The results from this study show that there arestatistically significant differences between novices and experts while designing. The findingsestablish an empirical foundation for improved engineering education and motivation for furtherresearch. By building on existing knowledge of the cognitive differences and similarities betweennovices as developing learners and experts as target performers, a better understanding of theircognitive behaviors can be learned. This understanding is essential to identify appropriate learningexperiences to reduce the performance gap between expert and novice designers.This paper presents

In Principles of Design course, the students will author these documents, and write aproject proposal, perhaps for their senior project in the following year. So the experience in thefirst class gives them working knowledge of how the document is actually used, albeit in asimple project. The feedback from the instructors in the Principles of Design class indicates thatthe students are eager to engage in the work and understand the purpose of the documentationfrom their experiences in Engineering Practice.There is also anecdotal evidence that the team skills, design
