design provided anopportunity to see the impact of a controlled intervention on students (in a typical largeuniversity environment) who have had three years of training predominantly under the deductivelearning model where emphasis is often not placed on the application of theory to real worldproblems.The Experiment In the live simulation, the students experienced being an aircraft design engineer for afictitious aircraft company called Ace Aero. The students used a combination of electronic toolsand real world role playing in order to simulate the aircraft designer experience. These realworld industry level design tools included the computer CAD tool CATIA by Dassault Systems,the synthesis tool ModelCenter® by Phoenix Integration, and
