(engineering/math model).Engineers work with each of these models as they develop their understanding of a concept orsolve a particular problem. Reality is the way the world actually works; in general, reality tendsto be complex. The engineer works to shape reality, and therefore, must be a student of reality,learning how the world works through thoughtful observation. As engineers consider reality,they build mental models of how the world works. The mental model is qualitative and oftenintuitive. The mental model is the single greatest asset an engineer has; in the qualitative andintuitive world of the mind creativity flourishes. An engineer who wishes to communicate orrefine a mental model will draw sketches or diagrams. The mental model should lead

adding extreme constraints often prompts Convergent X creative solutions as it forces your mind to focus on the core of the problem. One example is Ernest Hemingway’s challenge to write a complete story in six words. In that vein, summarize everything that you have learned in your engineering courses in six words (not six words per course; six words total!) 2 Choose a person who inspires you and ask them two questions: (1) Divergent What inspires you? And (2) How do you use that inspiration to fuel your own creativity. Write a summary of their answers in a 1-page memorandum. 3 Making remote associations between words or concepts can help

Action Research [36], whereresearchers work with community to address community goals, empowering communitymembers, and promoting social justice and equity. However, engineers feel there is sometimes a“disconnect between engineers and the public” where “engineers don’t listen” [37 p. 15]. Thisrepresents motivation for improved education of engineers.Listening has been classified into a variety of types, such as active, accurate, contextual, critical,empathetic, and mindful [4, 13, 38]. Mindful listening has been encouraged for project managers[13] and healthcare professionals [39], focusing on being fully present, an awareness of bothoneself and others, engaging with the speaker, avoiding judgement of the speaker, and carefullyobserving and

authors found that thecitizen scientists’ perceptions toward engineering as a process were greatly influenced by theirparticipation in the project. However, their perceptions of engineers as persons did not change.Interestingly, the citizen scientists volunteered their own “funds of knowledge” aboutengineering skillsets and “habits of mind” but did not connect their personal traits and skills toengineering or engineers. Since the rainwater harvesting project of the citizen scientists wassimilar to the open-ended, project-based learning experiences of many engineering students, weposit that student perceptions of the engineering process are strongly influenced by project-basedlearning, but the impact on their engineering identity is limited.

most: it is students’ long-term success. As Hopkins et al state, “success in some disciplines [engineering among them]depends on students possessing a cumulative body of knowledge and is thwarted by poorretention of foundational content.”1This cumulative body of knowledge is often described as knowledge structure and there is aproblem: the connections within many students’ mental knowledge structure are weak and,therefore, the structure itself is ineffective. As a structural engineer, the author became concernedwith the integrity of the structures being built in his students’ minds and realized a new designphilosophy was necessary for the courses he taught.The way students organize, or structure, what they learn is critically important.
