concepts.In this paper, we report the outcomes of a Design Heuristic implementation study in anintroductory engineering course. In one section, students were instructed on the use of DesignHeuristics as a means of generating new ideas for an unfamiliar design task. In a different secondsection, students were asked to use Design Heuristics as concept modifiers with their existingideas for a class project. Our goal was to observe the ways students used Design Heuristics inthese two different scenarios. In this paper, we present five case studies from each scenario,showing ideation outcomes as a result of working with the heuristics, and discuss successes andobstacles involved in the implementation of Design Heuristics in the engineering classroom.

According to the U.S.Department of Commerce (Langdon, McKittrick, Beede, Knah, & Doms, 2011)1 over the past 10years, STEM jobs grew three times faster then non-STEM jobs. Between 2008 and 2018, STEM jobsare projected to grow by 17 percent compared to 9.8 percent growth for non-STEM jobs. Theconcern for the U.S. is being able to supply a well-educated technical workforce.Education provides individuals with the 21st Century knowledge, skills and competencies that areneeded to fully participate in the New Economy.

This paper will explore variousaspects of complexity in technology, particularly in engineering design and analysis, and suggestsome ways that engineering education may need to be adjusted to address these needs, with aspecial focus on the complexities addressed by the interdisciplinary field of complexity theory.Complexity in TechnologyFor some, it may be intuitively obvious that technology is increasing in complexity, based on theincreasing scale and scope of our technological projects. However, our perception of the extentto which this is occurring is likely influenced by our own interpretation of the term
