Understanding our students as citizen scientists andengineers is a powerful reframing for educators and our future graduates who we hope to bediverse, active, and engaged citizens solving problems of critical importance. 3This paper looks at the role extracurricular activities conducted in the midst of the nationalmakerspace movement has on design thinking in engineering education.

A “maker” identity has beenassociated with specific attitudes and abilities, such as creativity, the ability to createphysical models, and the embracing of failure, which engineering educators are nowstriving to foster in their students and throughout curricula.1-3 Over the past ten years,makerspaces, or innovation spaces, have been developed

Students were assigned to some 200 teams (3 – 5 students each) and dividedinto 16 tutorials, supervised by 87 teaching assistants (12 graduate, 75 undergraduate) and 7faculty consultants. Students were guided in structured tutorials, group discussions, andcomputer-mediated interactions. To ensure students made steady progress, there were threedeliverables: a preliminary report describing background research, ethical considerations, anddesign alternatives; a final report that included the team’s proposed technical design, costanalysis, feasibility, and impact on the community

essential skills for becoming an impactful, well-rounded engineer [14], educators arejust beginning to experiment with and share their techniques and frameworks for better educatingstudents in this skill to help fill the gap.Empathy is very much a learnable skill, so the lack of educational frameworks may be due morein part to the newness of the concept, rather than the difficulty in teaching it. In fact, teachingempathy has been a key aspect of educating social workers for many years [15].When specifically looking to implement empathy-building exercises into design and engineeringeducation, Reimer recommends a variety of techniques, including implementing elements ofself- and context-awareness, decision-making and action planning, research and

Additionally, the studies provide support that this approach to helping studentssystematically approach idea generation is successful with students from introductory coursesthrough capstone course and graduate design courses [17, 39-40].
