Abstract :
Results from student design experiments, with a focus on the human factors aspect, reveal that parameters of relevance to design cost and quality vary considerably among designers. These parameters include design time, mean number of design operations between design errors, and gate cost. Simple cost models illustrate the impact of these parameters on cost and quality, and ultimately, profit and loss
