for those relationships between the playgrounddesign process protocols and the final designs. To judge the quality of the subject’s final design,we have developed a quality score. This score is based on three parts: (1) criteria based on theproblem statement, (2) applicable supplemental criteria, and (3) qualitative ratings (aesthetics,design uniqueness, technical feasibility, etc.). Final design scores are linked to the quantitativedata produced from the coded verbal protocols. When completed, these models will providevaluable insight about those design processes that contribute most to the quality of the final de-sign, as well as indicate areas where teaching efforts may need to be concentrated31

Given the apparent difficulty students had in properlyidentifying situations with ethical content encountered in their project work, it seems clear thatany efforts made to improve the instruction of ethics must begin with this.

The overall goal of thisstudy was therefore to determine whether reducing course workload would be likely to “buy” anengineering professor better
