Engineering Education for Inclusive Design
Detailed Overview

Project Home | Detailed Overview | Staff

EEID is a collaborative planning effort between Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT), the Education Development Center (EDC), and NCAM. The goal of this one-year effort is to develop a framework for the development of a case-based approach for integrating inclusive design into engineering education curricula. The project is conducting case research and convening engineering educators, representatives from industry, and experts in inclusive design and the case method. Through these activities we are developing a protocol for developing case studies and identifying design criteria for case studies to insure that they are effective for supporting teaching and learning about inclusive design. The design protocol and criteria will be disseminated to faculty and administrators at RHIT to inform a planned large-scale implementation effort, and to other engineering schools around the country that have expressed an interest in integrating inclusive design into their programs.
