interviews with some of these earlycareer engineers as they participate in and reflect upon product design, process testing, datapresentation, and workflow planning. Our objective is to show how engineers conceptualize theusers of their products and take them into account during the design process. Our analysisfollows these engineers as they produce documents, drawings and presentations and highlightsthe role of more senior engineers who provide feedback and corrections to help the newengineers understand who the user of the product will be, what the user expects from the product,and how the company would like the user to behave.FindingsWe found that engineers anticipate the user of the products and systems they design and thatlearning about the

. Expectancy-value theory (EVT)suggests that achievement-related decisions reflect individuals’ expectations of success orcompetence beliefs related to a particular task, and the subjective task value they associate with agiven option17, 18, 19. These beliefs and values are shaped by individuals’ personal identities, pastexperiences, the social context in which they are embedded, and their interactions with a givenset of cultural norms18, 19. Eccles and colleagues identify four types of subjective task value:  Interest-enjoyment value: the extent to which an individual anticipates enjoying an activity. This type of value is likely to be integrated into an individuals’ self-concept.  Attainment-achievement value: how a choice aligns with

Inrecent years, the focus of engineering ethics has expanded, encompassing the responsibilities ofprofessional and social organizations, “macro-ethics.”8,9 This shift has raised and

This duality of basic computation manifests itself in other higher level processes aswe discuss it later.Another cause may be the control and use of electronic devices by biological computingagents. Our use of an electronic device can certainly reflect the way we use our ownbiological computing device (i.e., our mind). Their utilization, however, depends on how weuse them. So far, we have used electronic devices in various ways, including programming(text-based and visual), office work, communication, visual arts, video games, virtual reality,modeling and simulations. These range from easy tasks (e.g., automation of repetitive andvoluminous work) to complex tasks (e.g., solving systems of differential equations for whichthere is no

[8], found aneed to focus on teamwork and leadership coaching after observing a lack of effective teamworkamong interdisciplinary teams. They adopted an approach similar to that discussed here withseveral capstone lectures devoted to teamwork and related topics. They also providedspecialized training to interdisciplinary teams. However, an important difference from ourapproach is that their capstone instructors developed and provided the training. The authorsreported that 70% of students surveyed felt that the material was valuable and only 6% said thatit had no value to them.

for students,makerspaces encourage experiential and situated learning experiences through communities ofpractice. Experiential learning is not merely a technique that can be utilized to provide studentswith an experience from which they can learn, but a philosophy of education (Dewey, 1986; A.Y. Kolb & Kolb, 2005). This experiential learning philosophy is characterized by several tenets:learning is (1) a process not an outcome, (2) relearning, (3) resolving conflicts, (4) holisticallyadapting to the world, (5) interacting with the environments, and (6) creating knowledge (Kolb1984). This perspective is built on the notion that knowledge is created from reflecting upon atransformative experience, exemplified through the processes of the

Theobserved decrease in progression may reflect the increase in class size.Then, we looked at the effects of grades on students’ progression. Firstly, we tested thestatistical significances of the differences in the grade distributions of progressed andnon-progressed students using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The corresponding p-valuesare shown in Table 1. We found that the two distributions are statistically significantlydifferent except for MECH in Fall 2016 and CBE in Fall 2014.

Higher order thinking can be definedas a complex mode of thinking often resulting in multiple solutions. According toResnick,“higher order thinking involves uncertainty, application of multiple criteria, reflection,and self-regulation (Resnick, 1987).” In broader terms, higher order thinking can be classifiedusing Bloom’s taxonomy, overlapping with levels above comprehension (Bloom, 1956). Whilesimple recall of information is an example of lower order cognitive thinking skills, higher orderthinking skills involve analysis, evaluation, and synthesis (Zohar, 2003).

Additionally, students documented andcommunicated their experiences through a written final report and presentation. Bothrequirements allow students to reflect on the project, making activity, and better understandwhere there was room for improvement. Unsurprisingly, the largest point of reflection is toavoid procrastination.In the surveys, students reported exploring more than one engineering discipline during theproject with exposure to Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical being the most common majorsreported.

The second phase was morequalitative, so we followed the eight “Big-Tent” criteria for excellent qualitative research37.For instance, to meet the “credibility” criteria, we extensively used the “member reflections”approach by sharing the interview transcripts and our results with the participants of ourstudy. The use of RTR, especially, allowed us to enhance the opportunities and the quality ofthe “member reflections” as our participants were highly engaged in reviewing and revisingthe transcripts and providing feedback on the analysis.
