  abstract =     "Our experience in designing and teaching a
                 cross-disciplinary freshman design class has led us to
                 believe that students entering design fields (e.g.,
                 computer science or engineering) are saddled with
                 na{\"\i}ve or (mis)conceptions about design and design
                 activity. It is our belief that for students to become
                 effective designers, they must be helped to recognize
                 and overcome these misconceptions through appropriate
                 educational interventions. To better understand the
                 nature and substance of these misconceptions, we
                 conducted a descriptive survey study of 290 freshman in
                 a technological institute. Our findings begin to
                 suggest a consistent profile of misconceptions across
                 declared majors that start to explain observations we
                 have made of na{\"\i}ve designers in our freshman
                 design class. This paper reports on those findings.",
