focus on realization rather than iteration[41]. Studies into strategies to prototype efficiently and effectively often have a specific focussuch as rapid prototyping [2,17,22,34,39], planning [6,8,10], conceptualization [11,14,15,21,29]or how prototyping fits in the overall design process [5,9,16,18,22,24,27,30,33,35,36,37,40,41,44].While several methods have been devised to bridge the gap between digital and physicalprototyping in specific contexts [2,10,15,17] such as rapid prototyping, few efforts have been madeto codify a method for the decision-making process between digital and physical prototypes ateach stage of the design journey. In exploring the physical design space, several studies haveconfirmed that because many concepts in the
projectsAbstractEngineering curricula featuring senior design experiences may be the first time students have anopportunity to experience a team-based, open-ended authentic design. The curriculum at a small,urban, private school is centered around a series of hands-on, client-based design courses in eachof the four years of the plan of study called the DesignSpine®. Projects are completed over thecourse of a full academic year. Clients for these student projects are mainly external industrypartners, with some internal faculty or departmental clients and a small number of competitions.Faculty serve in multiple roles, including technical consultants and project team coachesthroughout the program.While historically successful, semester evaluations and team status

Data collected and analyzed in the pilot study suggests that graph-based complexityanalysis is a promising approach to measure learning in engineering design. The objectivemeasurements presented in this work show a trend of change in knowledge from before theintervention to after, and ultimately a partial relapse in the retention session. In addition to thesystematic evaluations of the concept graphs, the following observations are notable. • Many of the participants had “requirements” in their concept maps created in the “after” session.

affordances for authenticity of role-play-basedproject work in a Swedish upper secondary software engineering course. The project requiredstudents (aged 17–18) to assume the role of software engineer employees at a web-designbusiness with the task of creating a website for a gaming company, where the course instructorassumed the role of the web business owner. The six-week project included the formulation of adesign plan, back-end programming, developing and refining the design and layout, adjustingcontent for accessibility, and publication of the web site. Inductive analysis of observations fromthe unfolding role-play in five student groups (total 22 students), and interviews with fourstudents and the teacher exposed salient themes related to
