Yip-Hoi, Western Washington University Dr. Yip-Hoi received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan in 1997. Following his Ph.D. he worked for several years with the NSF Engineering Research Center for Reconfigurable Machining Systems also at the University of Michigan. His work involved supervision of sponsored research projects that focused on developing software applications to assist manufacturers design and plan operations on manufacturing systems

In this group, students initiated and engaged in personal sewing projects in a universitymakerspace and documented their experiences weekly as they planned and executed theirprojects. We look at traces of student activity through this self-authored documentation, focusingon how students saw design, how design practice or thinking manifested in their projects, andwhat resources supported their engagement with design.We present our findings in two parts.

Design is rarely a linearprocess, it is iterative in nature. Each design project is unique, there is no one process to followfor design. In general, the design process can be described as: • Define the problem (which includes establishing objectives and criteria, and developing a plan), • synthesize math, science and engineering knowledge to develop alternatives, • evaluate the alternatives (through testing, analysis

solve problemsstrategically. Many studies [3, 7] have found that students’ cognitive and metacognitive skills(i.e., monitor and control one’s own cognitive processes) play an essential role in problemsolving processes.The application of one’s metacognitive skills can be observed through what that particularperson does for a particular given task. Brown [2] identifies metacognition through activitiessuch as planning, monitoring, and revising. Paris and Winograd [11] offer a more comprehensiveview where metacognition can be observed through two essential features of metacognition; (a)cognitive self-appraisal and (b) cognitive self-management. These two metacognitive featuresinvolve cognitive and motivational issues such as skill and will, which
