Sebastian Adolphy, Kilian Gericke and Luciënne Blessing (2009) The overall goal is to raise the probability that engineers give good estimates. Therefore support for engineering practice and education should be developed. In particular a method for explicit, discursive estimation, enabling designers to give good estimates should be worked out. In addition proposals for an appropriate integration of estimation should be derived, regarding its importance and functioning in the systematic product development process. As a result of this advice for rethinking engineering education shall be given. This contains integration of estimation as a method, as well as adequate compilation and representation of all subject matter, regarding the requirements of developing estimation competence.
