Service-Learning Design CourseAbstractThe development and skill of empathizing with others has become a necessity for successfuldesign engineers. To develop this skill, learning experiences are needed that encourageengineering students’ understanding of their users and stakeholders. Studies have shown an“authentic” experience involving real-world contexts reflecting the work of professionals helpsto develop and foster empathy. At Purdue University, a service-learning design program partnersmulti-disciplinary teams of students with community organizations to address needs and solvereal-world problems. In previous research on the program’s design process, findings showed howstudents perceive the human aspect of engineering design and how they

spirit, we contend that in design, build, and test courses studentslearn when they are required to reflect on their experiences and identify theirlearning explicitly. Further, we posit that utilization of an assessment instrument,the learning statement (LS), can be used to both enable and assess studentlearning. In our course, AME4163: Principles of Engineering Design, a senior-level,pre-capstone, engineering design course, students learn by reflecting on doing bywriting statements anchored in Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. In Fall 2016we collected over 11,000 learning statements from over 150 students. To addressthe challenge of analyzing and gleaning knowledge from the large number oflearning statements we resorted to text mining

abilityto transfer the closed-ended skills used on a typical math problem to an open-ended problem.The Reflective Practitioner. A study by Valkenberg and Dorst discussed the use of descriptive andreflective practices in design [6]. This paper drew heavily on Schön’s paradigm of reflective practice [7].Schön contends that every design problem is necessarily a unique challenge. Teaching students the skillsto reflect on their design while innovating, in order to advance the design, is essential to teaching design.This also can lead to problems, since if every problem is unique, and the students want a single concreteroadmap for how a project should go, there is bound to be conflict. Valkenberg and Dorst discussed fourdifferent design activities

to improve such courses incrementally. In our course AME4163 –Principles of Engineering Design, a senior-level engineering DBT course, we haveincorporated David Kolb’s experiential learning construct into the fabric of courseactivities, assignments, and structured exercises. We now seek to additionallyleverage Piaget’s cognitive constructivism and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theoryinto structured learning exercises. One such exercise is the ‘Learning Statement,’(LS) a reflective exercise in which students directly translate experience intolearning and articulate expected future value from that learning. In employing theLS as an instrument for a formative assessment, we attempt to identify the students’Zones of Proximal Development (ZPD

Their matrixderives from existing literature and explores nine design strategies, from “understanding thechallenge” to “reflecting on the process.” Compared to beginners, informed designers aredescribed as continual learners who work creatively and make decisions based on their skills andknowledge. Similarly, Cross10 compares the behaviors of expert and novice engineeringdesigners. For instance, when solving a problem, expert designers focus on “breadth-first Page 26.1131.3approaches

matrices or House of Quality. However, in the process of providing rationalistic toolsto students, engineering education may be implicitly perpetuating the belief that engineers makedecisions through rationalistic reasoning alone. In reality, other types of informal reasoning, suchas empathic and intuitive reasoning, are utilized for decision making in ill-structured contextssuch as engineering design. The beliefs that undergraduate students hold about decision makingin the context of design is not well understood, and this work contributes to this gap in theliterature.To learn more about students’ beliefs about decision making, we collected qualitative pilot datain the form of both one-on-one, semi-structured interviews and written reflections

This study was conducted in a junior-level design course of 76 BME students.We collected and analyzed three data sources: students’ self-reflection reports about theirreframing processes, empathic design tendency scores, and interviews with selected teams andinstructors. The results demonstrated that more than half of the students perceived the connectionbetween empathy and their reframing decisions and that they usually had one reframing momentin the stages of problem definition and concept identification. Also, the findings suggested thetriggers for their reframing moments, information sources guiding their reframing processes,changes made through reframing, and influences of reframing decisions on team

However, as many institutions are experimenting with alternativemodels that incorporate group work throughout a degree program, there is little understanding ofhow—or whether—students are able to develop the skills they need to work on their own. In thisstudy, we address students’ views towards collaboration and their construction of individualcompetence in a novel transdisciplinary learning environment, where group projects are typicaland individual work is highly atypical.Collaboration and Teamwork SkillsEngineering education researchers have long recognized the importance of collaboration andteamwork, reflecting the

As part of discussion groups, they were asked to prioritize thechallenges and identify those that most interested them. Most students were previously unawareof these challenges. In reflecting what was learned in this module, one student stated: I learned the responsibility of engineering. With all the rewarding aspects of engineering comes responsibility. The grand challenges emphasized the responsibility engineers have to society. If engineers have the tools to create, they should use them to create good. This is important to acknowledge so that engineering can remain ethical and just.Students were then
