3. Timeline • 1995 – 2000: EDC development • 01-02 Academic Year • Series of meetings address “design throughout the curriculum” • 02-03 AY • Planning year supported by NSF grant • IDEA chartered • Pilot courses taught under regular departments • 03-04 AY • Courses offered under IDEA name • Design Certificate and Bachelors in Manufacturing and Design Engineering (MaDE) offered

4. Technical specialist Gets the job done! Can understand and analyze the physical and mathematical underpinnings of his/her field Works effectively with both the abstract and the physical Works problems through to a complete and realistic solution Creator of value Identifies and solves real problems within a social and economic context Works well in cross-disciplinary teams Adaptive learner Communicates effectively Responsible decision-maker DESIGN IDEA’s Vision: What an Engineer Should Be

5. IDEA’s Mission • Educate outstanding design engineers: technical specialists and creators of value • Do this by providing the curriculum and infrastructure that supports design at every level: freshman through senior as well as graduate Achieve a national and international reputation in a competitive environment of peer institutions

6. Curriculum Infrastructure EDC Collaborative Environment (began in 1996) required for all engineering students Physical : Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center, Shops Virtual: CAE, collaboration, information access, knowledge management Design Certificate (began 9/03) : may be earned alongside any BS in engineering Expertise -IDEA 298 Institute -IDEA 370 Projects IDEA Faculty Fellows IDEA Staff Adjunct Faculty IDEA Affiliates -IDEA 398 -Elective courses -Design Portfolio MaDE (began 9/03) rework of existing accredited Assessment Bachelor's in Manufacturing Engineering Key to continuous improvement MPD (began in 2002) Professional master's in product development

Core (2.5 units) IDEA 298 IDEA 398 Interdisciplinary Design Projects I & II Taken as a two-quarter sequence Jr. or Sr. year IDEA 370 Engineering Design Portfolio & Presentation Taken SQ Jr. year or FQ Sr. year Electives (3.5 units) Design e.g. manufacturing, solid modeling, industrial design Social Sciences e.g.cognitive psychology, knowledge management, negotiations Business and Society e.g. entrepreneurship, invention and innovation, engineering law Certificate in Engineering Design Requirements

12. Design Process… …from conceptual to ‘concrete’ and detailed IDEA teaches design process: research, analysis, evaluation, decision making

13. Teamwork… …with faculty, peers, and project mentors IDEA teaches team development and project management

14. Communication… …with clients, users, and team members …in design reviews and final presentations IDEA teaches written, oral, interpersonal, and graphical communication

15. Concept Development System-Level Design Detail Design Testing and Refinement Production Ramp-up Planning IDEA 298/398: Multidisciplinary Design I & IIStudents take on challenging design problems Class projects usually end about here IDEA “Institute Projects” will be continued until they reach about here The product development process taken from: Ulrich, Karl T., and Steven D. Eppinger, Product Design and Development, Irwin McGraw-Hill, Boston.

16. Example of an Institute Project: the NÜberwalker Objective: Create an inexpensive body-weight support treadmill training system for home use to help stroke patients regain normal gait patterns. Sponsored by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Waiting customers: • 10 RIC patients • 1 member of the McCormick Advisory Board

17. Trajectory of an Institute Project Team: Kyle Reed, David Weir, Michael Duffy, Joaquin Martinez Fall 03 Team: James Sulzer, Ryan Williams, Peggah Kamalinafar, Eric Huang, Vanessa Puzon Winter 04 Team: Carl Allen, Linda Zhang Spring 04 Team: Erick Haro, Piotr Lizak Summer 04 Team: Amy Conaway, Erik Langeteig, Ben Villagra Fall 04 Status Fall ’05: With support of an NCIIA grant, 4 beta units are under construction
