or fulfill a purpose in the most efficient manner possible.”2 “My definition of engineering design has changed as a result of our group and class discussion during the tutorial. While I still believe that at its core, engineering design is the process by which engineers analyze problems and come up with solutions that are feasible economically, efficient, and safe, I have added some side notes to my definition. I believe there are other considerations engineers must keep in mind while designing products. The aesthetics and elegance of the design are also important. In addition, the product should provide some level of innovation. This could be coming up with an altogether new product or simply improving

This participant was very attentive to all details of his design, and made sureto list all resources and constraints before the project got going. He was also the only participantthat suggested looking at other playgrounds for examples. His design obtained a high qualityscore. He moved through the process with a procedure in mind, which at the end seemed to stophim from finishing completely, as it appeared that he was used to completing multiple iterationsor having more time to revise. So, what I usually probably would do at the very start is to read the whole thing again to make sure I

whencompared to other similar students. Penner et al.23 demonstrate that students who designedphysical models better understood science models, though their instruments seemed biasedtowards these students. Further studies are needed to evaluate the learning of engineering.However, with respect to some engineering habits of mind, researchers have shown that designprovides an opportunity for students to test their preconceptions21, creatively develop uniquesolutions through multiple paths13,14,24,25, engage in systems thinking25, iteratively refine theirdesign and thinking20, learn from failure18,26, collaborate and communicate22,24,27, manipulate andreflect with materials15,18,21,26, and ethically and civically design for people28.

drafting or graphic texts7. Visualization encompasses at least the relation betweentwo-dimensional representations and real 3-D objects16 and the capability to relate and formimages connecting these two worlds17. Everyone involved in the design process agrees that theability to visualize is a vital skill and a new and effective method of teaching visualization mustbe found. Keeping in mind the rapid change in technology, some people focus on the conceptualaspect of the engineering and drafting process, and perceive the current CAD tools as draftinginstead of design tools10. Instructors fear that sustaining Computer Aided Drafting in designeducation will lead to the loss of hand drawing skills20.Benefits of Computer Aided DraftingThe benefits of
