Waterloo Cases in Design Engineering (WCDE) is a group in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo dedicated to promoting and facilitating case-based learning in engineering education. Formed in 2005 by Professor Steve Lambert, WCDE develops and implements cases across all Engineering disciplines. Through a formal case development process, the cases are written to demonstrate designing methods and illustrate practical applications of engineering science. WCDE also provides guidance on how to teach and learn using the case method and provides teaching notes for instructor many of which include prepared presentations, simulations and multimedia material.
During this session, Steve and David focused on how to use case studies in class including a demonstration of case-based teaching using an actual case study.
