” were structured to encouragestudents to reflect, respond, and share new ideas. Early topics introduced different designaesthetics and covered broad background, such as the theory of design, a historical approach todesign, or how design paralleled art in the 20th century. Other class sessions explored theaesthetic properties of styles from Romanticism and Gothic Revival to current trends like 8-bitand steampunk. Case studies from art, industrial design, architecture, music, and engineeringincluded successful designs such as the Treepodb, Philips Pavillionc, Piaggio Vespad, BoxAppetite, REMLshelff, Paipei 101g, Soccketh, Zendrumi, Oyster Pailj, London Telephone Boothk,John Deere Tractorl, and the Apple IIm.a Two of the six Flow Vis assignments

and varying models have been developed. For example, Crismond and Adams5present a robust matrix illustrating the design learning trajectories of K-16 students. Their matrixderives from existing literature and explores nine design strategies, from “understanding thechallenge” to “reflecting on the process.” Compared to beginners, informed designers aredescribed as continual learners who work creatively and make decisions based on their skills andknowledge. Similarly, Cross10 compares the behaviors of expert and novice engineeringdesigners. For instance, when solving a problem, expert designers focus on “breadth-first Page 26.1131.3approaches

When team members’ cognitive styles arediverse, creating an effect known as cognitive gap, the team may experience the advantages ofapproaching problems in diverse ways, but the likelihood of conflicts and misunderstandingsincreases6.This study investigated the relationship between cognitive style and the perceptions of studentsworking in teams about their own ideation.

Subsequently, they were given a second problem framed either toencourage practical solutions based on pre-existing designs or framed to encourage radicalsolutions not based on pre-existing designs. Ideas were coded as either paradigm-preserving orparadigm-modifying. We identified students whose ideas shifted from more of one type to moreof another from their first ideation session to their second, as well as students whose ideasremained consistent. We analyzed their generated idea sets and reflection questionnaires todescribe the influence of the framed

In engineering education, this skill is linked to the fulfillment of multiple studentoutcomes, particularly those related to problem solving, design, communication, andprofessionalism18. Feedback provides a means for thinking deeply about someone else’s work,reflecting on one’s own work, and receiving and interpreting criticism. Although an ability toprovide high quality feedback is an important skill in engineering, it is lacking amongengineering professionals19, professors20, researchers17, and students21. There is

A significant feature of this initiative is itsgoal to scale the approach to all engineering programs at the university.  Introduction  Engineering educators are challenged to prepare their students with the knowledge andcompetencies that will support success both in the immediate post-graduation period and also asthe foundation for careers in the rapidly changing global environment in which these will bepursued. It is not sufficient to educate engineers just to be technically competent.

To address this, we have created and implemented anadditional avenue for peer-to-peer anonymized feedback: a qualitative survey utilizing codedcompetencies. The purpose of this research is to evaluate this qualitative instrument in terms ofoverall effectiveness.

The first, a realization for the untappedproblem-solving potential inherent in big, collaborative meetings of passionate people (mostcommonly seen in hackathons). The second, the realization that design thinking can extend muchfarther beyond the traditional product design engineering classroom and into the hands of ourcitizens in order to capacitate them as able problem-solvers in our community.To understand the first realization is to understand the hacker culture that has expanded acrossnations and disciplines. Originally used to describe someone who makes furniture with an axe,this makeshift nature reflected onto the first programming-oriented use of the word

may be more appealing and more readily accepted and adopted by some individualsthan others – as anecdotal evidence collected from design classrooms and design thinkingworkshops seems to indicate. The aim of this study is to determine whether student receptivity todesign thinking might be linked to individual cognitive characteristics that reflect innatestructural preferences. This research could help educators determine the most appropriate designmethodology based on the cognitive preferences of their students, as well as the need to teachcoping strategies when students are required to engage in design activities that do not align withtheir natural cognitive preferences.Our work presents the results of data gathered during a design thinking

design decisions were influenced by varyinginterpretations of the main objective. Both shortening the chassis and moving the center of masstied in well with concepts being taught in class during weeks 2 to 5. It was valuable to see thatstudents were recommending design changes based on core course concepts and that they werealso able to apply these concepts to a real-world design.The recommendation to reduce weight from the original design (1A) was not applied asfrequently as expected to the students’ final designs based on how frequently this suggestion wasmade. Although students appreciated that the weight of the chassis was unnecessary for itsapplication, this did not reflect in their final designs. This may stem from many students

are asked to design posters to advertise the various activity booths (Figure 3). Their job is tochoose an activity booth (Step 1), design a poster for it (Step 2), and “market test” the posterwith a focus group (Step 3). Students then choose either positive (“I like…”) or negativefeedback (“I don’t like…”) (Step 4) from each of three characters (see Figure 3.B). After readingthe feedback (Step 5), students can choose to revise (Step 6) or submit their poster (Step 7).Upon submission, students can see their booth’s “ticket sales” reflecting the quality of theirposter design. There are three rounds of posters to design, thus nine opportunities to choosepositive or negative feedback. The key measure is whether the students choose

For us, the context is engineering education. In its  simplest form, gender reflects the set of characteristics, behaviors, and practices that we think ofas “feminine” or “masculine” – characteristics that any individual biological male or female mayor may not embody.Race, like gender, is not a biological category but a social one.

One of the key early design process steps isthe analysis of customer needs. Through experience it has been observed that students struggleto grasp the importance and nuance of this stage of design. This unfortunately can lead to furtherchurn, rework, and major schedule impacts later in the time-constrained capstone. This struggleis not limited to only the educational domain, but is a challenge for many in the engineeringdesign industry.4Without a clear understanding of what lies ahead for a student, there is a tendency to take eachstep only at face value, without appreciating the integrated fashion in which

For example, one Team 1student added a caveat to their pre-course response about how stakeholders should have aprominent role during design: “Stakeholders should have a large role but they also need to understand the entire design process and know what kind of limitations there are.”The same Team 1 student also changed their pre-course response to Question 4

Given its purpose to support student design interests, this facility perhapsqualifies to be called an academic makerspace but that title may not be appropriate due to aunique attribute of the facility.
