techniques are more appealing to some engineers than others, as well ashighlighting the importance of recognizing and appreciating the value of cognitive diversitywithin design teams. The implications of all these findings will be discussed in the context ofengineering design education, with recommendations for application and future research.2. Psychological Inertia, Cognitive Diversity, and the Engineering Design StudentWhen one is faced with an engineering design challenge, the ability of the designer togenerate potential solution concepts during the early stages of the design process is stronglyimpacted by that individual’s “psychological inertia”8. Psychological inertia, from thecognitive perspective, is a direct function of all the biases the
