collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al.

Second, we wanted to “set the stage” for what was to come: both to providefoundational technical preparation in CAD, design, and analysis, and to establish studentexpectations of engineering as a socio-technical enterprise. Third, as capstone and other designprojects became increasingly multidisciplinary, we hoped to develop a common foundation inthe design process, with students from all engineering majors (and any non-engineering studentswho choose to enroll in Introduction to Engineering) learning a common, shared language ofdesign.The redesigned course model for our institution’s Introduction to Engineering consists of

Of particular interest is whether the presence of a prototype exemplar contaminatesthe design process for novice designers. That is, does the prototype exemplar cause novicedesigners to fixate on particular design features thereby limiting creativity or does it help them toexplore a greater variety of design possibilities?The concept of designers fixating on particular design features is

Given the overcrowded traditionalengineering curriculum, it is not surprising that students do not improve their creative processingskills. The proliferation of assistive software for design has an impact on student training as well.For example, sketching was a critical skill in traditional engineering design but the practice hasbecome less important to students as computer-aided drawing tools have become available tothem.Industrial and academic leaders long expressed concerns about the impact of
