Transdisciplinary Engineering Design Process: Tracing Design Similarities through Comparison of Design Stages across Engineering DisciplinesIntroduction The integration of technology into contemporary product development practices hastransformed the engineering design process from disciplinary [1-3] to transdisciplinary. Thisintegration requires discipline experts to share technologies and knowledge beyond theirtraditional boundaries to design and create an artifact, thus resulting in a transdisciplinary designprocess. A transdisciplinary design process is a problem-solving activity that brings together,scientific knowledge and problem-solving techniques from multiple disciplines to solve acomplex problem [4]. A significant number
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 (h) addresses global and socialimpact. Constructivist theories of learning, irrespective of the subject matter, recognize thatlearning is a social activity, and design-based courses, including project-based courses, areregarded by most as opportunities to improve students

, 2019 Developing a Design Tool for Solution Mapping: Translating Practitioners’ Strategies to Support Student EngineersAbstractDesign processes often start with defining a problem and diverging to identify possible solutions;however, some design processes start with technologies and diverge to consider potential problemsthat these technologies can solve. In this latter process, engineers ‘match’ their technologies toproblems, a term we define as “solution mapping.” However, limited design strategies areavailable to support solution mapping. To fill this gap, we collected data from engineeringpractitioners on their processes for solution mapping and translated those findings to a sharabledesign tool for student

Society for Engineering Education, 2019AbstractIn recent years, makerspaces have become an increasingly common feature in the engineeringbuildings of academic institutions. Through the creation and continued funding of these spaces,access to rapid prototyping technology has allowed for fast, straightforward project developmentacross the engineering disciplines. While many hypothesize that students’ participation withinthese facilities has a positive impact on their educational experiences and outcomes, there is littleempirical data that describes how and to what extent individuals are impacted by exposure to amakerspace.In this paper, we seek to understand how the use of a university makerspace in a course projectimpacts students’ engineering
