This relationshipbetween sight and thought provides each of us with unique ways of drawing and thinkingcreatively. For these reasons, seeing and thinking should be viewed as an integral part ofsketching.”6Before a student can create forms from nothing (without a visual stimuli) most students mustlearn how to see what exists before them. Further, they must be able to see beyond what theythink they see.

”.In “Capstone” projects, some instructors may notice that students show a preference formachined parts in their designs. This may result from the ready availability of educationalmachine shops and familiarity with those manufacturing processes. Machined parts are oftenrelatively expensive in production and geometrically simple. In addition to their value in DFXeducation, problems like these may help students develop visualization skill with complex 3-Dparts and assemblies, or lead them to consider using additive manufacturing processes moreoften in design.GradingGood conceptual design practice calls for the generation of many alternative ideas, and someauthors believe criticism can discourage this activity.

to the limitedscope of class design projects and lack of real-world industry experience, student understandingof the necessity of clear design communication is often lacking. Strict grading of designdocumentation and frequent instructor feedback can improve the quality of documentation, butdoes not help students experientially understand its importance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using “design swapping”to improve both the quality of design documentation and the quantity of discussion and feedbackamong teams during design reviews.

; engineering design decisions are consequential for the design and how it performsupon implementation. To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting. Typically,explicit instruction related to decision making includes an introduction to rationalistic tools, suchas decision
