Overall, ifstudents can better understand the cost and time trade-offs of manufacturing processes, they arebetter equipped for their engineering careers in an industry setting since this understanding is a keyfactor in ensuring efficient design development.7 AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Mr. Thomas Gilman for his contributions in defining this work.References[1] Daly, S.

exposing them at anearly stage in their career on the problem-solving skills they must develop to get their designaccepted by owners, who are measuring success partially through conformance to their self-identified budget(s). In addition, this opens an avenue for curriculums to expose students to leanconstruction methods, thereby embracing cost controls while reducing waste in construction. Ashift into these educational models can provide tools for the students to achieving value for theirclients while getting their designs built.Cost Projection Tool Development to Facilitate Cost Projection for Design Students Design students need to learn cost projection as part of the design process in order to helpthem prepare to adapt to the changing

In thispart of the process, identities and relationships between actors are presupposed and OPPs are defined.Making a parallel with the design thinking cycle, the problematization would be the equivalent to“empathize” and “define the problem”, where engineers are trying to understand the problem, itsrequirements, and constraints.In the second stage, interessement, the definitions presupposed through problematization can bestabilized, disputed, or rejected.
