If they have fun doing it, their being inspired. This is exactly how our team works. You build something, try it out, and use your engineering skills to improve it or redesign it if it didn't work out right. I personally don't see how people can get students into engineering by having 2 students cad it while everyone else waits around for parts.
While I don't necessarily have a problem with your answer, before CAD there was Plain Old Drafting.
