在本文中，我们报告的结果进行了深入的研究，工程学生的方法，以开放式的设计问题。我们收集了口头协议从61名大四（第四年）工程专业学生和重新分析协议从32名大一（第一年）工程专业学生，因为他们工作的两个设计问题。这些学生群体的设计过程进行了比较。结果表明，高年级学生产生更高质量的解决方案，花更多的时间解决问题，考虑更多的替代方案，并在设计步骤之间进行更多的过渡比新生。该数据集还包括18名受试者内参与者的方案。这些学生首先作为新生参加了这项研究，后来作为高年级学生参加了这项研究，这使我们有机会在学生个人层面上比较设计过程随时间的变化。最后，本文包括两个设计问题的设计过程差异的结果。(c)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
In this paper we report the results of an in-depth study of engineering student approaches to open-ended design problems. We collected verbal protocols from 61 senior (fourth year) engineering students and reanalyzed protocols from 32 freshman (first year) engineering students as they worked on two design problems. The design processes of these student groups were compared. Results show that seniors produced higher quality solutions, spent more time solving the problem, considered more alternative solutions and made more transitions between design steps than the freshmen. This dataset also includes protocols for 18 within-subject participants. These students participated in the study first as freshmen and later as seniors, affording us the opportunity to compare design process changes over time on the individual student level. Finally, this paper includes results for design process differences across the two design problems. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
