During their first one-week Summer Academy, teachers were exposed to engineering content by engaging in andreflecting on various engineering lessons. These lessons included developing working definitionsof technology and engineering, an introduction to an engineering design process (EDP

Based on existing research, we expect threekey factors to influence ideation flexibility: 1) problem framing (the way a problem and itsconstraints are “set”); 2) the use of ideation tools; and 3) ideation teaming (interactions withothers during ideation). Our research investigates the impacts of these key factors on engineeringideation flexibility and correlates them with students’ cognitive styles. Our aim is to createguidelines and methods that will help engineers increase that flexibility by learning how todeliberately engage in ideation using different approaches. The project uses experimental studieswith pre-engineering and engineering students, at various stages in their educational programs,testing each factor’s impact on
