Figure 3 shows these iterations in a timeline. The behavior of this team is similar tothe expert designers’ behavior reported by Dwarakanath, S. and Blessing22 who found that expertdesigners entered the searching for concepts (alternative solutions) phase earlier but had morestep backs to the clarification of the task in their proceedings.

Design in Engineering Education

Role of Tools In TeachingSince the mid 1990’s, there has been significant pressure applied to engineering educators byaccreditation boards to re-vitalize the real-world, open-ended, hands-on nature of engineering1.Undergraduate engineers are now being taught to design for the man-made environments inwhich they live – environments which widely require tools to be manipulated. Can we expectstudents to understand the process of hands-on design if they cannot engage in it? Although thefirst year design and communication course at the Schulich School of Engineering is not atechnical based course, it is one of the few opportunities students have to become exposed tobasic hand tools during their undergraduate academic careers.

Advisor Views Project Team Development and OrganizationAs noted for the Tibetian project, the Tufts student chapter of EWB is strongly controlled bystudents who assume the leadership role in project development, design, implementation andfunding. This project had an expansive team of 30 students involved in its development andorganization. Advisors are kept abreast of the team efforts but by no means are team leader andcoordinator. This could be problematic since it requires a strong student leader(s) to keep theteam focused and on schedule. As the travel date got closer, many of the final details, thoughcompleted, were rushed. Therefore, better time management and project schedule is required.Another area of concern was communication with
