从ABET强调整合整个课程的设计经验已经开始呼吁全国各地的工程部门采取行动。这就要求工程教育工作者在各种工程课程中包括设计，并防止这种强调预示着每门课程的主题材料。当设计工作不是一个单独的实体，而是一个可用于教授工程基础知识的附加工具时，需要一种全面的方法。本文报道了一个机构在响应号召，整合设计整个工程课程的进展。美国海岸警卫队学院（USCGA）已经建立了一个设计理念，将设计教育视为一个发展过程，在四个本科年的每一年都要实践。为了将这一理念付诸实践，USCGA重组了工程课程，以确保学生每年在课程中体验设计内容。这种将设计视为发展过程的观点与该机构的广泛教育目标是一致的。本文介绍了设计工作的例子，从课程在每一年的学生的教育，以说明各种各样的设计问题，用于将设计跨课程。在美国的经历。S.海岸警卫队学院一直是积极的，并表明整个课程计划的设计可以实施，而不会大大影响教师的工作量。
The emphasis from ABET to integrate the design experience across the curriculum has initiated a call for action to engineering departments across the country. This challenges engineering educators to include design in a wide variety of engineering courses and to prevent this emphasis from foreshadowing the subject material of each course. A comprehensive approach is needed where the design work is not a separate entity, but rather is an additional tool which can be used to teach the fundamentals of engineering. This paper reports on the advances of one institution in responding to the call to integrate design across the engineering curriculum. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) has established a design philosophy that treats design education as a developmental process to be practiced during each of the four undergraduate years. To put that philosophy into practice, the USCGA has restructured the engineering curriculum to ensure that students experience design content in their courses each year. This viewpoint of design as a developmental process is consistent with the broad educational objectives of the institution. This paper presents examples of design work from courses in each year of the students' education to illustrate the variety of design problems used to incorporate design across the curriculum. The experiences at the U. S. Coast Guard Academy have been positive and indicate the design across the curriculum initiative can be implemented without drastically impacting faculty workload.
