education over the past several years.Active learning methods have proven to be an effective way to increase engineering self-efficacy (Carini RM,2006), academic performance(Freeman,2014), feelings of responsibility to complete futuretasks(Daniel,2016), and recently retention in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)(Elgin,2016).Even authors in the cognitive science discipline suggest that classrooms with an active learning approachcan increase student motivation, knowledge retention, and content transferability (Michael, 2006; Norman andSchmidt, 1992; Vosniadou, Loannides, Dimitrakopoulous, & Papademetriou, 2001). The core elements of activelearning are student‟s activity and engagement in the learning

NSEE emphasizes the equal importance of both the experience and thelearning and the shared responsibility between the learner and the facilitator(s). However, it isexpected that the facilitator(s) are responsible for ensuring quality in both the learningexperience and the work that is produced [6].Clark’s [7] Guided Experiential Learning (GEL) is a course development process model thatprovides specific design guidance for the development of learning experiences that “guide thecognitive (mental) processing that supports

in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Design Thinking Process.The first step in our design thinking process is empathetic understanding and ethicalconsideration of the human problem being undertaken. Empathy is the process whereby thedesigner understands the needs, experiences, and motivations of the person(s) they are designingfor (end users) and the stakeholders. Both emotional and cognitive empathy play a role in thisstep. Empathy can be achieved by various actions and activities. This includes observation,immersion, direct interaction with the end- users and stakeholders, reading, and storytelling [38]- [42]. Through this the designer develops a deeper understanding of the people and issuesinvolved. Ethical

formalized as part of communitybenefit packages agreed to by advocates of proposed telescopes and representatives from thelocal community [1]. Opposition to the observatories has existed since the 1960’s when thegovernor and legislature, enthusiastic about development, set aside land for construction.Protests, demonstrations and litigation challenging previous and proposed construction of newtelescopes in Hawai‘i have focused on environmental protection and the sites selected as beingsacred to natives. For example, controversy over choosing Maunakea for the site location of anew Thirty Meter Telescope emphasizes that this is considered the most sacred mountain of theNative Hawai‘ian religion and culture. Yet a local workforce is also highly desired
