Exploring the extent to which this goal is being met hinges on our ability to characterise what contributes to effectiveness and to map students’ performance against such standards. In previous work, we used verbal protocol analysis to analyse differences in the design processes of freshmen and seniors, the effects of interventions on student design processes, and process factors that contribute to product quality. In this paper, we utilise Schön’s reflective practitioner theory to discuss our empirical results in the context of educating reflective practitioners. Such an approach may provide implications for enhancing engineering education.
