Abstract :
A hands-on practical approach to teaching design in engineering courses is presented. This approach is based on the philosophy that students learn the fundamental laws and their applications to design most effectively through design practices which result in demonstrated success. Through such practice, they learn that success in engineering requires understanding the fundamentals and attention to details, they learn the science/art of the iterative design process, and they gain a great deal of self confidence
