The lowenrollment and retention of students in these disciplines raises concerns about the impact of thecurriculum and teaching methods being practiced in these courses. Some of the recent efforts toattract a larger student pool to these disciplines are (a) creating an awareness of the impact ofmaterials science and manufacturing in our lives, to kindergarten through K-12 students (b)inviting students to attend Open Houses where the prospective students learn more about thesecourses, the student’s involvement in the research

Henry expressed yet another aspect ofdeveloped interest. “When they say it for the first time on the board it’s like, you don’t reallyunderstand but you have to go home and practice it and do the homework before you really learnit”. Henry expresses internal motivation to learn the material. A well-developed interest causesstudents to self-regulate their learning 31, which Henry expresses in the quote above.Scott also expressed a characteristic of a developed interest.

At Cal StateLA, where more than 65% are from underrepresented groups and the vast majority is first-generation college students, the retention and graduation rates are lower than the nationalaverage. For many years, faculty and staff at the College of Engineering, Computer Science, andTechnology (ECST), Cal State LA, have implemented a number of evidence-based practices inthe summer and first-year to help students transition into college and succeed in their engineeringprogram.

precise calculations  Conducting experiments – incorporating empirical data into design decisionsOne of the best ways to stimulate this kind of system design thinking is to present students withcomplex problems that require them to address each of these areas as the part of a single project.In engineering education, these kinds of design problems are often presented to teams ofstudents, creating an environment in which questions are raised by others and there is a necessityto argue the advantages and disadvantages of alternative responses. These interactions not onlyaddress ABET criteria and increase communication skills, but also increase the likelihood of asuccessful design outcome, given a diverse team of students [1].For problem-based

Students increasingly need to becomecognizant of how decisions are irrationally impacted by human cognition, and how suchdecisions can be improved to foster more sustainable outcomes to engineers and designers, theirclients, and society at large. The Presidential Task Force of the American Psychological Association has asserted theimportance of psychology as a STEM discipline and an “effective interdisciplinary bridge” (APA2010). The time has come for this bridge to be crossed to help address the psychology ofcomplex decisions, which engineers face regarding sustainability.
