This paper examines the challenges project teams experiencedspecifically related to their use of engineering economics methods in making decisions during theengineering design process and formulates a series of lessons learned that may guide futureinstructors in planning community-engaged projects with their students.1 IntroductionEngineering capstone design projects are a critical part of the undergraduate engineeringcurriculum that binds the training and education received to a real-world application to preparestudents for lifelong careers as engineers.

a junior Optics course taken by physicsand electrical engineering students. Possible project extensions of this system includeimplementing two-way communications, implementing remote time transfer and clocksynchronization, and simulating atmospheric turbulence effects by inserting frosted plates intothe laser beam.Conclusions We have presented a few of the design considerations of advanced laboratory tools thatare being used in the laboratory curriculum of an interdisciplinary engineering and physicsdepartment. Specific plans and schematics are available from the authors upon request. Futurework on this project will emphasize the experiences of students and faculty members that learnfrom or teach with these tools, including the use

We draw on this work in our similar goal offoregrounding HCD mindsets in STEM courses.Capstone courseWe created and ran a semester-long capstone experience for undergraduate computing studentswith an interest in HCD. Two of the authors on this paper executed the course and the third wasinvolved in the course planning and research.Our research goals were to understand how to integrate human-centered mindsets and practiceswith technical learning goals in STEM education. This included understanding how STEMstudents with an HCD background approach a design task with a human participant,understanding what additional support was necessary, identifying opportunities where HCDcontent could be seamlessly integrated with STEM project goals

Instead, instructorsare encouraged to add short discussion pieces like having students explain a concept, describehow a principle or object works, or find and discuss a real-world application. The prompt can bedeveloped to target different learning outcomes and levels [12].

Remote events were especially difficult because of fatigue associated withremote learning and work along with the COVID-19 pandemic, this did give AHIC leadershipsome anxiety about how many students would attend. When we hosted an event, we did create apre-sign-up sheet sent digitally that gave us a rough estimate of how many students would beinterested and planned to attend. We learned that only about 25% of students from the pre-sign-upsheet actually attended the event.Another lesson we learned relates to what is colloquially called the

Construction engineering graduates are expected to work in an activeenvironment performing various tasks including planning, estimating, scheduling, and managingthe construction process. Many new graduates joining construction companies come fromconstruction or civil engineering programs and fewer come from mechanical or electricalengineering.

AsMaier observes, “Architecting, the planning and building of structures, is as old as humansocieties — and as modern as the exploration of the solar system” [22]. When viewed in thisgeneral context, engineering is more of a science, and architecting is more of an art. Or in moredetailed level, engineering is concerned more with quantifiable costs, architecting more withqualitative worth [22]. Or as per INCOSE’s SEBOK definition, “System Architecture is abstract,conceptualization-oriented, global, and focused to achieve the mission and life cycle concepts ofthe system” [23].

. Buthow do well-developed spatial skills contribute to engineering student success? In previousstudies with elementary students, children with good spatial skills were able to create strategicsketches—sketches that accurately represented the problem and led to a correct answer. Poorvisualizers drew non-strategic sketches—these were pictorial in style and did not lead to correctsolutions. For example, when asked how many trees could be planted along a driveway that was15 meters long if they were spaced every 5 meters, high visualizers drew a plan view of a linewith an X spaced every 5 meters to arrive at the correct answer. Low visualizers drew a pictureof a tree. In this paper, we report on a study to examine the link between spatial skills and

Students using AR were able to findand place relevant points in construction sites more than 60% faster and with significantly lesscognitive workload compared to when using paper plans [14].

, I highlight an additional ideological commitment that engineers have aparticular affinity for: efficiency. In my anthropological observations of the men and womenworking in semiconductor engineering, I was struck by the hyper-organization and planning thatpermeated engineers’ work and home lives. This is perhaps not surprising. Engineers’ role inmanufacturing is to evaluate and streamline processes, improve workflows, increase productionspeed, and eliminate waste. The Mann Report of 1918 [7] argued forcefully that “many of theburning questions of the time” lay in the field of scientific management and forecasted that itwould become a central goal of the engineering profession to develop expertise in finding timeand labor efficiencies in
