Expert and novice conceptions of the design process: Developmental differences with implications for educators Joan M.T. Walker1, Paul H. King1, & David S. Cordray2 Biomedical Engineering1 / Psychology and Human Development 2 Vanderbilt University, Nashville TN 37203AbstractIf educators want students to learn to think like experts, then we need to learn howexperts think. Addressing this issue, we asked what is “the wisdom” of biodesign (i.e.,what are the key concepts)? How do people at different points of professionaldevelopment define biodesign? Both questions were intended to inform our efforts toestablish experiences that support students’ understanding of the design

reduction, etc. The choice of the proper mass-separating agent from a greenengineering standpoint for the particular industrial separation is a key criteria to be presented.Ultimately a separation course should present sound rationale for the “green” integration ofseparation technologies in a reuse/recovery mode where valuable material(s) may be recoveredand reused in the overall process. These approaches should be applied in the discussion ofdesign and application of the various separation methods to the system being purified,fractionated or concentrated. Separation processes courses also need to encompass a broad rangeof both traditional and novel unit operations such that a student can see the pros and cons in theirapplication from a green

He asserts, “it is unacceptable, we believe, to go onusing research and publication as the primary criterion for tenure and promotion whenother education obligations are required.” [3:34] Additionally, Boyer maintains faculty“are often not rewarded for teaching while being penalized if they fail to do research.”[3:33] Boyer found that “for 70 percent of today’s professors, teaching represents theirprimary interest”; [3:43] however, faculty are often held to narrow—even constraining—expectations that limit their ability to develop as teachers within their disciplines.

The purpose of this phase is to incorporate theeffects of the physical layout into the block’s circuit design and address any performance issuesfound. The goals of the final design phase are to complete the circuit design and layout andensure that the final design including layout parasitics meets all specifications. Note that

The report ispresented at a summer faculty ABET meeting and, based on the findings, recommendationsmade for program improvement.

The development methodology encourages the use of a broad base of expertise to makethe outcomes widely applicable rather than discipline specific. The methodology can be used togenerate or stimulate discussion during faculty training regarding assessment activities in general,or as applied to a specific course. It can assist new faculty or those new to assessment orevaluation activities by providing structured guidance, for either broad or specific applications.ReferencesParker, P.E., P.D. Fleming, S
