interest towards the end of the discussion with Ciara, asking:“Um, how are you enjoying the project? Do you like it, though?” Other NPMs may havediscerned from other questions that Ciara was not disinterested in the course or engineering. Forexample, early in the discussion, NPM Greer asked about a capstone course that Ciara had takenin high school and that she mentioned in her CATME report. Ciara shared that she “liked thatproject” – an engineering project – very much. For other NPMs, Ciara’s expressions that she hasa desire to contribute to the team but has trouble doing so due to logistical issue likely suggestedher inherent interest in the project and course.Results for Research Question 2: Supportive StatementsAll but one participant (92

State University. The class centers aroundproblem solving and programming in MATLAB and C/C++. In Autumn 2022, there were 8sections of the course taught by 6 instructors, for which the content and format were the samefor all sections. The topics supported by learning theories and resulting course modifications,implemented in Autumn 2022, are discussed below along with their pedagogical rational.Methods - Workshop Content and Classroom InnovationsThe workshop took place over five days and was led by department experts in the topics beingcovered. Morning sessions consisted of learning theory review and instruction. In the afternoon,programmatic areas (e.g., first-year, capstone) broke out to discuss how the theories of the daywere already

multiple individual 3and team activities. Seventeen sections with a capacity of 40 students per section of the coursewere offered in the spring of 2022 using a flipped format, where all course content was sharedwith students prior to class time, and hands-on activities and discussions were facilitated duringclass meetings. Students completed three projects throughout the course. The first two groupprojects were designed to help students learn the design thinking process in-depth. The finalgroup-based capstone project challenged students to apply what they have learned to address areal-world problem using the design thinking process to develop a
