Abstract

The instruction of design in engineering curricula has long been controversial. New influences such as changes in industry practices, changes in the approach of the profession, as reflected in accreditation criteria, and changes in the legal and regulatory environment within which we must operate, mandate some rethinking of design instruction. Some traditional approaches continue to be useful, but new technical materials and methodologies must be incorporated into already crowded curricula. Some suggestions are provided in this chapter.
