. Such conceptual processes of mappinghave been identified by architects and landscape architects as valuable devices for creativeagency and used to reveal abstract qualities of site, an uncovering that becomes a strategic toolenabling innovative approaches to spatial design [31], [35]. Yet such powerful process have notyet been similarly taken advantage of by engineers. Not only could engineers profit from such acreative tool; furthermore the process appears to give greatest support to early stages of creativethinking and to divergent thinking, that phase of creative research for which engineerstraditionally have fewest models [18], [22], [36].Finally, for engineering students, many of whom are more confident with technology than withvisual

institutions as a team processwith socio-technological dimensions. (13) One practical reason is that ABET general engineeringcriteria target the social aspects of engineering education at several levels. In addition to criterion3(c), “an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs,” criterion 3(d)addresses the need to function on multidisciplinary teams, criterion 3(f) social and ethicalresponsibilities, criterion 3(g) communication skills, and criterion 3(h) addresses global andsocial impact. Constructivist theories of learning, irrespective of the subject matter, recognizethat learning is a social activity, and design-based courses, including project-based courses, areregarded by most as opportunities to improve students

ENG 3 was piloted in collaborationwith the UCD Student Farm named “Physical Computing Design Solutions for Farmers.” Thedesign project fulfilled key objectives of the course, namely to introduce the engineering designprocess and to provide a meaningful experience for students to develop their oral and technicalcommunication skills. All students were provided digital technology kits for use in the projectand instruction in order to create a more level-playing field for those who lacked priorexperience. Through the project, students worked in collaborative teams to address an authenticopen-ended on-campus challenge with broader real-world implications. Project milestones werestructured around a series of formative communication assignments (e.g
conversations about equity anddiversity in the classroom. The engineering curriculum is not neutral, and knowledge is producedwithin a power-driven social and cultural system [3, 4].

Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED
paper, we focus on the lessons learned from adding newtechnology to an existing UAV curriculum. In addition, we ask our audience for feedback relatedto supporting students in using novel tools for engineering design and for ideas for how to bestcapture students’ skill development over a relatively short period of time.We learned that the addition of technologies, like AR, to students’ learning experiences, thetechnology needs to serve a purpose that helps students see the value in a new tool to helpaddress the challenge they are working on. This gives students a coherent experience even in aweekly after-school program. For example, we saw youth use their ideas about designingskyhooks from craft materials to help them decide which 3D printed
