In our study, we explored whether we could help students persist inengineering by encouraging such positive learning dispositions and behaviors.In this work-in-progress paper, we report preliminary results from a one-credit course called“Engineering the Mind.” We used design-based research and the Transtheoretical Model (TTM)of Health Behavior Change to design the course and assess the outcomes. The goal of the coursewas to encourage students to adopt positive learning dispositions and behaviors by teaching themhow the brain works.BackgroundDesign-based research (DBR) is a research method that evaluates theory-based interventions(that were developed in laboratory conditions) in complex

Wemeasure these underlying factors because each engineering and computing student admitted to auniversity has clear potential for academic and personal success in their undergraduatecurriculum from admissions criteria, however, while some thrive academically, others flounder.In this project, we ask, “Why is it that highly credentialed and previously successful

engineering students may find it hard to perform effectively. When faced withan unfamiliar problem, many engineering students may find it difficult to employ theirdivergent thinking skills and conceptualise ideas which are different from the first idea whichcomes to mind (either through ability or unwillingness to consider other ideas), or be able toproduce ideas which use a variety of concepts to try and resolve the problem [16-18]. Thisphenomenon is known as design fixation. Results found by Nazzal [9] suggest that thedivergent thinking skills and ability of engineering students to overcome design fixation,increases between the first year and following years of study. In the interest of furtherenhancing the creativity skills of engineering students

transferable to people and settings with similar characteristics, some limitations of our study should be noted. Our study did not evaluate the experiences of majority students in the field of engineering. By consequence, and as stated in the discussion section, we do not claim the experiences analyzed in this study are limited to the URM student community. However, we recommend these results be used keeping this intended scope in mind as it is possible that these experiences are not strictly unique to the demographics and identities of our participants. Additionally, the majority (six out of eight) of our participants are underrepresented women. This intersection of oppressed identities may have influenced the experiences detailed in this study due

This heuristic could create a bias towards generalizing theseevents and create false stereotypes, such as judging a book by its cover. However, heuristics existbecause people find them as an easy guide to decisions that are often “good enough” or “reliableenough”15. Many disciplines have identified domain-specific heuristics based on expertise,including mathematical problem-solving16, artificial intelligence17, user interface design18,engineering design19–21, and decision research22.Previous research on engineering design has successfully utilized the theoretical framework

andperhaps responsibility as working engineers, the use of reflection as a tool for making decisionsbecomes much more important. A challenge will be conveying to students this important use ofreflection, as only 8% of student respondents considered this form of use.Finally, it is important to note that remembering is a moderately important use of reflection forboth students and faculty, but not for practitioners. Keep in mind that remembering implieslooking back upon past events without actually attempting to make meaning from it. Whystudents and faculty would be more prone to use this relatively passive form of reflection isunclear.

a class community is established early in the program.The format of Engineering Design Days is very similar among the different implementations. Forthe first half-day, students are presented with constrained problems strongly tied to their coursecontent. These problems serve as warm-ups, introducing the problem space and leading studentsthrough an analysis of a related but simplified system. These warm-up problems also provide anassessment opportunity that can be used as an assignment in one or more courses, whichstrengthens the links to course content in students’ minds and makes the expectation clear thatthe time is not just about having fun as a team. The next two half-days are an open work periodfor students to design, construct and
