].ABET mandates that students have a “major design experience” [1] as part of the universityengineering curriculum. This experience usually consists of a capstone design course (orcourses). These courses are often used to assess the achievement of student outcomes, and anumber of methodologies and rubrics have been developed for this purpose [19-24]. Within thecontext of design skill assessment, specific traits have been studied, including professionalism[25], ethics [26], teamwork [27] and life-long learning [28].Despite the amount of work devoted to assessing design at certain points of student development,typically in introductory and capstone design courses, relatively little exists to measure thechange (and hopefully improvement) of design

culture of engineering to be more inclusive of diverse individuals and more in alignment with current research on decision-making. With a focus on qualitative research methods, she is working to better understand the ways in which undergraduate engineering students experience design and ill-structured problem solving. Her interests also include neuroscience, growth mindset, engineering ethics, and race and gender in engineering. In general, Dr. Dringenberg is always excited to learn new things and work with motivated individuals from diverse backgrounds to improve engineering education.Prof. Annie Abell, Ohio State University Annie Abell is an Assistant Professor of Practice at The Ohio State University in the Department

risks, uncertainties, and implications of their solutionsThese ideas are not new to the ABET criterion; they were housed in Criterion 3, Outcome (c) [2].Fortunately, they were given positions that are more prominent and established as overarchinggoals. In this way ABET is formally making a push to include sustainability into all engineeringcurricula. They further this point by the inclusion of the revised Criterion 3, Outcome 5, whichstates [1]: An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contextsThere are multiple valid definitions of

These were: 1) How much time theyexpected the students to spend on design activities, 2) Where do students might facedifficulties within the design process and 3) The change between the student entry and exitself-efficacy questionnaires.The third section of the interview consisted of reviewing the instructor’s estimations and thedata collected by DEFT on each of the three aspects of the student experiences, anddeveloping modifications for the class in the subsequent year.

of individuals.Understanding these value similarities and dissimilarities may help to identify and inform betterdesign practices in industry or engineering preparation. For example, a further investigation mayilluminate that idealistic design methods may not be retained by students as they move into theworkplace and become practicing engineers. Alternatively, it may be possible that classroomenvironments need additional support to authentically mimic the engineering workplace andmore closely align with industry perceptions and expectations. It is also possible that theinstructors’ evaluations may have been influenced by factors beyond the artifact such as theteam’s work ethic and other insights the instructors may be privy to about the team

conversations about equity anddiversity in the classroom. The engineering curriculum is not neutral, and knowledge is producedwithin a power-driven social and cultural system [3, 4]. ABET student outcomes are not entirelytechnical and include that students must have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility, the broad education necessary to understand engineering impacts in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED

, design facultyand design practitioners argue that further improvements are necessary. One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an engineering problembut, rather, an optimal or acceptable solution leading to a final design, presented as the bestpossible balance between technical as well as non-technical constraints. These non-technicalconstraints, typically involve: economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byenlarge, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the

have identified thatdesirable attributes of an engineer include good communication skills, high ethical standards, theability and self-confidence to adapt to rapid or major change, the ability to work ininterdisciplinary teams and a profound understanding of the importance of teamwork [4]. In theRIOT team surveys, "Political Skill" (described in the next section) measures these competenciesin the individual differences surveys.We hypothesized that explicitly addressing these "soft topics" before the capstone teams wereformed would increase student awareness of their importance and provide specific tools to helpwith self-management and team cohesion.
