The strategy we useis to limit the scope of the project, simplify the problem, and provide the basic information that is “Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright ©2005, American Society for Engineering Education”just enough to solve the simplified problem. In fact, this is another practice we wanted thestudents to experience and appreciate. That is, for a preliminary design, it is often best tosimplify the problem, and grasp the main thread to give a close approximation before spendingtime and energy to solve the full scale question.At the beginning of the

From past collaborations, we were aware of a grocery store design prompt that ourcolleague, Dr. Ayush Gupta, had adapted from engineering education researchers and educators(credit for the design of the original prompt goes to David Radcliffe, Robin Adams, and MonicaCardella at Purdue University). The original (2011) formulation of this prompt was: “A grocerystore is losing customers because they have become annoyed at how long it takes to check out.There is not space in the store to add more checkout lanes, but something must be done. You arehired as a consultant to help the company” [10].Through Dr. Gupta’s use of this prompt in his own introduction
