. The Dym and Little’s model consists of five phases: problem definition (PD), conceptualdesign (CD), preliminary design (PYD), detailed design (DD), and design communication (DC)[15]. All phases are high-level abstractions of the design process. Also, this model describesspecific design strategies related to each design phase. As an example, in the problem definitionphase, the model guides the designer to analyze the design problem by assessing the client’sneeds and constraints, establishing metrics, and interpreting the client’s problem statement toengineering goals and requirements. Understanding the problem is a crucial step in all problem-solving activities [4], [5], [23] including engineering design [24]. Using the model’s list ofdesign

The interviewprotocol also included questions designed to understand the communities that participantswere involved in during their first year (e.g., “What kinds of groups did you associatewith during your first year?”). These questions enabled us to understand the degree thatfirst-year engineering programs impact students’ engineering identities and communitiesin comparison to other activities participants participate in during their first year ofengineering.

to explainwhy they followed those algorithms.The present study focused on analysis of misconceptions of Electrical Engineering Technology(EET) freshmen, sophomore, and senior students studying the phenomenon of electricity. Thefield of electricity was chosen because it contains scientific, technological, and practicalconcepts, which are frequently misunderstood. Clear understanding of phenomena is particularlyimportant for Engineering (and Engineering-Technology) students because new graduatesbecome analysts, designers, and problem-solvers responsible for the entire spectrum of decisionsat work places. Hence, inappropriate engineering decisions, some of which can result fromlingering misconceptions about phenomena, may have critical
