Resumen
This paper begins with an overview of some of the issues and challenges of teaching engineeringanalysis and design. It continues with a summary of a design exercise that was run as part of theMudd Design Workshop II; this exercise was intended to be the foundation and springboard for adiscussion on analysis and design education by workshop participants. The design exercisedemonstrated that there is both compatibility and incompatibility in how we combine/juxtaposethe teaching of engineering design and analysis. Our educational system has many elements thatsupport our students becoming competent in both design and analysis. What is generally missingare opportunities for their use in an integrated manner. Some ideas are presented about how thisintegration might be fostered.
