in mind during conceptgeneration.To investigate how to support engineering designers in considering people throughout theirconcept generation we implemented a simple intervention: asking engineers to incorporaterepresentations of people within their concept sketches. In our single session study, mechanicalengineering students first generated concepts in response to a design prompt on their own. Thestudents talked aloud as they generated concepts in words and sketches for a short period. Then,we prompted the students to continue generating concepts for the same design task, but askedthem to include representations of “people, a person, or part of a person” within their sketches.Finally, we conducted a retrospective interview where students

developed as a technique to use with groups[15]. In practice, “brainstorming” refers to anymethod of idea generation where groups or individuals are instructed to generate as many differentideas as possible[21]. Engineering instructors, in many cases, encourage their students to generateideas using “brainstorming,” but may not provide students with specific instruction on how toexecute it (following Osborn). Instead, the term may be used to suggest a “natural” approach tothinking of ideas, pursuing whatever comes to mind in the moment. The expectation is often thatideas should arise without using any cognitive strategy, and without any instructions on how toideate successfully. This lack of instruction often prevents novice engineers from

The groupsconsist of 3-4 students. Both projects follow the students through the engineering design cyclebut with different goals and lessons in mind. The minor design project is more hands on and the Page 24.811.3students get to test their designs and realize their mistakes, which is detailed in a paper by Jaeger,et. al2.

client.Ultimately, students will realize at the end of this course that to be an engineering designer onecan not purely be an engineer; they require a creative mindset, the ability to work in a team, theability to think analytically and remain open-minded, an understanding of experiment design andrisk mitigation, and experience with costing. Engineering design is a multidisciplinary process.The identified process is a result of this instructor’s ongoing industrial involvement and wealthof experience in both engineering and business as a design engineer as well as a financialengineer. It is his experience in these areas that has resulted in a Faculty position involving acombination of the two. He also believes in the importance of design and economics

No longer able to design simply for humans, the problem facing new design engineers ishow to exercise inclusionary design practices for a global market. As the opportunities afforded Page 24.1034.16to students continues to allow for greater interactions with society, students need to develop anew toolset that uses both their technical and their social skills.All the programs reviewed in this study offer various takes on the standard design pedagogies.The programs agree that interdisciplinary work

This class could help the engineering education community better understandthe effect on learning that hackathons have. Other studies could generate hackathons withspecific learning goals in mind and try to steer students into a curriculum while still maintainingthe typical structure of a hackathon. This event would help show the worth of hackathons as aneducational tool.Another point of view for future works could be project management.

predominantlylanguage, history, and social science majors had resulted in the development of four generalizedattitude groups, loosely identified by responses provided in their initial entry surveys: the firstgroup was composed of students who had come to the conclusion that engineering was next toimpossible to understand, much less excel in. These students were discouraged by difficultiesthey had experienced and intimidated by the prospects of another semester of engineeringinstruction. The second group was typically composed of students who had been forced to takethe mechanical engineering sequence and, regardless of their previous performance, had made uptheir minds that engineering was irrelevant, both to their academic interests and to their futurecareers

Greater understanding andsatisfaction comes of a learning style called active learning, which is necessary for the student totruly learn the material16. This learning style engages the minds of the students and allows themto not just passively regurgitate what they have heard in some bygone lecture but to activelythink about what they are doing using any number of different techniques17.The active learning methods used in design engineering courses such as IDE 20, IDE 105, andIDE 401 adhere to these requirements by letting the student dissect safe, common products andtoys during the reverse

After ourextensive review, we concluded that available instruments were not as comprehensive as we hadhoped. Accordingly, we have teamed up with learning specialists and embarked on thedevelopment of a new instrument.

The process of discussing/ (arguing for) one’s understanding of an experience with peersand/or more knowledgeable others (teachers, parents) is in effect, the process of knowledgeconstruction (“first between people”) which is followed by the individual process of internalizingthe knowledge (“and then inside the child”).
