, and then choosing the"best" alternative. When a team sees the construction and performance of the artifacts producedby other teams, they may see the result of pursuing a path which they had considered and rejected. This causes them to reflect about whether or not they did make the best choices, and whether ornot their modeling and analysis were appropriate.ConclusionsOur main conclusion is that design competitions offer a superb way of creating enthusiasm, andreinforcing and even evaluating learning at all levels of engineering education. The principalweaknesses are that they usually do not provide students with much with the earliest stages ofdesign (problem formulation, client needs analysis, development of design requirements), do notforce

eleventh week of eachacademic section is not unusual. Student burnout becomes noticeable to instructors by the sixthor seventh week; by tenth week, covering new material generally proves both inefficient andineffective.The workload described above creates a situation familiar to educators, but perhaps more severehere. First, students perceive themselves as having little if any time to think about underlying Page 2.444.2ideas, ponder the meaning of answers found at the end of equations, or prepare for class simplyfor its sake. Most students run from one graded deadline to the next, trying to maximize eithertheir grade or their grade-to-effort ratio

The helicopter is mounted on a ball jointsupported platform which is attached at the end of the arm.

boring. The academicperformance level of these students is often below those who are learning graphics for the firsttime. Also, the educational value added by the introductory course is typically much larger for thenovice when compared with students who have mastered the fundamental graphics techniques.Historical grade distributions in these courses are either typically skewed toward the upper end ofthe grading scale or show a bimodal shape. We assume that placing students into a graphicscourse consistent with their background and preparation will enhance both student and teacherperformance. The students will be more motivated if they feel that they are learning somethingnew. Enabling the instructors to focus on the novice student population
