Afterteaching freshman engineering for a number of years and observing the skills of recentlyentering freshmen, the question becomes are the secondary or high schools doing all they can tointerest students in a university engineering degree? What skills are necessary to help highschool students develop the skills and make the transition to a successful university academiccareer?

In this framework the design process is completed in fivesteps: 1) A student’s initial learning occurs through interactions with the faculty and teaching assistants (experts) in a social setting- the design class or lab. This type of learning is collective and public and represented by Quadrant #1. Students first seek to understand the design process and their project through social interactions in the classroom, laboratory, or within a team. 2) Next the team analyzes the design project and breaks it down to component tasks. At this stage students become individually responsible for particular
