that they wanted to avoid keepinga design notebook, which is a requirement for the EPICS class. After discussions with the currentstudent leaders, it was determined that the actual differential of work between EWB-USA andEPICS is not that significant and the benefits of the additional accountability of being graded forcredit motivated the change in policy to limit the number of audits.The EPICS curricular and assessment processes aligned very well with the EWB-USA structureand philosophy. Both EPICS and EWB-USA promote and rely on strong student leaders. TheEPICS structure did not reduce the student leadership and it allowed the inclusion of theprofessional mentors.

It is argued here that substantial prior training may lead to more effectivelearning exchanges irrespective of whether it is undertaken as a tutor with one or twostudents, perhaps in a cooperative learning group, or as an instructor with a class of twentystudents.However, this brings into question the role that educational studies may have more generallyin engineering programmes.It is argued that students may benefit more if they have to teach an unfamiliar subject and thetraining may be linked to the preparation

Thus engineering education’s framing of issues as problemsmay serve to create an engineering education system that gives rise to, or exacerbates, thoseperceived problems. For example if it is widely believed there is a significant retention problemin engineering a possible solution would be to create a new first year course to better prepare1 In the late 1920’s a group of investigators from Harvard University were able to observe people at work in theWestinghouse Electrical Company’s works in Chicago. It was found that productivity increased among someworkers when the conditions of work had been changed for the worse with the expectation that productivity
