由工科学生和专业人士组成的15个小组在执行模拟设计任务时被录制下来。使用交互分析发现，专业团队更有可能参与管理活动，概述总体设计理念，而不是忽视详细的规范。专业团队也试探性地坚持早期的设计人工制品；早期的设计尝试被视为获取更多关于设计空间信息的实验。学生团队更有可能在整个设计过程中参与生成和测试模式，对他们当前的构件进行增量改进。虽然小组的数量很少，但这些模式很强，差异在统计上具有显著意义。作者认为，这些差异有助于指导工程师的培养，有助于理解是否应该将学生作为工程设计研究的实验对象。
Fifteen groups composed of engineering students and professionals were videotaped while performing a simulated design task. Using interaction analysis, it was found that professional teams were more likely to engage in management activities, outline an overall design philosophy, and not overlook detailed specifications. Professional teams also adhered tentatively to the early design artifacts; early design attempts were viewed as experiments for acquiring more information about the design space. Student teams were much more likely to engage in a generate and test pattern throughout their design process, making incremental improvements to their current artifact. Although the number of groups was small, these patterns were strong and the differences were statistically significant. It is suggested that these differences are useful for guiding how engineers are educated and for understanding whether students should be used as experimental subjects in engineering design research.
