**Author details**

*New Innovations in Engineering Education and Naval Engineering*

Low involvement of issues in

and physical science phenomena

Element to assembly design approach (down-up)

Content MED as extension of Engineering Science

Humanities

Modelling Simplified mathematical models

Learning Study of independent machine elements

Emphasis Engineering and scientific novelty

**Traditional Proposed**

Outputs Engineering drawings Working models and/or prototypes

*Summary of differences between the current and proposed MED teaching approaches.*

MED as new body of knowledge, using GEPs\*

Mathematical and non-math models to deal with science and non-science constraints in design

Less time on independent elements, but more on

Assembly to element design approach (top-down)

Problem solution as simply, safely and economically

their interdependence in an assembly

Design codes, catalogues, standards, etc. Elements from Humanities primarily drive most of

MED and even, regulate it

optimization

as possible

The work in case No. 1 was funded by Cape Peninsula University of Technology

The author's interest in this, and other related work, is driven by an insatiable desire to make students realise that by their last year of undergraduate study, they can already have an inner ability to start contributing to make their societies live

The author thanks his student, Riel Haupt, for his drive and courage even after the almost fatal accident. Special thanks go to Riel's parents for supporting him.
