Rather than seekinginsight through a systematic, precise analytic or synthetic framework, designers find insightthrough productive and continuous interplay between analytic and synthetic modes of practice.5. Fail Early, Fail OftenThis mantra is widely expressed across design thinking communities [25]. The premise is thatthere is much to be learned from low-risk failure, and that rather than striving to avoid failure bycareful planning and robust analysis, failing early in the design process will provide quicker,higher density learning so that success

andmanagement—often framing management as the bureaucratic straw man against whichleadership shines. Drawing on the work of Komives [5] and Bass [6], we locate this distinctionin the source of an engineer’s influence and authority. When an individual’s authority is rootedprimarily in organizational structures and is enacted through project planning, budgets, orcompany policies, we characterize it as “positional,” following Komives, or “transactional,”following Bass. When an individual’s influence stems from his or her capacity to motivate andinspire others, and is less clearly derived from organizational policies or structures, wecharacterize it as “process-based,” following Komives, or “transformational,” following Bass.By using the position/process

The firstunit segment must run in its entirety if the generating unit is dispatched, and has the lowestefficiency. Units then have one or two additional unit segments, each with an increasingefficiency, so the unit runs at its highest average efficiency when it is running at 100% of itscapacity. Each unit segment must be dispatched before the subsequent segment, and must be bidin at the same or greater price than the previous.Power plant operators must also plan for emergency maintenance and unexpected outages.

. Part of the grade is assigned based on the relative performance of the team’s solution compared to the best team. Because performance is measured in several categories, the team that is best in one category may not be in another. The demonstration periods provide key points for groups to observe and reflect.Our interest in experimentation and prototyping has been motivated both by our anecdotalobservations of many senior design teams and advice from industrial contacts. In the seniordesign process, students often attempt to build a final product without adequately planning forsubsystem interactions, non-ideal component behavior, verification of engineering assumptions,and other aspects where prototyping and design iterations
