provide a description of ourmethods, which includes the site where the intervention was conducted, the design of theintervention, the data collection process, and the data analysis approach. Then, we present theresults of the intervention and provide a summary of the conclusions, implications, andrecommendations for our planned next steps in this research direction. The results of this studyare meant to inform a more thorough, mixed methods assessment of the simulation game’s nextimplementation, as well as to refine and iterate the game’s design.BackgroundContemporary engineering work primarily involved solving problems related to decision-makingamong alternatives, troubleshooting malfunctioning systems, and design, all of which requiresome level

math that doesnot relate directly to the topic at hand. Use undergraduate students, family members, otherfaculty and staff, or anyone that you can find to test and discuss your plans. Students especiallycan provide a perspective to help with the streamlining process. A good example of streamliningis provided with the activity in section 4.g. Implementing the activityAt this point, it is time to implement the activity as it has been developed. Make sure to haveextensions or additional activities ready in case the project takes less time than expected. Thefirst time an activity is implemented, it is nearly impossible to predict exactly how it will go. Beprepared for things to go wrong and have as many backup plans as possible. The amount

over 10 years in the spaceindustry as a practicing engineer before joining academia, is illustrative: As the development of a satellite was ending, we (team members) started to talk to each other about what was coming next for us. One of my colleagues said that he was planning to write the continuation of Harry Potter. Intrigued by the idea, we asked him why. His answer was enlightening: “I have had to write so much science fiction in this project, that I feel totally capable to do it!”Engineering work affects society. Consequently, engineers have an inherent responsibility as partof their engineering practice for public safety and environmental sustainability, which requiresengineers to practice engineering
