case study in particular.14 As designed, this open-endedrole-play experience in which the roles are clearly defined and personalities described not onlyenables students to experience “live” decision making process, it also allows them to explore theeffects of personality, relationships, and ambiguous data on decisions. The challenges facedduring the “live” decision-making of the role play stands in stark contrast to the “hindsight is20/20” perspective that seems to prevail when the students read the Challenger case study,though many of the influencing factors (e.g., economic, political, ambiguous data) are similar.Students who are not playing a role are assigned one of four types of observer roles (informative,normative, responsibility, and

. In addition, students were trained in an abbreviated version of human-centered EnterpriseDesign Thinking adopted from IBM and given a design project that incorporated Arduino kits tobe used to create design prototypes. Students had four weeks to complete the project which countedas their final. This approach aimed to demonstrate engineering principles in action so that studentscan make a better-informed major and career decision. Overall, preliminary results show thatstudents in the course are more engaged and feel they have a clearer sense of engineering.KeywordsIntroductory Engineering Course, Undergraduate Engineering, Arduino Kits, Human CenteredDesign Enterprise Design ThinkingIntroductionThe global workforce demand for highly competent
