Creative approaches to teaching engineeringethics including argumentation, eye-witness role playing, videos, engineering ethics lunches, andeven an engineering ethics board game have previously been presented 6-10.

In fact mathematical modeling tasks are often thought tobe the best mechanisms by which students can develop confidence with solving ill-structuredproblems[2]. This research will contribute to the body of knowledge around how students usemathematical thinking to solve engineering problems. After independently completing a 3 hourdesign task students were invited to reflect on their beliefs, attitudes and perception ofmathematical and design thinking through a semi-structured interview.

Support for Trevelyan’s thesis is to be found in a review of research onlearning-by-teaching and its implications for engineering education reported by Carberry andOhland [2].
