The Engineering EducationResearch (EER) Colloquies (JEE, 2006) specifically called for “research that will helpcharacterize the nature of engineering knowledge (i.e., its technical, social, and ethical aspects)and ways of engineering thinking that are essential for identifying and solving technicalproblems within dynamic and multidisciplinary environments” (p. 260). The ways of engineeringthinking need to be reconsidered to not only meet changing workforce demands, but also toincrease awareness of the social impacts of engineered solutions, to promote diversity andinclusion in the profession, and to solve chronic issues of student

The FE questionsI analyzed in the case studies call for analysis but not detailed design (in the sense of usinganalysis to select parameters or components); they certainly do not call for design “...withinrealistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability.” (outcome (c)).The FE is only partially aligned with outcome (e), and then, only if “engineering problems”means “textbook engineering problems.” Real-world engineering problems are typicallyill-posed, have multiple goals, have multiple solution strategies, and are subject tonon-engineering constraints [23]; FE questions do not bear these features

Design in Engineering Education

].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
