The introduction of design methodology within a four year baccalaureate program presents two major problems. First, when do you offer this course in a four year program based upon the student's knowledge of science, engineering, computers, mathematics, and his/her communication skills? Second, how do you create a course with the goals of enhancing a student's design experience, provide a meaningful design project or projects, and prepare the student for more complex design requirements in upper-division curricula? Henry Cogswell College, located in Everett, Wa. has implemented such a course at the sophomore level entitled GE 290, Introduction to Engineering Design. It is designed to give the student a realistic feel of an engineering design environment, promote communication and team work among the students, and expose the cause-effect relationship of the design process. It will also serve as a midway check point in an outcome based assessment process

The traditional methods of testing both hardware and software within a product's lifecycle has evolved into various methodologies, some successful and others not so successful. These various strategies have grown in importance and the traditional phases of coding and then testing no longer have definitive boundaries. The traditional scenario of “design”, code, and then “toss over the wall” for testing is no longer applicable. Henry Cogswell College, has responded to this importance of the testing process from industry in information technology with a new course entitled CS 472, Software Testing and Reliability. Prior to the introduction of this specialty course, software testing was covered only in a software engineering course. The goal of this course is to prepare students for software testing management, testing considerations, designing for testing, and exposure to these various methodologies. Various design techniques for product reliability, quality assurance, and applying various testing tools and methodologies are studied and applied in a classroom environment. The end result is to achieve a product that is reliable, effective, and produced at or under budget and also “on time”. The application of automated test cases and the strengths and weakness of synergistic applications are also explored

... In early years, software testing (ST) was mostly thought as one of the chapters in SE course, not as its own course. Thus, own ST course should be designed by taking into account elements of test management, test considerations, test design and test methodologies [13]. [14] proposed a holistic approach to do this by integrating following components: framework, common testing experiences, testing methods, test lab, test product and test services. ...
