In the same bent, the MechanicalEngineering program at Montana State University once required students to keep design journals,but abandoned the practice when journal quality became poor. While the faculty intuitively feltthat journals could be valuable to aspiring engineers, especially in design courses, they haddifficulty assessing journals consistently and guiding students in good journaling practice.As part of a larger research effort to better understand student design processes, I proposed re-instituting journals in the senior capstone

We must immerse ourselves into an environment that provides sufficient intellectualinput to stimulate our mental processes – the creation of a mental infrastructure. The “Eureka”experience of Archimedes as he discovered the principle of buoyancy provides an example.According to the anecdote, he was obviously immersed in his work. Would he have made hisobservation if the question had not already been in his mind?Two of the author’s experiences may also serve to illustrate why it is necessary to become deeplyinvolved before an inspired idea occurs.
