The ABET Student Outcomes includethe abilities to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, createa collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives (3.5)and to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (3.3) (Engineering AccreditationCommission, 2017). Furthermore, social cognitive and constructivist theories highlight theimportance of social activities in design learning (Ertmer & Newby, 2008). Accordingly,engineering design is usually taught in team-based learning environments, and students’ teamingis

regardless of the specific topic of the design,the experience students may have is governed by the appropriateness of the project topic.A growing trend that we have noticed in our student population is a lack of “practical”knowledge of technology. In a University with a mix of rural/urban/suburban communities fromwhich the majority of new students are drawn, we now see engineering students who comewithout the childhood experience of having tinkered with technology. The loss of this tinkeringbackground seems to have the effect of delivering students to our first year classes who lackknowledge of how things work, or of the parts that make up complex systems.

conceptual modeling in precollege engineering contexts.2.0 Background2.1 Conceptual modeling within engineering design educationOne of the most pervasive features of science, engineering, and technology is the use of visualrepresentation in the form of conceptual models, diagrams, tables, equations, and drawings [12].Further, engineering can be thought of as a discipline that teaches students to transform one setof representations into another: text to diagram to symbol [13]. Visual representations areimportant not only to communication, but also to teaching and learning.Such visual representations include conceptual models, which both communicate and facilitatecommunication between audiences of different expertise (e.g., peers, instructors

A strong case for increasing design in engineering education curricula is also madeby Dym7.Literature ReviewLand and Zembal-Saul investigate technology-based scaffolds in a project-based learningenvironment8. They found that appropriate scaffolding can enhance student articulation andreflection and help students focus on the more educationally-relevant aspects of project-basedlearning tasks.Shuman, Besterfield-Sacre, and McGourty discuss throughout their paper how ABET 2000Creterion 3 Outcomes are addressed by student engineering design projects9.

for the problems they deal with.” A mechanicalengineering professor believed, “Engineers approach design logically, whether it works or notand that designers approach design aesthetically, whether it looks good or not and how userfriendly it is. But they both should have both in mind.”On the topic of selecting a solution one product/industrial design professor stated that,“engineers explore a few varieties to find an acceptable solution that is dependable. They like toknow for sure something will work.” Additionally, this professor felt that, “Industrial designersare trained to find the problems and then to find the solutions that are „plausible‟ based oncurrent and emerging technologies.” Likewise it was also stated by one participant, “In
