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

versus tomorrow is aninteresting framing that deserves more exploration.With the findings in mind the team was able to form conclusions and possible theories about theway engineering students specifically prototype for the future. Please note most conclusions areabout the future since most of the prototyping had to do with the present which acted as abaseline and the average person prototypes for present times were nearly identically to another.SummaryStudents often use existing commonly available technologies and/or methods to prototypepresent items. For near future things they may use existing less cost-efficient technologies, suchas an iPad carrying drone, seen in the Results section, to do novel activities. For the far futurestudents

invite diverse practices into the work in acollaborative and distributed process of imagining solutions for all.Taken together, these ideas suggest that learning engineering requires acquiring more than thetechnical knowledge (and we argue that it requires a distributed process), and that practicingjustice-centered engineering design requires incorporation of both technical and broader socialconsideration in all aspects of the work.Conceptual frameworkSociocultural theories of learning from the learning sciencesWhat is learning? If we look at popular media, we see that learning is portrayed as a faculty ofthe human mind divorced from interaction with other factors [11].

In an effort to characterize engineering education as an (eco)system for creating value, Hadi’s approach integrates analytical methods of data science to address changes in systems and society. More broadly, Hadi is interested in examining how engineering innovations

These feelings contributed to overall student engagement in Part III, their MATLAB coding, and may contribute to persistence in the program. In their classic ethnographic study of 460 science, mathematics, and engineering (SME) students from fifteen four-year institutions from 1990-1993, Seymour and Hewitt found that the third most commonly-cited factor (36.1%) for switching out of SME was poor teaching by SME faculty. Poor teaching by SME faculty was also mentioned as a concern by 90.2% of all switchers and by 73.7% of non-switchers [24]. In their follow-up ethnographic study of 346 students from six four-year institutions, Seymour and Hunter observed that poor quality of STEM

For example, our students struggled with terms such as “addingmachine” versus “calculator” skewing interface descriptions from the original study’s results.Alternatively, there were questions that mirrored the interpretations and compatibility resultsfrom the original study, highlighting the convergence of some displays/interfaces across time,occupation, and gender.Ultimately, our data indicates a need to address two significant considerations in thedevelopment of engineering curriculum and training: 1) How does engineering as a disciplineteach rationality and uniformity of design in an increasing diverse engineering studentpopulation? 2) How do we educate future engineers to mind the user gap?
