This paper focuses on outlining the implications of these results for the education ofengineers and of engineering managers. The paper also discusses the study methodology, and theresults from the initial data collection. One goal is to present the methodology for comment thatwill help us improve it. A second goal is to identify colleagues who are interested in workingwith us to expand the range and number of engineers and organizations that are observed.Engineers defined.

They were also allowed to experiment with different materialsand different construction techniques.
