Paper ID #37679Elevating Student Voices in Collaborative Textbook DevelopmentLeah M Wiitablake, Clemson University Leah M. Wiitablake is a current doctoral student in the Engineering and Science Education department at Clemson University. Her dissertation research focuses on undergraduate student interest and perceptions, in particular, the perceptions of and interest in the geosciences from students from traditionally minori- tized groups. As a graduate research assistant, Leah has worked on designing and assessing virtual reality field experiences for introductory geology courses and is currently involved with

diverse spectrum of knowledge,including fostering flexible modes of thinking, qualitatively demonstrated enhanced creativityand collaboration within design teams. Additionally, they reported developing a deeperunderstanding of themselves and cultivating more profound purposes.Building on this trajectory, this paper explores the implications of the HE pedagogy onengineering design education, examining its role in preparing students for engagement in designpractices, and considering what may motivate their deeper understanding of design. It provideshistorical context underscoring the pivotal role of design in engineering education and advocatesfor a more holistic approach to design methodologies. The research also investigates whetherexpanding

, multidisciplinaryprojects can be challenging for many reasons. Design education is often relegated to the end ofan undergraduate program, which does not allow students to learn from their mistakes becausethey are given tight deadlines and linear deliverables. In response, Fazelpour et al. argue for aholistic approach to design education throughout an undergraduate curriculum [6]. Students withdesign experiences throughout their undergraduate program will learn to work in teams earlier,better preparing them for peer collaboration and meaningful engagement with industry sponsors.That said, those who have implemented multidisciplinary capstone programs warn of potentialissues. Behdinan et al. note the potential for exacerbation of student performance issues such as

Finally, students found teamwork more enjoyable with this method ofsubmission. When surveyed, students' opinions of teamwork improved by an average of 1 point(on a 5-point scale). This mixed methods, IRB approved study, highlights the potential benefits ofincorporating individual portions in team assignments, paving the way for improved opinions onteamwork, promotion of accountability, and time management skills among students. Introduction This study explores a fresh approach to promote accountability and encourage individualparticipation in the

think and work [6].Design thinking is a problem-solving approach that emphasizes transdisciplinary and holisticskills to develop an innovative and comprehensive skill set among students [7]. In today's rapidlyevolving and technologically advanced world, integrating design thinking into engineeringeducation has become a valuable strategy to prepare students for success [8][9]. However,despite the growing interest in design thinking, there is a need for a systematic review of theliterature to explore its current state and identify future research trends. A review of the literaturecan provide a comprehensive overview of the research on design thinking in higher engineeringeducation, identify the strengths and limitations of the current literature

Mechanical Engineering 220 – Fundamentals of Mechanics (ME 220) is most often thesecond core engineering course, the first being an introductory computer science course, that everystudent will take before graduating, usually during their sophomore year [4]. It is also thefoundational course for students who are pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering or Civiland Environmental Engineering. As one of the core engineering courses, ME 220 is expected tohelp satisfy certain institutional learning outcomes, primarily teaching students how to applyengineering problem-solving methods with an emphasis on design methodology [4].
