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.

score of 1 on the 1-to-7 scale, the results arestill significant (p < 0.05).The validity of this result is limited by the lack of a control group, which was notrealistically possible because (a) this is a required course in our program, and (b) studentsfrom other engineering majors would likely not serve as a valid control group because ofself-selection bias of our majors. The best control would have been parallel sections ofthe course that omitted DYL, but this was not feasible for reasons of both logistics (ourprogram’s small size would mean that sample sizes were too small to provide reliableresults) and ethics (some students would not have the DYL content that the programperceived to be important to them). Nevertheless, this result is

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

Our chapter plans on rerunning this program with some changes to the skills that will bediscussed. We will also change the scheduling of the event so that it takes place one day perweek for three weeks, as opposed to three consecutive days, in an effort to boost attendance.IntroductionSoft skills are an important aspect of engineering education. The Accredation Board forEngineering and Technology lists several soft, or professional, skills that should be covered inthe engineering curriculum: communication, teamwork, ethical responsibility, and lifelonglearning [1]. While students are expected to have these skills, there is evidence of a
educationthat include the complete process of design, problem and background, plan and implement, testand evaluate, apply science, engineering, and mathematics, engineering thinking, conceptions ofengineers and engineering, engineering tools, issues, solutions, and impacts, ethics, teamwork,and communication related to engineering. Although these are all essential factors for a holisticengineering education, for this study, we focus on one aspect, problem and background, toanalyze how the teacher uses problem scoping engineering talk. Problem scoping and understanding the problem is a major task for engineering designersbecause engineers are “rarely… given a specific, well-defined problem to solve” [8, pp. 12].

They are trust and relationship-building, respect and cultural sensitivity, andpartnership [11]. Student-veterans can assist with this goal as the military instills a set of valuesinto service-members, which is based around a code of ethics. For example, the Army values areleadership, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. These valuesbuild trust and partnerships. Student-veterans show somewhat greater cultural sensitivity,” [1].These values can also help to draw young
