Engineering Case Studies

This is a collection of information on engineering cases. These are accounts of real engineering projects that are written for use in engineering education. The accounts are not highly technical, and are quite readable by those with the appropriate interest.

Contents

* What's New?
Recent additions to the case collection.

* The Case Catalog
A catalogue of over 250 cases maintained by the Center for Case Studies in Engineering. Abstracts are available, and the catalog may be searched by subject classification or for all reports that are available electronically.

* On Writing Engineering Cases
A paper that describes how to write case studies in engineering, including what a case is, how to choose a subject, writing style, etc.

* Engineering Cases in the Classroom
A paper that describes how to use engineering case studies in the classroom, including the role of the instructor in leading discussion, preparation, arrangement, etc.

* Note on Engineering Cases
A short treatise on the use of engineering cases.

* Workshop Notes [ New! ]
An extensive set of notes for a workshop on using cases in education.

* Design in Materials Courses? Naturally! [ New! ]
Paper on how engineering cases may be used to introduce more design content into the engineering curriculum. See Part I, Engineering Cases and Part II, Consulting Problems.

* Other Case Collections [ New! ]
A list of other sites that maintain collections of case-related materials.

* Test Our New Case Catalogue [ New! ]
We're in the process of setting up a new case system. This system contains new cases not available through the original system.
