Engineering Design Process

Vance, Brian · ATE Central (National Science Foundation) · 2005

This presentation, from Brian Vance at the Engineering Technology Pathways project, walks students through the nine steps of the engineering design process, including identifying a problem, gathering information, building a prototype, and communicating the solution. Each step is elaborated with examples and issues in its application that students may encounter when they actually begin to design. This is an excellent introductory lecture or presentation for students just entering an engineering design classroom.

Engineering design process.

<div> Background Integrating engineering design processes into science education has become a significant priority in STEM instruction. However, many science teachers face difficulties incorporating these processes due to limited pedagogical expertise. Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools such as ChatGPT offer potential support mechanisms by evaluating lesson plans and providing formative feedback. This study investigates the reliability and validity of GAI evaluations compared to expert assessments. Methods This mixed-methods study involved 43 science teachers who received professional development over four months to integrate engineering design into their lesson plans. A total of 52 lesson plans were evaluated using structured and unstructured prompts via ChatGPT 4.5, alongside evaluations by expert mentors. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman methods to assess inter-rater consistency. Qualitative data was analyzed through open and deductive coding to interpret differences in evaluation rationale. Results Findings revealed high consistency between structured prompt AI evaluations and expert assessments (ICC = 0.708), while unstructured prompts showed low and non-significant agreement (ICC = 0.076). Qualitative analysis indicated that AI evaluations, particularly those using structured prompts, tend to be more positive and holistic, whereas experts offered more detailed and critical feedback. Differences were also observed in evaluating dcomponents like problem definition, testability, and interdisciplinary integration. Conclusion Structured AI prompts offer reliable and valid evaluation results comparable to expert assessments and could serve as scalable tools in teacher support systems. However, unstructured prompts produce inconsistent outcomes and require refinement. The study highlights both the potential and limitations of using GAI tools for pedagogical evaluation in STEM education. </div>

Engineering Design, Improving the Design Process

P. John Clarkson · Cambridge University Engineering Department Publications Database · 2017

I rejoined the Engineering Department in April 1995 from PA Consulting Group where I was head of the Advanced Process Group. My research falls under four main areas, each strongly influenced by the needs of designers, industry and users: Process Management; Change Management; Healthcare Design; and Inclusive Design. The works submitted represent each of these areas of research and, in addition, Design Practice which is now led by two of my former graduate students.

Introducing Design Process In Engineering, Engineering Technology

Somnath Chattopadhyay · 2020

Abstract NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu of an abstract Session xxxx Introducing Design Process in Engineering, Engineering Technology Som Chattopadhyay Department of Industry and Technology Ball State University Muncie, IN 47306 Introduction An innovative set of projects introduced in a regional campus of a state university (with which the author was affiliated prior to his current position) forms the basis of this paper. Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) is the sixth largest public university in Indiana with an enrollment of 12,000 students. Typically a commuter campus (although residence halls have opened since the fall of 2004) the students are a mix of part and full time students, as well as one of traditional and non-traditional types (who have been out of school for several years). The School of Engineering, Technology and Computer Science (ETCS) has an enrollment of about 1500 students and comprises of five departments, that of Engineering and Computer Science and three Technology departments. The introductory freshman course ETCS 101 is a required course for all ETCS majors, which provides them with an introduction to the various departments within the School of ETCS, counseling and career information along with some team projects. A new project introduced during the fall of 2003 and continued through the spring of 2004 forms the basis of this paper. This project involved the design of posters to convey the solution of an open-ended problem devised by student design teams. The teams were asked to identify a problem area or opportunities for improvement in the campus that could be solved or executed with in an assumed budget of $1000.00. The goal of the project was to reinforce the concept of the engineering design process in the very beginning of their academic careers. This activity effectively demonstrated the importance of graphical, oral and written communication skills as well as teambuilding skills essential in engineering design. The Poster as a Communication Medium The poster is a convenient way to present technical information. It is a static visual medium that can be used to communicate ideas and messages. An effective poster helps one engage people in conversation and is instrumental to get the author’s main points across to as many people as possible. It all starts with an idea and the challenge is to turn that idea into a succinct image and support that image with a combination of pictures and short blocks of text. In short the objectives of the posters were to provide the engineering, technology and computer science freshmen with the following: Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and Exposition Copyright © 2005, American Society for Engineering Education

PROMPT ENGINEERING ON THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS

Rod M Valentine · 2024

Exploratory use of prompt engineering in generative AI is undertaken in engineering design teaching.The initial findings using Bing Copilot and Chat GPT on the design process are presented.Research on the influence of prompt construction is of interest, and multimodal AI searches for an engineering component image show it does affect the AI's output.AI is shown to be of moderate use in creating a product design specification (PDS) and elements of a morphological chart.Whilst AI's natural language processing (NLP) outputs look very convincing, they need to be checked for technical accuracy.
