The design trinity,employed in an environment of participatory inquiry 13 is intended to engage the novicedesigner in a way that develops a sense and rigour to their design work. It is intended tooccupy a mid-point between the “man-on-the street” approach (an endless cycle of build/fail)and the highly sophisticated use of successful design methodology.

This being said, MIT stood somewhere within the spectrum of institutions that spanned the British and more analytical continental traditions in engineering education.2 Industrial expansion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries drove the curriculum at MIT and elsewhere away from fundamentals.3 It was in response to this, and to conversations within our own society, that the MIT

Page 11.1025.4• Cooperative & Collaborative Learning: Cooperative learning and collaborative learning are two popular terms used to describe modern engineering education. They both describe a learning environment where students work together towards a common learning goal. Often the two are used interchangeably though they are not identical. As described by Karl Smith et al1, cooperative learning is highly structured and includes positive interdependence (all members must work together to complete task) as well as individual and group accountability.
