. To circumvent this, educators oftenrequire at least three unique design concepts. Ideally, during iteration, additional concepts arebrainstormed based on initial test results. Figure 3: EDP Log, IdeateOn the Evaluate tab, the design descriptions auto-populate from the Ideate tab, along with thedesign requirements. Students are then asked to predict whether or not each concept is likely orunlikely to meet each of the requirements. These are just beliefs or predictions, but they shouldbe used to help the students to decide which concept(s) are most promising for furtherdevelopment and prototyping. When a student enters an ‘L’ for likely or a ‘U’ for unlikely, thegray cells turn green or red, respectively

based on scheduling of the co-author of this paper, time constraints onour study existed. While interviews would have provided a deeper look at students’ views ofengineering, the time for interviews was not available. Another limitation in the consistency ofthe data was the fact that many of the students were English Language Learners or below gradelevel. Many discrepancies involving vocabulary in Questions 1-3 may be the result of a lack ofwriting ability or vocabulary. For future work, vocabulary, writing, and reading will have greaterinfluence during the units.References[1] Cerinsek, G., Hribar, T., Glodez, N., and Dolinsek, S. “Which are my future career priorities and what influenced my choice of studying science, technology
