全国各地的工程学校正在开发将设计融入课程的方法，经常出现的一个问题是如何最好地将设计融入大二和大三课程。新生设计项目或机械解剖课程旨在为学生提供概念设计和施工方面的实践经验，很少使用工程设计中通常使用的数学建模。顶点高级设计项目是一个真正的工程设计经验，学生从他们的背景绘制概念化，分析，建模，完善和优化产品，以满足设计，制造和生命周期成本要求。大二和大三课程应协助学生从“座位的裤子”大一设计方法过渡到顶点经验和工程实践所需的工程设计方法。本文总结了三年的努力，将设计融入材料力学课程，但得出的主要结论将适用于大多数大二和大三的工程科学课程。
Engineering schools across the country are developing ways of integrating design into their curriculum, and a question that often arises is how to best integrate design into the sophomore and junior level courses. Freshman design projects or mechanical dissection courses are designed to give the students hands‐on experience in conceptual design and construction, with little if any of the mathematical modeling normally used in engineering design. The capstone senior design project is a true engineering design experience, where students draw from their background to conceptualize, analyze, model, refine, and optimize a product to meet design, manufacturing, and life cycle cost requirements. The sophomore and junior level courses should assist students in making the transition from the “seat‐of‐the‐pants” freshman design approach to the engineering design approach required for the capstone experience and engineering practice. This paper summarizes a three year effort at integrating design into the Mechanics of Materials course, but the principal conclusions drawn would apply to most sophomore and junior engineering science courses.
