Design Education in Transformation: Leading Colleges and Vendors Collaborate to Tackle an Age-Old Problem

The “Holy Grail” of engineering education has been the reconciliation of theory with design. Why are the math and physics courses so disconnected from the application courses like control and mechatronics? Why are design concepts not directly integrated into all courses instead of just capstone courses or senior projects? The answers to these questions lies essentially in history and tradition but the reality of modern engineering in industry is now colliding with this legacy.
