While thecourse is taught specifically with engineering design in mind, the course has attracted studentsfrom varying majors which has fostered collaboration and creativity in idea generation. Thecombination of critical thinking methodology with innovation concepts has led students to notonly expand their knowledge of potential applications of engineering, but has lead severalstudents to initiate communication with faculty members regarding their ideas for researchopportunities, innovation competitions, and initiated their own projects via applying forUniversity Innovation Fellows

public I should always keep an open mind and consider different groups. A sentence from the lecture that resonated with me and I wrote down was ‘If we don’t design for everyone - not everyone benefits from engineering.’” “These lectures and quiz sections have been my favorite so far in this class. Learning about how extreme the lack of diversity in the STEM field is was stunning to me… I had never considered that social biases could be reflected in science, a topic which I took for cold hard facts.” Comments on weaknesses and areas for improvement: Feeling that [university] generally is very biased in one direction can be intimidating.

It is a theory of learning founded on the premise that the reflection of our experienceswill construct our own understanding of future knowledge, much like the purposeful, deliberate,and systematic nature of engineering, which requires reflection on past knowledge to constructfuture creations. There are several guiding principles of constructivism30,41,47,63,74:1. Understanding comes from interactions with the environment. A learner’s knowledge comes from his/her pre-existing knowledge and experience, and new knowledge is formed when connecting previous experience to the new content and environment.2.

Further, the established design process guides published by Stanford d.school[7] and IDEO [8] place empathy among the first steps to take when aiming for innovation. As forself-efficacy, it is currently hypothesized that it influences an engineer’s interest and ability tocarry out tasks associated with innovativeness [9], such as open-minded design exploration [10].However, despite educators attempting to teach empathy [11], [12] and innovation self-efficacyto engineering students, there is little understanding as to whether students develop either ofthese mindsets.
