To address this potentialissue, a preliminary interest survey for the 2018 professional development workshop askedapplicants if they prefer a two-week training with weekends free or a delivery of nine days in arow. The results were split, and therefore the 2018 training will be delivered in the sametimeframe but with additional sessions for reflection. Table 3.

representation reflecting the designer’s interpretation of the current situationand desired situation. Consequently, problem framing is an essential part of the engineeringdesign process. Also, engineering design situations often involve multiple, conflicting views andstandpoints, which requires engineers to consider various contexts including both technical andnon-technical issues in structuring and representing a design problem for the situation. Jonassenet al. (2006) illustrate that an engineering design problem involves a variety of goals andconstraints that sometimes contradict each other and include not only technical but also non-technical factors. In terms of the non-technical goals and constraints, they state that engineeringdesign

This experience allowed them tomake an informed choice of their preferred portfolio for Units 2, 3, and 4.
