We believe that these findings will potentially motivate the engineeringeducation community to actively implement asset-based approaches in design instruction, andfurther develop and test more nuanced strategies that draw upon students’ funds of knowledgeand cultural wealth.IntroductionEngineering design is typically recognized and taught as a team activity, with cornerstone andcapstone project-based courses requiring students to work on teams and to navigate
onlycreating relevant, contextually fit solutions for clients, but also by providing resilient responsesto the changing constraints and opportunities external and internal to the organization.Unfortunately, the value-adding role of designers and indeed design project successes can behindered by inadequate management of organizational tensions that persist over time and arewidely experienced as paradoxical. Adopting the concept of ‘polarity management’ by BarryJohnson, this paper aims to unpack the nuances of two particular polarities: (1) Design Rigourvs. Cost Effectiveness, and (2) Collaboration vs. Efficiency.The data are drawn from a larger grounded theory study on sociotechnical knowledge integrationin engineering design.

theproposal. To illustrate, sometimes an idea stews for a good while in the form of an initial concepton which a team of colleagues continues to ponder and explore a direction for a particular topic andthe viability of the project. Conversations through collaborative interaction, among team members,are critical in bringing the most effective articulation of proposal pieces, and the multitude of pointsof views, from a collaborating team, enable a powerful array of avenues in building to the mostcompetitive proposal: in short, a group genius approach is far more productive than a solo centeredmodel. For example, the working group may have continual conversations, read, try things in thelab, ponder and pilot aspects of the work, etc., before even
