posits that contemplation in an elementary andmiddle school setting can improve children’s social and emotional skills [2]. At the undergraduatelevel, Bernadez et al. have found software engineering students to be slightly more efficient indeveloping conceptual models after four weeks of mindfulness training [3]. Rieken et al. havefound positive correlations between mindfulness and innovation self-efficacy in undergraduateengineering students [4]. In the business world, Goleman shows that mindfulness results in“stronger focus, staying calmer under stress, better memory, and good corporate citizenship [5].”And in the military, mindfulness has attracted attention as a way to “to heal trauma-stressedveterans, make command decisions and help
sources [22], andtailored specifically to the needs of engineering undergraduate students undergoing formalresearch training. The combination of techniques was chosen on the understanding from theliterature that in order to be creative, students must be willing to risk trying something new andbe willing to make mistakes.[48] Theatre exercises enable students to open their minds, questionassumptions, and see things differently; moreover, they help lower the stakes for students whomay be uncomfortable with a process that may be completely foreign to them. These activitieshave been shown to improve students’ abilities to think creatively in a typical classroomenvironment [22, 49].In the summer of 2018, our group sought to implement similar, evidence

indicated, the program included a rigorous daily evaluation of (a) the overall effectivenessof the in-class lectures and related training, as well as (b) the overall relevance of the coveredtopics, hands-on workshops, and team exercises - both toward empowering students to address thewater engineering challenges at hand (Figure 3b). Most offered lectures appear to have beenperceived as effective in students’ minds, and that should not come as a surprise given the fact thelecturers were instructed to highlight the connections between the presented background materialand the following hands-on exercises. Students have assessed ~20% of the workshops theyattended as highly relevant to the open-ended water engineering design challenges. Interestingly

On the other hand, directinteractions with users can help engineering students refine their understanding of their designproblem and keep user requirements in mind when generating solution concepts [7], [22], [23].In general, these previous studies have focused primarily on the outcomes of student designerinteractions with users. Few studies thus far have explored in depth how student designersperceive the role of user interactions in their design projects and how students’ perceptions mayin turn influence their approaches to these interactions.

Around 30% of responses noted the sense of community among users,which includes helping and teaching one another, providing support for items #10 and #11. Thetheme of innovation appeared in about 10% of responses, providing support for item #1. Twoother themes appeared in the data, which dealt with creativity (16% of responses) andextracurricular learning (17% of responses). One user response was very approving of theuniversity’s efforts thus far: “A convenient place to find like-minded engineers. It feels like home. Make almost anything free of cost. Lots of resources to learn, make, discover, and innovate. I
