An approach for engineering curriculum integration in capstone design courses

The current emphasis in design education is to integrate the engineering design function with all relevant engineering (as well as non-engineering) disciplines. This paper presents an approach to foster engineering curriculum integration both within a specific engineering field and between engineering fields. First, the nature of integrated design will be discussed. Then a curriculum integration approach will be presented and illustrated, followed by two other supporting integration techniques that can be used in the classroom to help engineering students wrestle with the synthesis of their undergraduate engineering education.
