practiceIntroductionEngineering work relies on effective collaboration and communication among diverse groups ofengineers and scientists, and engagement in partnership with broader constituencies (managers,technicians, end users, among others). There is a long-standing expectation that graduates fromengineering programs be proficient communicators and team members, and outcomes relevantto communication and teaming survived the recent re-visioning of ABET criterion 3 (Graduateswill have … “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives” and “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences”).

successfully completing the first offering of this course, the two themes of engagement andretention emerged as important things to begin to address. Based on the nature of the course andthe MOOC environment, it is not expected that these two topics will be fully solved, but therewere some things that were changed for the Spring 2018 offering of the course. There are alsoimprovements planned for future offerings as well as marketing directions which may alsoimpact the course development.Since one of the concerns was engagement, especially during the 10-week project, optionaldiscussion boards were added so that students could post what they were working on so thatother students and instructors could give feedback and encouragement.

Inreferring to the ECE program, students characterized their experience in terms of “survival.” Onestudent called himself and his peers “veterans of ECE,” while others described the studentculture as “stressed.” Christopher, a sophomore in CompE, recalled his strategy for coping withthe rigor of ECE: Because it's hard, but trying to avoid burn out the only way to do is to follow the plan of study. What's better to do is learn when you are going to burn out and pick a time when you can afford it. If you can do it before the finals, do it right before the finals, because you don't want to do it the week of the exams, because you want to study at that time

We have selected energy, as it is afoundational topic across multiple engineering disciplines, relevant to students’ lived 2experiences, and has important social ramifications. We are targeting a class in the second yearto provide students with a grounding in CSP early in their engineering education so that theymight use these mindsets moving forward.

Concurrent with the 2016presidential election and during the collection of interview data as a part of this larger study, ashift occurred in the national discourse around diversity. As such, we sought to understand howthis shift in the national discourse did or did not influence engineering students in STEMclassrooms. As a part of acknowledging the changing sociopolitical discourse occuring on anational scale in our own research, we included additional interview questions related to studentsattitudes about recent national events while conducting our planned research on students’attitudes about diversity.

In ourcomparison, the China program provided more cultural intensity, but both programs seem tohave provided research intensity (i.e., opportunities to be challenged and develop). However, thecultural experience may have outshone the research challenges for the China participants, as theycertainly focused more on those topics during their interviews.Both IRES programs have several more years remaining, and we plan to continue collecting datafrom both programs.

This stage should be treated like ideation in design processes; variety and volume are desired. 3.

There have been numerous bookspublished in the last decade on design thinking e.g., [7]–[9], usually in a business context.Engineers apply a design process to engineering problems [10]. Industrial designers apply adesign process to a variety of problem types. Even the United States Army has taken up a designprocess in service to operational planning [11].
