Cultural values underlying problem-solving and creativityShifting lenses to the specific educational goal of fostering creative design capability, there is arise of creativity research in engineering design education, as reflected in growing research incurriculum design (Zhou, 2012), creativity-facilitating intervention (Hawthorne, et al., 2014) andcreative behavior and cognition (Toh & Miller, 2014). However, we lack a deep understandingabout different, and possibly conflicting, cultural beliefs and practices around creative problemsolving amongst students

The wings of Cicadas shed dirt andwater while inducing a self-cleaning effect to prevent contamination, erosion, and bacterialaccumulation. The biological structure of these wings also creates an anti-reflective coating.Wings contain thousands of hexagonal sections across the surface. These sections have nipple-like protrusions that hold air pockets between them to prevent the build-up/accumulation ofbacteria, residue, and matter.9 Figure9CicadaChallengesandStrategiesdiagram

The necessary deductive-style teaching of accepted engineering design steps Designettes in Capstone: Characterizing the Impact of Early Design Experiences in Capstone Education with Emphasis on Designette Project Choiceshould be balanced with the inductive learning of the students. The challenge lies in allowingthe experiences of the students’ inductive learning to occur with enough time to reflect and buildtheir cognitive framework.Finally, a look at the Kolb cycle (Figure 1) and its application to the design curriculum andcapstone program could be informative.

Students who believethey can learn (personal efficacy) and perceive their efforts to learn will result in desiredoutcomes (outcome expectancy) [18], [19] are more likely to report the use of self-regulatorystrategies associated with task orientation [23], [24].Self-regulatory strategies are important because they can be used by learners to manage theiracademic time on projects or tasks, prioritize and reflect on their progress towards learning goals,and seek help when experiencing difficulty [20].

This method has proven to be effective in helpingfaculty members reflect on teaching methods and develop strategies for course improvement.An example of an Assessment Evaluation Form is shown in Figure 1. It has several sections,starting with the instructor’s evaluation of the level of difficulty of the assignment (easy,moderate, or difficult). Next, the instructor writes a description of how they expected students toperform on the task. Observational notes are then written which evaluate student performanceon the task, including quantifying the number of students exceeding (E), meeting (M), or below(B) expectations. An overall

As grades are, in the common-core year, of utmost importance, Page 15.1209.5as they determine acceptance into second-year programs, most students are fairly grade-focused.The student frustration with the expectations and evaluations was clearly reflected in theUSRI or student feedback scores. The University uses a seven point scale, where 1 ispoor, and 7 is excellent, for evaluation. The key questions influencing the redevelopmentwere two

In both internalization and constructivism, studentsconstruct their own understanding of their experiences and of the materials they are presented.1Such construction asks students to refashion pre-existing beliefs about the topics covered in thecourse as they receive new ideas, deeper understanding, and novel approaches. To facilitate this,instruction focuses on providing students with opportunities to develop, apply, and reflect ontheir own conceptions of course materials, subject to ensuring compatibility with the widerengineering profession.

design vs. teaching how to do design in a largefirst year class is not a trivial transition, nor can it be done without some scaffolding. Thegoals of enhancing student learning and improving engagement are positively reflected instudent feedback. Student feedback also suggests an intellectual curiosity to exploremore of the system modelling. In addition, the goal of closing the design loop has beenmet with positive feedback.As an initial offering the course instructor wanted to expose first year students to thetools that would be used in an iterative design process. This exposure required someconsideration as the complexity of some topics and some tools can quickly turn thelearning experience into an exercise in frustration.The authors are

Project managers noted the importance of communication, organization, timemanagement, and the ability to relate to team members.
