The Influence of Learning Strategy and Performance Strategy upon Engineering Design.
Abstract
This report answers questions raised in Progress Report 3 (AD-A050 460), and clarifies the hypotheses being tested and the measures being employed as determinants of cognitive style and design products (reaction simulator, in the first design task). The report contains a brief account of two designs produced by two expert designers. Since design time proved longer than expected, steps were taken to reduce design time. As a result, it should be possible to conduct the entire experiment (including tests and team design task) within 50 to 60 hours without losing the essential features of the first task; in particular, the designer may innovate by analogical reasoning within the (electronic) task domain or between the task domain and the (physical chemistry) application domain. An initial breakdown of the first design task is provided.
