Innovative convergenttechniques enable the evaluation and selection of ideas through the analysis of approximateor soft information (e.g., Pugh Matrix) and using more qualitative assessments (e.g.,Kawakito Jiro Method).We propose to expand, adapt, and link this classification approach to the psychologicalinertia of the designer, providing a framework which instructors and students can use to makebetter choices about the techniques they adopt in the early stages of a design project. Inaddition, we propose that techniques can also be ordered in terms of cognitive level –specifically, in this case, in terms of the degree of

The simulation game implemented a basicprotocol of Stop and Wait in the data-link layer. They found the simulation game method aremore effective than traditional lecture presentation. The understanding level and motivation of thestudents is also dramatically improved. But the concept of the protocol is simulated as a gamerather than presenting animation to students.

. The question Catrambone likes to ask–and the thread that runs through the projects he does alone and in collaboration with others–is: What does someone need to know in order to solve novel problems or carry out tasks within a particular domain? Catrambone’s research interests include problem solving, educational technology, and human-computer interaction. He is particularly interested in how people learn from examples in order to solve problems in domains such as algebra, probability, and physics. He explores how to create instructional materials that help learners understand how to approach problems in a meaningful way rather than simply memorizing a set of steps that cannot easily be transferred to novel problems

In addition, he is also interested in the learning experiences of international students.

The first prototype of the CVCLAB was built in 2009 andfunded by a grant from the Department of Labor through the Wall Street West project. Over theyears, we have improved the CVCLAB to support various hands-on activities. The CVCLABwas founded with the following objectives: ● Enhance the pipeline of information assurance and security employees to industry through outreach and continuing education: In order to recruit and train future information security professionals programs, we have organized information security themed discovery

In-class exams form the primary assessment mechanism for evaluatinglearning and establishing student grades.The increased focus on problem solving in an inverted format led to significant changes in theway that time is spent during class meetings. Prior to inversion about half of the total classmeeting time was spent on lecture content, and only about a quarter of the total class time wasspent on problems. The problems that were included were presented with the instructorcompletely leading the solution. In many cases, complete or partial solutions were given in

Finally, other software applications that promote interactivity inthe classroom should be considered in conjunction with Tablet PC use.5. AcknowledgementsThis project was supported by Hewlett Packard

Engineeringstudents take courses in mechanics of material, machine design, finite element analysis andcapstone senior projects.

It may benoted that in every case but one when this comparison is made, the groups perceive that there aremore differences than seem to actually exist. The one exception is students. They perceivefewer differences than seem to actually exist. Perhaps this is due to their lack of experience.Why do these perceived differences exist? The data obtained from this project cannot answerthis question, but it is important to understand these preconceptions may exist among groups andindividuals so that problems in the design process may be avoided.These data may also be analyzed in another way that could be useful.
