Innate design abilities of first year engineering and industrial design students

The design work of two groups of students, 226 in total, entering engineering and industrial design courses were studied using the retrospective review method. The design methodologies adopted, their communication skills, and the technical knowledge expressed in their designs were compared. The analysis showed that experience and choice of course had a significant influence on the development of design ability.
