to acurriculum that is already in place. Universities that are adding new traditional engineeringmajors to their undergraduate offerings do not face that difficulty since they have the flexibilityto design the curriculum in a way in which ST/SE education is built in rather than added on.In the case of mechanical engineering undergraduate programs, an existing course that focuseson the process followed to design and develop new products is a logical choice to includefundamental ST/SE concepts. Some of the authors of this paper were involved in a project aimedat incorporating selected ST/SE topics in sophomore-level product design and developmentcourse offered at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology [18-20]. While the overallresults

) and then narrows the choices down by factors such as productioncost or reliability (convergent thinking). The concept of design thinking has been studied sincethe 1970’s [1] and its teaching methods and central characteristics are quite well known [4]–[6].2.2 Design MethodsDesign thinking is a type of cognition, but it also describes the process of design, otherwiseknown as a method. In many cases the method is simply the journey the designer takesthroughout the course of design project, though some have modeled the process visually. TimBrown, Stanford, SAP and a few others’ design thinking models were compared in a paper byEfeoglu, Moller, Serie, and Boer [3]. Each model they analyzed showed human values at thecore of the process which was

the explanations and example problems used in the textbook.IntroductionEngineering programs in Canada and the United states have similar accreditation processes andcriteria [1], [2]. ABET accredits programs in the United States while the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board (CEAB) accredits programs in Canada. In each system, the ability of astudent to consider the constraints of economics and incorporate economics into engineeringdesigns, projects and considerations is a requirement. As such, engineering programs must offerEngineering Economics in their programs and often fulfill this requirement with a coursededicated to this topic though it could be fulfilled in other courses such as design courses.As part an internal improvement study

the use of validation rules to support instruction (both stand-alonemodeling exercises and a larger, collaborative modeling project). Validation rules have provento be effective in reducing modeler errors when added incrementally in parallel with conceptsintroduced in class. The rules simplify grading (since the instructor can focus on value-addedcontent instead of semantic correctness). In addition, the rules conform to the Seven Keys toEffective Feedback proposed by Grant Wiggins: 1. Goal-Referenced (Error reduction/style conformance) 2. Tangible and Transparent (Rules clearly explain what is wrong) 3. Actionable (Error messages direct the modeler how to fix the issue) 4. User-Friendly (Private feedback that marks elements
