discovered that he was frustrated by his futile search tofind a speculum that did not cause such discomfort. With the search for quality senior capstonedesign projects always in the back of my mind, I quickly realized that this topic had potential,and we met to formally discuss the possibility of developing a senior project to improve thisdevice.Student Learning OutcomesAs with any senior capstone project, I had to assure that it met the learning objectives of thecourse. At the University of Southern Indiana (USI), we offer a recently accredited BSE degreeand do not have a graduate program. We offer specialties in civil, electrical, industrial,mechatronic and mechanical engineering. ENGR 491, Senior Design, is the capstone designcourse offered

Paper ID #30876Developing a Bridging Language: Design Decisions in Informal MakingExperiencesKathryn Elizabeth Shroyer, University of Washington c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Developing a Bridging Language: Design Decisions in Informal Making Experiences1: IntroductionThe complex nature of design practice makes it both challenging to teach and to learn [1].Historically, engineering programs have had difficulty integrating design in their curricula. As aresult, both the positioning of design coursework within the curricula and the teaching practiceswithin this coursework vary
other capstoneprograms [8].In the 2016-2017 season, selected topics from The 7 Habits were introduced in two JuniorDesign lectures prior to team formation and reinforced by instructor throughout the course.These included proactivity and using the "circle of influence" as a specific tool to promoteadaptability; building trust by making "deposits" in the "Emotional Bank account"; thinkingabout desired outcomes (and requirements) through each step of the capstone program, i.e., to"Begin with the End in Mind"; and the importance of self-management as a prerequisite formanaging others [6]. In 2017-2018, short writing assignments were added to encourage studentsto reflect on the relevance of these concepts to their work as an engineering
project.Although a form of the rubric had been used on capstone design projects, it had not yet beenused on freshman or sophomore projects. Since the new labels for each numbered score had notbeen used previously, raters needed to be mindful that an excellent freshman project may scorelow on the rubric, since the highest standard was how a professional engineer would havedesigned the project. Due to logistical problems, the Documentation competency was notassessed in the fall 2016 semester. After going through the rating process, small adjustmentswere made to the rubric. These changes, such as minor wording corrections and refinements,enabled the rater team to function more efficiently and comfortably in applying the rubric duringspring 2017 semester. The

expectations for engineering graduates to design effective solutions to globalproblems have never been higher3, 4, 5. A wide variety of engineering design methodologies andsupporting tools exist, including TRIZ6, 7, axiomatic design8, mind-mapping7,9, andbrainstorming10, all of which help engineers apply their engineering knowledge to the solution ofcomplex, system-level problems and find the optimal solution to meet multiple requirements11, 12.Recently, engineering design has shifted to a user-centered focus, incorporating principles fromthe field of human-computer interactions13, 14. Within this shift, design thinking has emerged as astrong methodology that encourages user-centered design and the creation of innovativesolutions to complex problems15
Spring 2014 semester is likely due to the move to electronic surveying methods, whichdecreased the student response rate and in the minds of many faculty at our institution, skewedresponses to the negative, based upon the opinion that those students who had a bad experiencewere more likely to take the time to respond.

Students have discovered that discussingthe course with potential employers and even bringing their Stirling Engine to interviews to beparticularly impactful. One instance

of constraints.13When mathematical and scientific analyses are practiced to achieve competency, the emphasis ison finding the right answers. When they are applied to engineering design, the emphasis is onthe many higher order skills embodied in the above definition: generating, evaluating, andspecifying ideas that meet human needs within various constraints. These levels of thinkingreflect the top tiers of Bloom’s Taxonomy (see Figure 2). The design process involves using thephysical laws to guide the generation of design ideas which are then specified as designsolutions, but must be subsequently evaluated, often using those very same physical laws. Atevery step, however, the designer should have in mind the question: How well does the
