Design methods used by undergraduate engineering students

Abstract The design methods of 14 final year mechanical engineering students were studied using a modified video protocol. The design efficiency of each student was estimated by the variance from a regression analysis of the sequence of design processes each followed. Their design work was evaluated in terms of the quantity of output and the quality or effectiveness of the final design. Using rank analysis, it was shown that there is a positive correlation between the effectiveness of the design and the efficiency of the designer.
