The White House awarded him a Presidential Faculty Fellowship in 1996. In 1994, 1995, 2005 and 2011 Edwards received Outstanding Paper Awards in the Journal of American Waterworks Association and he received the H.P. Eddy Medal in 1990 for best re- search publication by the Water Pollution Control Federation (currently Water Environment Federation). He was later awarded the Walter Huber Research Prize from the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2003, the State of Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award in 2006, a MacArthur Fellowship from 2008 to 2012, the

Some participants in the program were selected for theopportunity to gain additional experience working in a research lab for a few weeks during thesummer. Additionally, the engineering graduate students gain valuable perspectives of howengineering should play a role in addressing social justice issues that plague society.A second outreach initiative, the Exploring Engineering Through Toy Design (EETD) program,has adapted the Toy Design Guides curriculum from the Lemelson-MIT and the Toy ProductDesign class at

In addition, in 2011 Dr. Sheppard was named as co-PI of a national NSF innovation center (Epicenter), and leads an NSF program at Stanford on summer research experiences for high school teachers. Her industry experiences includes engineering positions at Detroit’s ”Big Three:” Ford Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, and Chrysler Corporation. At Stanford she has served a chair of the faculty senate, and recently served as Associate Vice Provost for Graduate Education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 What Makes an Inquisitive Engineer?: An Exploration of Question-Asking Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectations

techniques” [18]. Early proponents noted benefits of human-centereddesign, including increased productivity [19, 20], reduced errors, reduced training and support,improved acceptance, and enhanced reputation [20]. Empathy is an inherent consideration inthis design technique. The first step of Stanford’s human-centered design process is Empathize,during which a designer must observe, interview, and immerse with beneficiaries andstakeholders [21]. The Global design leader IDEO has practiced human-centered design for overforty years, and states that “All you have to do is empathize, understand them [users], and bringthem along with you in the design process” [22].IDEO’s process involves three phases: Inspiration -> Ideation -> Implementation.

The development of thisquestionnaire affords researchers the opportunity to more deeply explore students’ attitudestoward and perceptions of engineering, as well as the relationship among these two phenomena.Introduction and BackgroundA diverse pool of engineering graduates who can apply sociotechnical thinking – consideringboth technical and non-technical factors (social, economic, cultural, political, etc.) [1, 2] – isneeded to solve complex, interdisciplinary problems that have a significant impact on society atboth local and global levels (e.g., climate change, access to clean water, etc.) [3-5
fororganizational alignment, communication, and goal setting. In practice, however, claims ofunfairness can center upon the individuality of the objectives [21]. While one researcher mayhave only one patent application resulting in millions of dollars of product sales towards a goalof three, another may have four worthless applications toward a goal of two. This exampleshows the difficulty in setting and evaluating measurable goals.MBO as applied to scientists, engineers, and technologists can have suboptimizing effects. In aneffort to set measurable objectives some researchers and engineers have opted for measurementaccording to quantity of writing, number of designs sent to production, and square feet ofdrawings completed. These goals, although

The team researched best practices and traveledto a few world-famous “innovation spaces.” The team went to the Bay Area to meet with Page 26.295.6researchers at Stanford’s d.school, venture capitalists on renowned Sand Hill Road, operators ofTech Shop San Francisco, and even toured the underground hackerspace, Noisebridge.

student outcome is multi-faceted: 1) to introduce student participants to thescientific writing aspects of graduate-level research, 2) to provide student participants with atangible outcome of their research, 3) to motivate student participants for research excellence,and 4) to enable sustained mentorship of student participants after the conclusion of the 10-weekprogram. To meet this outcome, a structured approach to technical writing training has beenincorporated into weekly professional development meetings, as presented in Table 2. Thetraining consists of both workshops, in which the program coordinators and faculty mentorsintroduce different sections of a scientific article and describe best practices to technical writing.This training

In practice, young graduate engineers who want to create the future in-stead of staying in a comfortable and predictable world of natural sciences, need to navigateand negotiate their way in complex and constantly changing environments that have both nat-ural sciences based and more human centered challenges. Engineering education research haswidely acknowledged this and it is a common baseline for curricula and teaching methods indesign and in engineering education yet pragmatic solutions tend to be context driven and fo-cused on areas that are measurable quantitatively.
