Abstract
Design education has become an important part of the curriculum in engineering schools. Design courses are set up to allow students to learn techniques and then to implement the techniques for better understanding. Schools currently are challenged to overcome the limitations of time, resources, and on how to fit this into the current curriculum. An alternative and unofficial method of teaching design is in the many student design competitions that are available. In most cases these are student run with very little input by the educational institute. Yet our understanding is that many large employers of engineering students would prefer to hire graduates with experience on these design teams. I would like to discuss the challenges of implementing and maintaining a student design team. I would also like to discuss the principle of using these design teams as a more formal method of teaching design to engineering students.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
