Finally they individually worked on a project where they attempt to alignimages of embryos according to species and stage of development (Figures 1-3). At the end ofthe last activity they were told that the reason it is so hard to align the images correctly isbecause all these species came from a common ancestral species that had DNA instructions forearly development that all the different vertebrate species still share, and that what makes thespecies different are the

communication must be thoughtfully designed tohelp readers make meaning of data. Such visual design for readers requires our students tobecome metacognitive of their own experience as consumers of visual communication. Yet oftenengineering students are not prompted to think about or design visual data communication untilthey must present their own data, typically as part of a senior capstone project. Our students’ lackof experience leaves them without a solid foundation for critical thought about figures, and thuswith scant preparation to learn from the experience of creating and refining them. If capstonesare to be an opportunity to learn about visual communication rather than simply perform it,students are in need of a swift means to gain perspective

Today’s students desireextensive control over how they get their information both in their courses and in their lives, andthe mixture of “life” and “work” information is complex.
