A Review of Practical Design Integration Methods for Existing Engineering Curriculum

Abstract: serving as an Associate (2005Associate ( -2007 and Assistant Professor (1999Professor ( -2005 of Mechanical Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. He teaches undergraduate courses in design methods, biologically inspired design, and machine element design and graduate courses in product design and dynamics. Dr. McAdams research interests are in the area of design theory and methodology with specific focus on functi… Show more

“…There are many methods of design integration, but this paper will focus on three main types of design integration as identified by Morris & McAdams: Project-Based, Design-Based, and Inquiry-Based design integration [5]. The principles behind each method were studied and subsequently incorporated in the creation of a 17-page adaptable guide, which is included in Appendix I.…”

“…This method requires students to apply theoretical knowledge obtained through coursework and lectures to solve a given problem as specified by the instructor. In some cases, the instructor may provide a model design solution that the students can reference as they devise their own answer to the provided prompt [5]. Professors act as facilitators of this process, guiding students to resources where appropriate and providing students with the tools necessary to shape their design approach.…”

“…Undergraduate engineering programs have increasingly incorporated design projects, not just as first-year and capstone experiences, but in core courses as a spine [2][3][4][5]. However, there are many decisions to make in developing a design project and for those who lack the resources that are sometimes invested in capstone experiences, many limitations.…”
