For oneproblem, the group utilized the IdeaKeg tool, for the other problem they worked using atraditional brainstorming process.Introduction:Engineering and creativity have always had a love-hate relationship. On the one hand, we ownan overarching social contract, to create products, services, and infrastructure which are safe anduseful for a public who must trust us. We draw on first principles and best practices wheneverwe can. We critique each other's work rigorously toward that end. And each team of engineerstends to build upon their own experience, repeating successful design

, 2016) states “understand the basic principles of sustainableconstruction” as one of the 20 Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for accredited Bachelor ofDegree programs in construction. Therefore, a paradigm shift is necessary to educate students torecognize sustainability as a changing constraint in construction.As construction industry demands for graduates with broader understanding of impact ofconstruction projects on environment and overall quality of life, universities have tried to come upwith innovative ways to teach students with knowledge of sustainability concepts. However, dueto already full construction management curriculum it has been a challenge to equip students withvarious sustainable solutions. One of the solutions to this

Thiswork was led by a team member from our Center for Equity and Inclusion at UWT.

This involves justifyingtradeoffs and prioritizing different aspects, a hallmark of argumentation. In addition, engineeringresearch requires significant evidence-based argumentation for new designs to be accepted andfor the adoption of innovative practices. As such, argumentation is deeply embedded into theinformal and formal practices of professional engineers.The Role of Arguments and Argumentation in Engineering EducationArgumentation theory has been used in science and mathematics education research over the pastfew decades but has been largely

this research was to explore the use of student internships as a means of benchmark-ing best practices in the construction industry while providing synergistic benefits for all stake-holders involved in the process. The objective was to design a model internship program involv-ing faculty, students, and participating companies that could actively introduce students to sys-tematic methods of inquiry and industry best practices while increasing their resourcefulness andvalue to companies during their industry experience. The model should also provide a platformfor engaging faculty by providing a means of gathering difficult-to-obtain data from industry thatcould be used for research purposes, and it should return that data in aggregated form to
and facultyperspectives from the 2007-08 course projects. These surveys were designed to establish abaseline for the project and used selected questions from the UW-Madison campus’ NationalSurvey of Student Engagement, Academic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey(APPLES), and Educational Benchmarking, Inc (EBI). While these assessment data have notbeen significant in determining impact on the desired outcomes, it has identified those courses, inand outside of the initiative that are contributing to the goals of the EB2. For example, surveyresults indicate that students found a number of courses outside of specific EB2 funded projectsalso contributed to their development of the EB2 specific project course goals.At regular intervals
andexploring topics, and electronic document sharing, to name a few. The devices that can beutilized for education also are shifting. Students and instructors have access to information andinstruction not only from a desktop or laptop computer, but also digital tablets, smart phones, anddedicated readers. However, the form of delivery is not as important as the design of theinstruction. Technology does not automatically improve instruction unless the instructiondelivered through the technology is designed to be better. A number of studies havedemonstrated that the technology alone does not improve students’ learning and has nosignificant impact on student achievement. Researchers insist that these studies are asking thewrong question8. They state

This closely aligns to theimportance of engineering being human-centered and the four threads of the e4usa curriculum.Figure 1.Logic ModelThe research aims to address the following questions: 1. How were teachers impacted as they observed and supported student teams using the engineering design process to design a solution for a SWD serving as a stakeholder? 2.

. With opportunities to practiceat imagining how others experience the world, we can develop an ability to reason and makedecisions with substantive moral insight. That is, exercising and practicing with one’s moralimagination is vital to complex reasoning, since doing so places other forms of reasoning, suchas quantitative and applied problem-solving, in a specific relational context. Engineers need tosolve problems with robust insight into what it is people suffer, and what it means for them toknow that engineers consider their pain and suffering when engaging in design and othertechnical tasks. In 2019, we started developing teaching modules centered around moral imagination to cultivate sensitivity within reasoning and
