to addressing modern engineering problems [15] and are helpfulin the cultivation of informed and expert designers [16]. When embedded and central toengineering cultures and pedagogy, scholars have argued that design provides students thepossibilities to gain a greater tolerance for ambiguity, adopt multiperspectival approaches toproblem-framing, and, ultimately, become informed designers [17]. Crismond and Adamsdeveloped the Informed Design Learning and Teaching Matrix that presented strategies andpractices aimed at helping students move from novice to informed designers [16]. The InformedDesign Learning and Teaching Matrix helps “by directing teachers’ attention to common designmisconceptions and habits of mind of beginning designers

done for the project partner. So, I’dsay it’s pretty much client-based.”Similarly, when describing the design process, Sebastian emphasized the human aspect bystating, …that’s what I really like about EPICS. It makes you think about the user. It adds a constraint to all your designs, which usually ends up improving it because eventually, even if you did design something without the human aspect in mind, you would have to incorporate that eventually because humans are usually always the users.Here, Sebastian emphasizes HCD as part of EPICS when considering both immediate andhypothetical or future users. Also related to design, Sara discussed the change in thoughtregarding engineering from a HCD perspective. When asked if

After his term ended, Vinson asked him if he would be returning to thecompany for another term: Chris: As of right now I don’t think so anymore. I think right now I want to just finish my degree [and not take extra time away from coursework to work]. Vinson: Why did you change your mind? Chris: Originally I thought that logistics was something I’d be very interested in.

.      Section 3: Cartoons as Cultural SymbolsIn addition to their ability to engage and energize students, cartoons are symbolic texts thatrequire interpretation based on cultural awareness and critical thinking. Interpreting cartoons istherefore a valuable educational exercise, not just an attention-grabbing hook or mindlessentertainment. It crucially relies on skills that ABET values for engineering students, such asconsidering multiple perspectives and thinking about social contexts. When cartoons areanalyzed aloud during class, as discussed above, then students also practice oral communicationskills, including defining an explanation and listening with an open mind to others’interpretations.Like all sources, cartoons are multi-layered and

great quest for understanding manyunanswered questions of nature.” 23 On the other hand, Grand Challenges distinguishesengineers’ unique contributions, even to science: “In the popular mind, scientists and engineershave distinct job descriptions. Scientists explore, experiment, and discover; engineers create,design, and build. But in truth, the distinction is blurry, and engineers participate in the scientificprocess of discovery in many ways.” 24 Here again, the report plays the boundaries ofengineering loosely, in this case the boundary between science and engineering, to castengineering in its most favorable light. 25The tension in engineers’ ambiguous relationship with scientists represents an opportunity forengineers to embrace more
