运用多种定量和定性的方法考察工程设计学习，我们发现，参加工程设计课程和/或学习工程四年的学生获得了更大的实践社区共同的工程设计语言，以及他们自己的项目和高等教育机构共同的工程设计语言。这项研究还表明，工程设计语言塑造了学生关于工程设计的知识。最后，学生并不总是将他们的设计知识付诸实践，这表明需要改进教育和研究来弥合这一差距。
Using multiple quantitative and qualitative methods to examine engineering design learning, we found that students taking a course in engineering design and/or studying engineering for four years acquired engineering design language that is common to a larger community of practice as well as common to their own programs and institutions of higher learning. The study also suggests that engineering design language shapes the knowledge that students have about engineering design. Finally, students did not always put their design knowledge into practice, suggesting the need for educational improvements and research to bridge this gap.
