belief surveys. One of the most commonly used measures is Fisherand Peterson’s Adaptive Expertise Beliefs survey [1]. As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction. Results indicated a significant difference in overall adaptive expertise beliefscores. However, researchers did not find significant differences between the two groups on anyof the individual Fisher and

theimpact of PFX on students’ prototyping awareness. In this study, students at a large Mid-Atlantic university were taught three prototyping lensesbased on the PFX methodology: (1) Prototyping for Viability, (2) Prototyping for Feasibility, and(3) Prototyping for Desirability. This paper presents preliminary findings on the relationshipbetween these three prototyping lenses and students’ prototyping awareness, which we define asstudents’ ability to identify their mental models during the prototyping process. We useprototyping awareness as a proxy to measure adoption and implementation of PFX methods. ThePrototyping AWareness Scale, or PAWS was created for this study, and we discuss its internalconsistency and future iterations. Data were
