Adding Reflection and Oral Communication to a Design Project – Work in ProgressReflection-in-action was encouraged in a junior-level design project by providing a competitor'sdesign to teams. Students then compared their designs to the competitor's design in an oralpresentation. The competitor's design had calculations errors and a different, less expensiveprocess than most of the students chose to use. Interesting questions developed as studentscompared their designs to that of the competitor. Methods, transferability, pitfalls, and futurestudies are discussed in the paper.IntroductionA colleague [placeholder for blind review] and I have taught similar junior-level courses atdifferent universities for a

Substantial interaction between mechanical engineering andentrepreneurship students in a senior level capstone course resulted in noteworthy improvementsin final project quality [3].When entrepreneurship is present, as it is in this study, a recent literature review identified a needfor more studies that measure its educational impacts [4]. This is not a new conclusion.Immersion in a process, such as the one conducted in this study, or even a simulation allowschildren to learn extensive amounts of information in short periods of time [5].
