engineering design course that aims to enhance theengineering design and engineering disciplines for first-year students in liberal arts universities.Specifically, we examined what learning objectives in this course motivated students. Moreimportantly, the study explored whether these motivations aligned with teacher’s perceptions ofmotivation, and how these motivations varied based on student demographics. The course isdesigned as a highly interactive seminar-style course that explores all aspects of the engineeringprofession, including engineering disciplines, education, creativity and design process, andengineers’ professional and ethical responsibilities. Students here implement the engineeringdesign process to develop prototypes that solve

This fall-term course enrolled the first-year class of approximately 140 chemical, civil, electrical,mechanical, and general engineering students. Interdisciplinary teams worked on projects in thegeneral theme of “Engineering for Social Good.” Project topics included: designing smarter andmore resilient cities, developing therapeutic devices, designing shelter for refugees in flight, andmaking fuel from food waste. The faculty designed and led their own section’s projects whilehaving a set of common activities and deliverables with similar timelines and baseline rubrics.To build community among the students, every project team had

In an effort to introduce diversity in design andto troubleshoot the concept of the universal user, we adapted the display compatibilityquestionnaire from Smith’s study of display-control stereotype designs, and presented the samedesign questions to 21st century first-year engineering students, non-engineering students, andnon-engineering professionals. This work explores current societal impacts such as gender, age,and occupation on the user expectation of a control’s display and user-interface design.Additionally, the

Participatory design “attempts to actively involvethe people who are being served through the design process to help ensure the designedproduct/services meet their needs” [38]. The goal is to “involve those who will become the usersthroughout the design development process to the extent that this is possible” ([38], p. 14). Thesecond approach is generative design [38].

In addition, every field tends todefine creativity differently as it relates to that field, but most people view creativity as highlyvaluable [9].Creativity in Engineering. Creativity is increasingly essential to engineering. It is listed as thethird most important skill for an engineer to have [10]. The core of engineering is to solve real-world problems. In order to do this, engineers have to apply scientific principles in creative waysto develop effective and efficient solutions [11]. The problems we face today are becoming morecomplex as technology advances, therefore the solutions to these problems are required to bemore creative [12, 13

This finding grounded most of Trevelyan’sfuture work, which focused on the importance of social interactions within engineering practice (Trevelyan,2009, 2010b). Beyond the overarching themes of the practice of engineering, research has also focused on thecompetencies required for an engineer. In a 2007 study, Passow and Passow conducted a literature review inwhich they evaluated 52 studies that described various engineering competencies (Passow & Passow, 2017).Through their analysis, the team synthesized the findings into 16 competencies that included: communication,ethics, design, management, and more.

The new criteria include a need to demonstrate training andexperience in areas specific to design methodology. These skill requirements, such as teamwork,technical communication, economics and ergonomics of system or product design, civicengagement and ethics, reveal that the mere acquisition of technical knowledge is insufficient fora robust, modern engineering education [2].Goals and objectivesThere are several core goals involved in this paper, all centered on improving student experience,learning, and satisfaction in undergraduate education.
