Approach

ACTIVE LEARNING EXERCISES ENGAGE STUDENTS. This book provides active learning exercises and a detailed list of resources to provide hands-on learning activities that engage students in identifying, formulating and solving open-ended engineering problems.

PROBLEMS OFFER REAL-WORLD CONTEXT. Problems are contextualized and related to professional engineering fields of practice and multiple engineering majors to help students produce solutions that consider public health, safety and welfare.

EXERCISES BUILD KEY ENGINEERING SKILLS. The open-ended exercises encourage students to analyze and interpret data, formulate and conduct experiments, and develop engineering judgment to draw their conclusions.

RUBRICS OFFER ADDITIONAL INSIGHT. Rubrics are provided to help students understand approaches to engineering analysis and design and to evaluate other students' work with respect to global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
