Abstract
Existing studies show that D/A/A (Disassemble, Analyse, Assemble) activities can become a popular pedagogy to provide engineering design students practical hands-on experience in the classroom, however, there are no standardized guidelines on how to make the most out of these activities leaving this task to the experience of the professor at work. The experiences in developing a guiding manual for the implementation of these activities adapted to the specific requirements of a curriculum in engineering design considering its learning objectives and fundamentals are presented in this paper.
Keywords: engineering design education, design research methodology, reverse engineering, hands-on activities
