changes from the student perspective.Methods ContextThis research study was situated in a required College of Technology course titled, “DesignThinking.” Students in this course will engaged in critical analysis of real-world problems andglobal challenges. They demonstrated the ability to recognize opportunity and to take initiative indeveloping solutions applying the principles of human-centered design. Students practicedcommunicating and working on teams. Problems and solutions were examined from societal,cultural, and ethical perspectives.The course incorporated a flipped and blended approach which was the result of a faculty courseredesign supported by Purdue University’s Center for Instructional Excellence three years priorto this

see the variables that you haveto use and with that you remember better. Besides, the arrows and the squares adapted in a good way for the mix problems, since you could see them with the tanks and the flows.The problem presented is not an easy task to solve it in class, since it is presented as a case. Thismakes that the different teams rethink their answers and although the problem seems easy, it is notpossible to give a unique answer, and also the students have difficulties to establish a conclusionwithout the help of the software. We assume that incorporating a systemic viewpoint in order tounderstand the complete setting of the problem is helpful. Some matters of social, ethical andsustainable development interest appear within the

The main engineering design theme for Intro to Engineeringcomes from the ideas in the “Design and Systems” section and its definition of technology, theproduct of the

Level 5, Synthesis, now reads "Design asystem or process to meet desired needs within such realistic constraints as economic,environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, constructability, andsustainability.” Creativity/innovation could be encouraged by adding this text “…and forsome apply creative/innovative principles and tools.”Outcome 9 for Level 6, the E level, now states "Evaluate the design of a complex system,component, or process and assess compliance with customary

given anorientation to university-related services, including important university locations as well aslibrary services and citation indexes. Students also participated in weekly technical activities andsessions that provided training and information on a broad range of topic areas related toconducting and engaging in research. Examples include a session on ethics in scientific research,training on effective oral and written communication and presentation of research and scientificfindings, and a panel discussion focused on careers in research 12. Students were also providedwith the opportunities to tour various laboratories and research centers at Penn State (e.g.,Materials Characterization Laboratory; Microscopy and Cytometry Facility
