I believe that a more diverse engineering field will generate a better overall world for us and generations to come, because the "capitalist-white-man-white-collar" stereotype that surrounds the engineering field will lead to an undesirable, narrow- minded future.

Using a case study approach to theory building wecollected artifacts from a pre-service teachers in a second level Engineering Design Thinkingcourse. The students produced artifacts in the form of conceptual models, graphical models,mathematical models and finally working models. Student-generated mind maps, designjournals, final design products and their accompanying documentation, and peer checkingprocedures were also collected and triangulated with the modeling artifacts for the purpose ofthis study. The result was a working framework that helps eliminate

, engineering design methodologies encourageconsideration of a variety of alternative arrangements for subfunctions as well as the particularcomponents employed to achieve functional requirements. This type of work requires anunderstanding of the relation between abstract function and physical structure as well as thecorrespondence between the total system and individual elements. The existence of multipleconcepts for a particular design solution implies that the engineering designer has an abstract orgeneral function in mind which is projected into specific implementations. It can be seen thatabstract thought characterizes this process from understanding the problem through developmentof a particular solution.Similar Thinking but Differing in
