. Since the individual isstarting to use personal judgment by determining which elements are important, they begin todevelop an emotional investment. Dreyfus hypothesized that when an individual investsemotionally by taking responsibility for success and failure in making correct decisions, a higherlevel of learning takes place. This is what limits the advancement of expertise in a schoolenvironment, as few projects are implemented and therefore do not involve consequences offailure or rewards of success. Proficient individuals start to draw on their emotional experiences from successes andfailures to help them determine which elements of the situation or problem are important to focuson.

teamwork, ethics, social context, and other broadconsiderations. The need to teach design has traditionally been addressed in Capstone courses.There is a trend to introduce design earlier in the curriculum such as through first-yearintroduction to engineering subjects or through required design “cornerstone” subjects2.A difficulty frequently observed in design projects is that students begin work too late. This hasbeen referred to as “time scallop” -- as deadlines are approached, effort levels rise rapidly andfall back to low levels repeatedly2. A challenge to implementing early design experiences inengineering programs is the readiness of the student population for hands-on design work. Fewstudents have been exposed to manufacturing equipment in
