abstract

  • Findings from previous research focused on decision making and judgement in engineering design process show that both the quantity and type of information gathered distinguish experts from novice designers. As a component of a larger investigation of the interplay between students' mathematical and design thinking processes in design tasks, we focus this study on quantitative information acquisition and utilization.
