Students, on the other hand, tend to form a framework ofunderstanding based on specific experiences or examples and then accept a general concept –inductive learning. As a

Unlike courses which focus on acquisition ofnarrow, domain-specific knowledge, design courses often emphasize application of a broadspectrum of knowledge. The importance of design, particularly capstone, courses arises bothfrom their purported impact on students and because of their disproportionate role in assessmentand accreditation in many program 2. Despite the importance of design courses their formatvaries widely and outcomes are not standardized across programs. The goal of many designcourses is to teach
