]. Ultimately, designthinking exercises thinking skills and overall literacy, both during and after achieving learningoutcomes [12].5. CONCLUSIONSThis study first aims to classify engineering design thinking in curriculum design, analyse thecharacteristics and connotations of different introduction approaches, and establish a basicframework and methodology for the study of design thinking in the field of higher engineeringeducation. Finally, the study concludes with a detailed analysis of keywords and key coursetypes in design thinking in higher engineering education, laying the foundation for futureresearch. The backbone of existing research is reflected in the case studies, individualisedcurriculum design, the connotative purpose of the curriculum

,sequential, mixed methods approach (N = 163) was used to assess the importance of industrymentor and teammate support using quantitative data analysis techniques followed by thematic(qualitative) analysis to explain those results.Likert-type items were analyzed using exploratory factor analyses and resulted in six constructs.Two constructs reflected student perceptions of their learning: engineering design and decision-making skills and adaptability skills. Two forms of support emerged from the factor analysis:industry mentor support and teammate support, and two control variables also emerged: designself-efficacy and preparedness. Support and control variables were then used as dependentvariables in regression models for the two learning outcomes

Design, Design Thinking, and Systems Thinking; and "Computer-AidedEngineering", an elective course for juniors and seniors.In general, it is not unexpected that both design frameworks have a comparable approach andpossess features typically present in all design processes. Some of these similarities are:● Both are iterative, adaptive, and collaborative processes that help solve ill-defined and open-ended problems that are not amenable to being routinized or solved algorithmically (aka “puzzles”). The iterative and nonlinear nature of both design methodologies is reflected in the existent feedback loops. This iterative nature can also be viewed as coevolution of the problem space with the solution space. That is, as designers search for

prior work done in measuring spatialvisualization skills, our work involves contributions concerning international engineeringeducation.We are embarking on this project to develop a test from scratch rather than using existingassessment tools. Before making our own, we want to learn from previous projects what doesand does not work in existing assessment tools with a critical lens. Often, the tests currently usedin literature and the subsequent course or curriculum appear to result in score gains of studentsafter the intervention [3]. We are questioning whether this could be a result of the test notaccurately capturing the spatial visualization skills initially, whether this reflects ceiling/flooreffect in statistical data analyses, or if gains

Meanwhile, professional participants often reflected on ways theynarrowed down their target context and target users and acknowledged settings in which theirsolutions should not be implemented. For example, one participant described: “There's such a vast diversity of context that patients receive care…it is an extremely complex and varying group…I mean there are lots of cases where [this product] either can't or shouldn't be used.”- Professional participant C4.2.2 Characterization of LMIC contexts Experienced designers acknowledged more nuance and differences across differentLMICs and within them than students.

majors [3]. This reflects an influence of self-efficacy on career choice. Self-efficacycan influence students at the beginning of their studies in selecting their major and at thecompletion of their studies by increasing their perceived career options [6]. Finally, self-efficacyis also associated with better mental health in students, specifically seen in reduced anxietylevels in students with higher self-efficacy [7].Clearly, the beneficial practices and traits associated with self-efficacy indicate it as a desiredcharacteristic in students. However, self-efficacy is not simply a static personal attribute thatshould be selected for in admissions processes. It is, rather, a dynamic quality, the cultivation ofwhich should be a central aim of

Strategies and training elements implemented to successfully address thesechallenges were made possible through close collaboration between the evaluation team andproject leadership who were highly responsive to

This includes four EGR 101 (first-year design) teams,one independent study design team (four undergraduate students), and one research project(undergraduates, graduate students, and two faculty).

theirdesigns during the judgment-free "Concept Generation Phase." In the next phase of the game,"Concept Selection and Debate," they must argue with their teammates to select the best designto submit for their fictional group project. The twist of the game is that the initial bias of students–which design they would like the team to submit– as well as their personality –the method thatthey use to argue– are both determined by randomly dealt cards. This causes the students to stepoutside of their comfort zone and internally reflect on how they argue their opinions normallyversus how others might make a similar argument. In the "Grading" phase of the game, the teamreceives a score based on if they were able to receive a majority or total consensus. The

This can reduce issues that are being caused bynot having enough foresight of the engineering development process ahead of implementation.Future WorkAllowing students to experience and master situations that reflect real life is the core goal ofauthentic learning. According to some academics, emerging technologies are particularly adeptat supporting inquiry-based learning environments by developing "genuine" science learningenvironments and, perhaps more significantly, by involving students in scientific inquiry [34].The capacity of augmented reality (AR) technology to engage students and create a setting forgenuine
