work, but it was this experience and it is further design experience that I will have as an engineer that will help me understand that you have to incorporate all these other factors into my design.Andrew also discussed how the experiences of having his solutions rejected helped him learn theimportance of starting with the humans in mind. I’ve had…complete ideas scrapped because they didn’t meet the end goal. And so it’s kind of like working jointly, and I think from my experiences, in order for it to be successful, an in-depth knowledge of your user has to come first so that you can make sure you’re designing to their specifications. But as I’ve learned and had different solutions rejected, I’ve
) who, in turn, has in mind a set of users(or customers) for whose benefit the designed artifact is being developed” [10].In the work presented in this paper, “engineering design” refers to situations where an individualor team begins with a fairly vague notion of a problem or a set of needs that their design willaddress, as opposed to a situation where a very strict set of immutable requirements are handedto the team at the start. For example, a team could be tasked with designing a system to detectthe posture of a user sitting in a chair and use that information to improve posture. Or, a studentcould be tasked with designing a system to automatically detect bruised bananas as they speed byon a conveyor belt. Or, a team could be tasked to

onusing these tasks as an instrument to measure the level to which IE students are acquiringsystems thinking skills. Two of Booth Sweeny and Sterman tasks were used: a department store task and theCO2 zero emissions task. With this in mind, an investigation began with one researchquestion: Are we teaching our students to think systematically? The tasks were given to Industrial Engineering students. After they were taken, thedata was filtered by type of high school, English proficiency, age and semester of study. More basic but necessary quantitative and analytical skills such as the ability to read agraphic, interpret the data, and tell a story from the graph underlie the above listed skillsand prevent the ability of a person to
viable.For us, this starts with developing a community of support to give faculty the confidence toeffectively introduce wicked problems into their existing courses. Through this community,faculty may leverage one another’s expertise in order to expose students to real-world wickedproblems. In the spirit of holistic engineering education, our hope is to enable instructors toconfidently develop their students’ non-technical skills which are integral for generatingsustainability-minded leaders of the future.5,6Research MethodsIn this paper, our primary research objective was to develop a valid and reliable psychometricinstrument that measures a series of sustainability-related learning objectives that are central toWPSI. Our second objective was to
technicalcomponents (Arduino, servo motor, speaker, LEDs). Simple block coding via mBlock was usedto add mobility, sound, and light to the robotic animals. During the final collaborative session, anengineering student from each team provided guidance on the robot’s design. In particular, theengineering students’ assistance was sought when building and coding a mechanism to addmovement to the robot.This study, while intended to directly impact the coding knowledge and interprofessional skillsof education and engineering students, is also part of a larger movement to broaden participationin STEM fields, particularly engineering. The interventions were designed with this wider goalin mind. All of the preservice teachers were female, as were half of the
