By understanding specific strategies used in solution mapping, this study can leadto explicit instructional tools to support engineering students in developing solution mappingskills.IntroductionIn engineering, design is an important skill that involves devising a system, component orprocess to address needs [1]. A typical engineering design curriculum teaches design processesthat begin by defining a problem and identifying potential solutions to address that problem [2]–[4]. Engineering textbooks focus on initial problem definition that often utilizes

standards are designed to produce graduatesthat are ready for work in technical fields. Institutions seeking accreditation from theEngineering Accreditation Commission of ABET must satisfy all General Criteria forBaccalaureate level programs. For instance, evidence of the engineering design process needs tobe specifically demonstrated for graduating engineering students based on the revised ABETcriteria 3, which requests that programs show that students have the “ability to apply engineeringdesign to produce solutions that meet specified needs...” [1]The requirements for showing “engineering design” ability has been well defined by the currentABET student outcomes.

This paper reviews apreliminary classroom study that sought to understand 1) how the source of biologicalinformation impacts resultant ideation success, 2) how the form of the biological representationinfluences resultant solutions, and 3) what the critical characteristics of a biological inspiration’srepresentation are for it to be successfully transformed into an engineering idea.

: Containing Design: Rethinking Design Instruction to Support Engineering Device Development for Low-Income CountriesAbstractWork-in-Progress: One of the primary benefits of a makerspace is the concentration of tools,materials, and expertise in one place [1]. Without makerspaces, design education in many low- tomiddle-income countries (LMIC) stops with a “paper” design and does not move onto a physicalprototype. More than 75% of registered makerspaces are in North America and Europe [2], andless than 4% of registered makerspaces are in Africa [3].As part of a joint project between Duke University (NC, USA) and Makerere University(Kampala, Uganda), “twin” makerspaces were built at the respective universities.

DesignAbstractOne approach to look at student learning is to identify “threshold concepts.” These are conceptsthat, once grasped, allow students to engage with the material in a fundamentally different way.First described by Meyer and Land [1], these concepts are transformative, irreversible,integrative, and troublesome. The process of mastering a threshold concept (TC) meanstraversing a liminal space during which the student is changed. Looking inward at our owncapstone program, we identified three candidate TCs: (1) Complex engineering problems arebest solved by teams working together. (2) A team can learn a lot from a prototype, even(especially?) when it doesn’t work. (3) The goal isn’t to find the right answer, but to learn aprocess by which a

These multidisciplinary challenges include makingsolar energy economical, restoring and improving urban infrastructure, providing access to cleanwater, and developing carbon sequestration methods. To address these design challenges,engineers in multidisciplinary teams must be able to communicate and justify their designseffectively for their work to be valued and implemented by stakeholders. Therefore, it is essentialthat graduating engineering students can work in interdisciplinary teams and communicateeffectively.

Finally, a range of backgrounds can increase the team’sability to understand and empathize with different customers and stakeholders. Allowing for aculture of inclusion strengthens the output of a group and maximizes the benefits of a diverseteam [1-2].

Prototypes allow engineers tocommunicate their design ideas, test functionality, and get valuable feedback from stakeholders.For physical products, the prototyping process often involves computer-aided design (CAD) tomodel solutions or perform analyses. Most undergraduate mechanical engineering students take aCAD course during their studies. Further, research has shown that instruction on CAD tools hasa positive impact on students’ development of spatial reasoning skills [1]. The prototypingprocess and the use of CAD tools are often interwoven during engineering design, particularlywhen designing physical artifacts.Depending on the nature of a design problem, an
