Learning through DesignFindings from initial field studies of this work have focused on better understanding informalexperiences related to design [30, 31, 32]. With regard to where engineering design learningoccurs, the literature points to various educational contexts that effectively deliver engineeringdesign education. The most common settings include capstone design courses, first-yearengineering courses, and other non-traditional classroom experiences (e.g. Virtual laboratories).Strategies that involve authentic and longer-term engineering design experiences tend to be themost impactful in terms of student outcomes and perceptions, however those experiences are notalways implementable at larger scale. More traditional educational approaches

Students prefer adequate class timefor project work, and might attend meetings before or after school to have more access to freetime. Perhaps students could be allowed an EPICS study hall or laboratory option in theirschedule. Students want engagement with other communities doing similar projects. Theywanted “more communication between groups working on similar projects.” They also wantedto interact with EPICS alumni who are “now living an engineering lifestyle.” We have not yetresponded to either of these suggestions with program level changes
