摘要：Design is the ultimate integrating activity in an engineering program. Design engineering is exactly the coherent thread that correlates the various engineering and scientific subjects taught. Integrated courses that take basic engineering concepts and connect them to related concepts in other subject areas provide superior learning experiences for students and help produce engineers who can better understand the “global picture.” As a test of the above, and with an objective to advance the theory of teaching design engineering in an integrated fashion, the authors of this paper launched a pilot program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT).
