Open full text 50 citations

Abstract

A "good" design process is perhaps best defined by its output-good design processes produce good design outcomes.As part of an NSF-funded research effort to better understand student design processes, we developed two assessment instruments to measure the "goodness" of a design outcome.This paper describes the development and validation of the two instruments, presents the instruments and their implementation, and reports validation statistics on the initial data collected.
