In addition, this is well aligned with Ulrich who notes decisions in product development are contextual and boundary spanning.  Creating a framework that supports a variety of design tools, models, and best practices. As a template, the framework should accommodate a variety of paths through the design process but also support a particular path should the instructor specify one.  Being extendable to include other context themes such as cultural, societal, environmental, sustainable, and ethical. A key measure of design process success is developing a solution in a broader market and societal context.  Creating a framework to encourage creativity and innovation by

This includes thesocial, technical, and ethical aspects of technology. Tech Tally identifies threedimensions of technological literacy as shown in Figures 1 and 2. These are knowledge,capabilities, and critical thinking and decision-making. Engineering educators whoreflect on this perspective will note that most engineering classes focus on the capabilitiesand knowledge dimensions, while the dimension of critical thinking and decision-makingis not well-represented in the engineering curriculum.Figure 1: A Graphical Representation of the Three

Some of the outcomes have proven to be challenging to assess within anacademic setting, especially those that focus more on soft skills such as professionalism, ethics,lifelong learning, and teamwork.6 Since the implementation

Few owners appear to place importance of appropriately funding thepreconstruction phase and thus by estimating the design services fee using a percentage ofconstruction costs or by square footage, they inadvertently cap the design effort [4]. To estimatethe number of hours that design professionals can spend on a given project, architects andengineers divide the total preconstruction budget by their hourly rate. If the amount of hours isnot enough to complete the design, design professionals must figure out how to complete thedesign while fulfilling their contractual and ethical obligation to the owner. Without sufficienthours to complete a design due to a tight hourly budget, design
