This paper explores the dilemma of education in participatory designand reveals the contradiction between marketplace values and community values in practice.Also, this paper utilizes the production possibility curve and the choice theory of demand sideto analyze the concept, value judgment, decision-making, and constraints of planning/designbehavior.IntroductionThe ideal of advocacy planning first proposed by Davidoff in the mid 1960’s. Theprofessional planners and designers who support this view vow to make planning for theneeds of the disadvantaged groups and persons their top priority.

digital modes, radio teletype(RTTY) using electromechanical teletypes, began in the late 1940’s. RTTY uses FSKwith a 1 represented by 2125 Hz and a 0 by 2295 Hz. Data is sent at a rate of 45 baud or60 WPM using the 5-bit Baudot code. RTTY is still popular, but now using PCs ratherthan teletypes. Many of the digital modes were developed using Digital SignalProcessing (DSP) development boards that have been replaced by current fast,inexpensive PCs using sound cards. Some modes use a TNC (Terminal NodeController), basically a modem with a built-in protocol, but these also can often bereplaced by a PC with a sound card and appropriate software.

S.Kitchener’s Reflective Judgment (RJ) Model [30]. These models measure students’ positionsalong a hierarchical construct of stages representing increasingly more sophisticated ways of un-derstanding knowledge and solving complex, open-ended problems.Perry developed his model from clinical studies of Harvard students in the 1960’s. As he inter-viewed student groups at the end of each academic year, probing their views of their universityexperiences, he observed patterns of thinking that were hierarchical and chronological. He trans-lated these patterns into a nine-stage model of development that he validated by a second, moreextensive, longitudinal study.

It was very beneficial in informing the KIT communityabout the Engineering Design program.The largest problem encountered in starting the program was finding faculty with the expertise,and interest, to teach 60 sections. To expose the students to a variety of ideas and different ways ofthinking, the courses were taught not only by Japanese professors, but also by foreign professorswith experience working for U. S. universities. The latter were assisted by teaching assistants whospoke both English and Japanese. Since these professors had varying backgrounds and interests, itwas apparent that standards

Student use linear regression to determine the “best fit” equation.All experiment design, data collection and graphing is done as homework.In class, a competition is held to see who can make their vehicle get the closest to a prescribeddistance, which is not known to students before class. Students use their graph to determine howlong to turn the motor(s) on. This rather simple exercise can be used to teach interpolation,extrapolation, linear regression, repeatability, resolution, and the concept of calibration [18, 20].Figure 6 shows one of the more creative vehicles built, a
