The details of the systematic qualitative analysis canbe found in our work [29]. The interviews focused on discussing specific projects they haveworked on, which led to the commercialization of their technologies. Example interviewquestions are shown in Table 1. 3Table 1.

their courses. Second, administrative processes atuniversities make adding new courses and/or updating current offerings to incorporate socially engaged designcontent a long, difficult process that requires significant investment from faculty members. Third, non-traditionalengineering skills may not fit sequentially into engineering curricula. Students are typically most motivated toacquire these skills when confronted with the challenges of specific design projects, which they may encounterthrough both traditional coursework and co-curricular opportunities. Because of these factors, educationalprograms related to socially engaged design need not only to be accessible to faculty for incorporation into theirexisting courses, but also accessible

Few examples of other types of reflection activities (e.g.,graphing, sketching) have been presented or studied in the engineering education literature. In this project, which is part of a larger investigation into high performance design teams, weexplored the use of graphing and other visual techniques for recording designers’ perceptions oftheir design processes and products. Our primary aim was to introduce greater richness into theevaluation of designers’ behaviors and outcomes as we posed research questions about

He joined the University in 2016 after spending 6-years as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical En- gineering at the University of Louisville (UofL). Bohm’s research examines the intersection of 3 distinct areas, engineering design, engineering education, and big data. Currently, Bohm has an active NSF grant under the Division of Undergraduate Education to examine the effects of systems modeling paradigms with respect to design outcomes and systems thinking and understanding. While at UofL, Bohm was primarily responsible for overseeing the Mechanical Engineering Department’s capstone design program. Prior to his position at UofL, Bohm

skills intoengineering curricula. As a result, engineering education is starting to change.One major area of change in engineering education is in design. Although design is widely considered asthe most distinguishing and fundamental activity of engineering [1], most curricula have it either isolatedin the senior year or sometimes also in the first year. Now, as the engineering curriculum has progressed,first year design courses, known as the cornerstone engineering courses, and fourth year design courses,referred to as capstone courses, have seen increased development as well [1]. However, these capstonecourses serve as the only standard opportunity across engineering education for undergraduateengineering students to showcase their engineering

Team construction | As part of the class, students were grouped for their team projects in groups of 2-5. While all data for this study was collected on an individual basis, students were instructed to dissect different products than their teammates. IV. Concept Introduction | Students were introduced to the inventive concept they would be brainstorming and discussing with their teammates. For the graduate students, they would be discussing the design of a novel alarm clock for those that have a difficult time waking up

Of particular interest is whether the presence of a prototype exemplar contaminatesthe design process for novice designers. That is, does the prototype exemplar cause novicedesigners to fixate on particular design features thereby limiting creativity or does it help them toimprove the performance of their designs?The concept of designers fixating on particular design features is not new to the study ofengineering design.
