Abstract
In this paper, the author researched to enhance course outcomes while increasing the interest in engineering design through the 'Introduction to Engineering Design Course'. Deviating from the current practice of engaging in content-oriented lectures, the redesign of the weekly lecture has been conducted with a focus on learning achievement in order to enhance design competency, teamwork and communication skills, which are the goals of the PO3, PO6 and PO7, respectively. Moreover, assessment tools have been developed according to learning achievement, and rubrics, the measurement criteria, have been defined according to the respective assessment tools, along with course goals for learning achievement and results analysis. To enhance course learning achievement, as well as to induce interest in and satisfaction with the 'Introduction to Engineering Design Course', a design project utilizing a Boe-Bot robot has been carried out. An evaluation on learning achievement and lecture has identified an increase in learning achievement and interest in design in comparison with that of previous lectures.
