He was excitedthat students were able to apply their content knowledge of macromolecules to design anappropriate snack. He liked that students were motivated by an authentic audience- the guestchef. Finally, he noted that student choice was an important part of this project. The event didhave design constraints, but the students were allowed to investigate and choose their own recipewithin the constraints which contributed to student engagement and student learning.Student Reflection - Effective group work During the unit, students were asked to self reflect and report in

appreciation ofthe societal relevance of this parameter. Student reflections reveal that the exercise deepenedtheir understanding of the nontechnical issues both in the design and in life in general.IntroductionEfficiency is a broad topic, which students analyze throughout an undergraduate engineeringeducation. In the context of engineering, more efficient is always better, and many students willenter the workforce to play a role in designing a more efficient device or process. How does amore efficient machine affect humankind, specifically the thermal efficiency of a vapor powercycle? One would hope that students of any discipline would be able to articulate how reducingthe combustion of fossil fuels would impact society, yet with the current design

Thus, in this study, we pay particular attention to language as a lens to explore thephenomenon of empathy in the social world of engineering students.

PBL allows students to engage in complex, ill-formed,and open-ended problems which fosters flexible thinking and supports intrinsic motivation.16These characteristics can be further encouraged by group discussion of potential solutions,critical instructor feedback, and essential self-reflection during and following the learning event.A.

According to philosopherPeter Facione, critical thinking is defined as the intellectually disciplined process of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating informationgathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, orcommunication, as a guide to belief and action [4].

qualitative research approach was used for this study, and information was gathered fromparticipants through a semi-structured interview format21. This approach provided guidance tothe participants as they reflected on the entirety of their design project while allowing them thefreedom to express their unique experiences and thoughts. Interview questions were designed tospecifically follow the stages of the design process8 and, at times, to target detailed descriptionsof the use of prototypes. These questions helped to elicit information about how the use ofprototypes impacted the design process and how students learned from prototypes.Interview question were developed iteratively.
