The research attracted more students that were interested in thebusiness aspect of engineering technology. The student researcher investigated the electronicsmanufacturing industry and their planned obsolescence strategies. They researchedtechnological, functional, perceived, and instantaneous planned obsolescence. One of theinteresting conclusions drawn from this effort was that technological planned obsolescencenegatively impacted the waste stream through an increase in electronics waste (or e-waste)within municipal solid waste (MSW).

In this work we show that bothplatforms can be used to simulate attrition and persistence scenarios for thousands of digital agent-students simultaneously to produce results that agree with both with previous qualitative data andthat agree with aggregate attrition and persistence statistics from literature.

Outcomes that occur from initialbrainstorming activities are thus important for understanding and improving design choices,decisions, and constraints. Researchers both inside and beyond engineering have sought toexamine different outcomes, processes, and relevant factors associated with brainstormingeffectiveness. To examine brainstorming outcomes, Shah Shah et al. (2003) developed a metric toevaluate ideation effectiveness in terms of novelty, variety, quality, and quantity. This frameworkhas been applied to numerous subsequent studies to provide a means to interpret brainstormingoutput from engineering design processes. The
