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 taught concurrently. The Design Spine will also provide the vehicle to develop key competencies in problem solving, effective communication, project management, ethics, economics of engineering, teaming and industrial ecology in an evolutionary manner throughout the sequence.
