<abstract displayLabel="Summary">In this paper the authors report a longitudinal and qualitative study of the thought processes of semi-expert electronic engineers engaged in design projects. Design constitutes the central intellectual activity for professional engineers and a psychological understanding of the cognitive processes involved is potentially of great practical importance in at least three areas of application: the education and training of designers; the development of tools and environments for aiding the design process; and the development of automated design within intelligent computer systems</abstract>
