Studies withpublished pre-posttest results generally show positive learning gains in science content (e.g.,[11], [14]) and practices (e.g., [15], [16]) as a result of implementing these types of curricula.However, studies that provide an in-depth look at students’ engineering design decisions havemixed results with regards to the amount and quality of students’ application of science andmathematics to the engineering challenge (e.g., [17]–[20]). Some research has shown thatstudents have difficultly justifying their design solutions with science and/or mathematics [18],though guided reflection and evaluation about benefits and trade-offs helped them thinkscientifically [17].

To ensure inter-rater agreement, small samples of student responses for both the hairdryer and the car radiator were scored, and those scores were evaluated by a third seniorundergraduate researcher, who identified items where the two raters disagreed consistently.Group discussion was used to facilitate communication about points of disagreement and updatethe scoring rubric accordingly.For the composite scores, Cohen’s Kappa was used to evaluate inter-rater agreement. The hairdryer composite scores had a κ = 0.685 (95% CI, 0.584 to 0.786) and the car radiator had a κ =0.670 (95% CI, 0.582 to 0.773).

Instructors involved in this research had implementedthis activity in the past and received feedback through anonymous student evaluations that thisactivity had created an inclusive environment in the classroom. On the first day of class, studentswere asked to individually reflect on their experience being a student and were asked to write downa list of classroom norms that they think is important to achieve a respectful and encouraginglearning environment throughout the quarter.

Consequently in these settings, only asurface level understanding of their value is realized [2]. Many engineering students do not know how toapproach large complex systems due to their exposure to idealistic examples [3]. Additionally, they notcapable of providing critical multi-disciplinary integration of their designs due to the isolated nature oftopics in the classroom [4] [5].

This book was assigned asreading over the winter break and was the primary topic of discussion at the Spring 2017orientation meeting. The intent was to provide students with perspective when met with newchallenges, and tools to deal with them. Some key takeaways that students received from readingMindset and from the subsequent group discussions:  “Failing is not a reflection of my self-worth, it is merely an opportunity for improvement.”  “After reading this book I spent
