After the activity, the professors independently evaluated the team documents using adesign metric (e.g. RADD – Requirements, Analysis, Documentation, Drawings).A correlation was found between previous internship experience and an increased ability todesign and document this skill. This correlation appeared in both MET and EET disciplines.There were consistent results between the faculty members, using the RADD metric. Aconclusion from this work is that participation in internships as an undergraduate positivelycontributes to student’s design abilities.IntroductionEngineering design

Nearly every student whoattended the Making the Most of Site Visits learning experience said they captured a picture toprovide evidence of a particular engineering design challenge. One student expressed frustrationthe team forgot a camera because this student believed “cameras offer better evidence.”Engineering design educators may benefit from helping students learn to critically evaluatepictorial evidence.
