life; thus, making this assignment a highly authentic assessment option due tothe personal nature of the question being asked; hence, there is no boilerplate answer that can befound online. Lastly, when in the lab, Lab Instructors reminded students about ethical and moralconduct when completing peer reviews for each assignment.In support of learning, students were given (a) a full lecture surrounding digital literacy, (b) alecture on the importance of citation when reporting research, (c) online APA references forexploration and review, (d) the option to take a Basic Library Training module for extra creditcompletion, and (e) were asked to conduct APA style and format guideline information researchoutside of class.

, material selection, engineering standards, projectplanning and ethics, as well as the engineering practices of analysis and experimentation (tocollect data for making design decisions). While these objectives span each of the three designprocess steps, the deliverables are only assigned (and retained for assessment purposes) atspecific stages of the design process. The deliverables include physical artifacts of concepts,prototypes, and final designs, as well as oral and written reports. The collected portfolio is arecord of the design process. Figure 5.

He is the first and only individual from his native country and Texas Tech University to have received this prestigious award. Fur- thermore, he was a recipient of the Texas Tech University President’s Excellence in Diversity & Equity award in 2014 and was the only graduate student to have received the award, which was granted based on outstanding activities and projects that contribute to a better understanding of equity and diversity issues within Engineering Education.

characteristics of high quality STEM integration, including providing“opportunities for students to learn from failure and redesign.”18 Many in engineering educationpromote the idea of teaching it through the habits of mind, or how engineers think and do theirwork.19 These include: “systems thinking, collaboration, ethical considerations, creativity,communication and optimism.”20 Failure, although not explicitly named, is best exemplified aspart of the habit of mind of optimism. Resilient responses to design failure include an optimisticmindset that the problem can indeed be solved or that the failure can be overcome. Theseresponses are representative of a growth mindset, in which students learn from failure andbelieve that growth is a natural byproduct
