But this approach has been tried for a long time, without significant success.

greatest concern from the participants in the original VISION project was the overwhelming amountof material that the teachers covered during the three weeks. The industry experiences were packed withactivity from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The teachers felt that time was needed to process some of what they haddone in the activity. In VISION 95, the participants had at least an hour each day to discuss the activity with theother teachers. If needed, industry hosts were available during that time for consultation. Another complaint of the initial VISION participants was that the required drop-in lesson plan requiredmore preparation time than allotted.

in concert with previouslyacquired material from earlier classes. The fact that groups will complete assigned projects atdifferent rates allows the instructor to see which teams may be weak in their overall design andorganization skills.Included in the specifications of these small incremental designs is the requirement that eachgroup “paper design” their designs prior to committing them to a computer simulation scenario.This concept was suggested by one of the industry advisors who claimed that design engineersusually “jump” directly to the computer simulator without ever putting pencil to paper. Thisadvisor claimed that without initial preparation and forethought, designs take longer. It was alsosaid that this longer design time made for
