Design skills and knowledge are critical to all fields of engineering as engineers design innovative solutions to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. Developing students? design understanding and abilities is thus a critical enterprise for the field of engineering education. However, a key ingredient in the design learning process is the feedback that students receive on both their design products and design processes. This engineering education research project builds on the investigators? prior experiences with characterizing and improving the feedback that instructors (as well as students themselves) provide on engineering students? mathematical modeling work. In this project, the investigators examine the differences that exist in the feedback provided by expert design educators compared to newer design educators compared to students (in peer review) to (1) characterize the form and substance of the feedback that expert design educators provide to promote learning and (2) develop materials to help students as well as less-experienced instructors learn how to provide better feedback. These materials will first be used to help local (i.e. Purdue) students and instructors to provide better feedback, and after assessing the effectiveness of the materials, the investigators will share the materials widely through publications and workshops to provide opportunities for other educators to improve their design feedback skills.The findings of this research will have impact across design education and enhance the ability of faculty to create experiences that meet the attributes being called for by engineering accreditation boards, the National Academy of Engineering, and industry leaders in today's global economy. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers through preparation of an engineering workforce with new capabilities and expertise.

设计技能和知识对于所有工程领域都至关重要，因为工程师设计创新解决方案以满足当今和未来的需求。培养学生？因此，对设计的理解和能力是工程教育领域的一项重要事业。然而，设计学习过程中的一个关键因素是学生在设计产品和设计过程中获得的反馈。这个工程教育研究项目是建立在调查人员的基础上的？以前的经验与特点和改善反馈，教师（以及学生自己）提供的工程专业的学生？数学建模工作。在这个项目中，研究人员检查存在的差异，在专家设计教育工作者提供的反馈相比，较新的设计教育工作者相比，学生（同行评审）（1）表征的形式和内容的反馈，专家设计教育工作者提供促进学习和（2）开发材料，以帮助学生以及经验不足的教师学习如何提供更好的反馈。这些材料将首先用于帮助当地（即普渡）学生和教师提供更好的反馈，并在评估材料的有效性后，研究人员将通过出版物和研讨会广泛分享这些材料，为其他教育工作者提供提高设计反馈技能的机会。这项研究的结果将对整个设计教育产生影响，并提高教师的创造能力。这些经验符合工程认证委员会、美国国家工程院和当今全球经济中的行业领导者所要求的属性。该项目与NSF的战略目标重叠，即通过准备一支具有新能力和专业知识的工程队伍来改变前沿。
