(Phase 2)Once phase 1 is complete and the benchmarking team has been formed, the identification of thebenchmarking subject (i.e., focus of the benchmarking process) must be completed. During thisphase, it is important that: • The desired areas to be benchmarked are identified; • The number of areas is narrowed down to key areas that can realistically be impacted; • The importance of each area is determined based on priorities; and • The final benchmarking subject(s) are identified.Through multiple conversations between the assistant director of The Center and one of theauthors, several desired areas to be benchmarked were identified. In particular, the assistantdirector was interested in benchmarking interventions with regard to

Researchers areable to use Energy3D to see all student design actions, their final design artifacts and relatedperformance of their artifacts on key design criteria.
