The Engineering of Engineering Education: Curriculum Development from a Designer's Point of View
Rompelman, Otto; De Graaff, Erik
European Journal of Engineering Education, v31 n2 p215-226 May 2006
Engineers have a set of powerful tools at their disposal for designing robust and reliable technical systems. In educational design these tools are seldom applied. This paper explores the application of concepts from the systems approach in an educational context. The paradigms of design methodology and systems engineering appear to be suitable for both analysing existing education and designing new curricula. (Contains 13 figures.)
