Withhelp from the best faculty coaches, and guidance from published literature on team dynamics and“coaching for success,” a “how-to” guide was developed as a resource for faculty projectcoaches. This guide includes elements such as an overview of the IPPD program, roles andresponsibilities for various stakeholders, a collection of best practices for mentoring and conflictmanagement, and a frequently-asked-questions section. Since the IPPD program ismultidisciplinary, an appendix with a set of expectations for each participating undergraduatediscipline was developed.The IPPD Coach Guide is intended to be a framework for capturing and sharing with thecapstone design community a set of best practices for team

ABET also emphasizes the importance of trainingundergraduate engineering students to develop design skills [2]. In a design process, ideageneration and development are important steps that contribute to the innovative designoutcomes [3]. However, research indicates challenges for students in generating creativeconcepts for open-ended design problems [4]. Successful implementations of creative ideas can lead to innovation.

Integrated ethics content canencourage students to practice “what is right to do and how will my decisions impact thesociotechnical and societal norms within society?” The process of seeking answers for thesequestions can help students to recognize the ethical and moral conflicts as a part of designproblems. In a complex design process, there are often conflicts, and these potential conflictsshould be considered simultaneously by design engineers [7].Researchers conceptualize the design process and propose moral reflections with distinctapproaches that are informed by empirical research in socio-technical contexts [6].

Prior research on student understanding and use ofstakeholder interaction during the design process has found that students do not always interactwith stakeholders successfully (as outlined in the design practice literature).19–21 Some of thedifficulties student encounter when attempting to interact with stakeholders causes them toneglect or dismiss stakeholder interaction during design.20,22 Thus, more research is needed todevelop pedagogy for teaching these complex processes.This study sought
