Abstract

Engineering students require strong design and communication abilities to succeed in today´s competitive workplace. To help students meet these needs, Fall 1995 faculty at Arizona State University (ASU) began teaching an innovative new core course, Intermediate Engineering Design (ECE300), which integrates engineering design and engineering communication. In ECE300, which is the only course team taught by engineering design and technical communication experts, faculty collaborate to help students develop their critical thinking abilities and improve the quality of their designs, documents, and presentations
