AB  -   IDEA-Pen: Interactive Design and Analysis through a Pen-based InterfaceIt is important to teach students how to support their design decisions with analysis and toexplore several alternative ideas. Current computational tools have a steep learning curveresulting in a significant investment of time and also in increased cognitive load which leads tothem being used as tools to validate a design rather than in them being used for exploratorydesign iterations. The IDEA-Pen project aims to provide students with a more coherent andconnected experience with learning engineering design and analysis by facilitating the learningof both design and analysis through a natural, intuitive, and portable pen-and-tablet-based systemcalled ‘IDEA-Pen’. This tool can be used to provide immediate answers to questions like ‘what-if’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ through new modes of multi-user and computing interaction, increasingunderstanding of concepts and student satisfaction, both inside and outside the classroom. Wewill explore if the nature and quality of discussions improves as a result of introducing this toolto support classroom and laboratory discussions and instruction in a course. IDEA-Pen bridges acritical gap between engineering design and design engineering by enabling users to study theirdesign behavior and to explore different design options at an early stage even before the detaileddesigns are made. The tool will impact the conversations in the classroom of today, stimulating amore dynamic environment by increasing active student participation and teacher-studentinteractions, and quality and new types of in-class demonstrations. This can potentially changesome of the pedagogical principles followed in the classroom today and also enable the transitionfrom a teacher-centered to a student-centered model of education.
