B. Gallois, Keith Sheppard
Abstract
The Stevens engineering curriculum was recently revised to extend the design experience to every semester and in effect create a Design Spine.This metaphor additionally reflects the other major change to provide a much greater level of integration between engineering science and design courses to enhance learning.Open-ended projects together with experiments in the design courses are chosen to provide context for and reinforce the engineering science
