. Lastly, we note that the student groupswe examined in this study are certainly not the only groups of interest regarding sorting ofstudent characteristics; various extra-curricular student clubs and project teams (including thoseexplicitly within engineering) may also experience systemic student sorting. We were unable toreliably measure student participation in such groups within the practical limits of our study, butfollow-on research to examine these other groups would benefit the community of EL educators.ConclusionsThe heterogeneity of the engineering student population implies an onus for EL educators toconsider the student composition in EL course cohorts – and to be mindful of the effects ofcohort composition upon the learning

Ultimately, students learn to workwith members of the community to create engineering solutions that are designed to address real-world problems.

Visual thinking is not housed only inthe ‘artist’s mind’ but in the engineer’s as well [7]. When we see, imagine, and draw things, weare thinking visually. These three types of visual thinking cannot exist in silos, for with increasedflexibility, they interact, which denotes an expert designer [7]. Expert engineers almost alwayssketch in their work, even with the adoption of computer software [8]. A study on expertengineers shows that sketching on paper is used by 90% of interviewed German engineers beforeand during their CAD work [8].

This heuristic could create a bias towards generalizing theseevents and create false stereotypes, such as judging a book by its cover. However, heuristics existbecause people find them as an easy guide to decisions that are often “good enough” or “reliableenough”15. Many disciplines have identified domain-specific heuristics based on expertise,including mathematical problem-solving16, artificial intelligence17, user interface design18,engineering design19–21, and decision research22.Previous research on engineering design has successfully utilized the theoretical framework

In groups of four, they use brainstorming methods to generatesketches of at least three possible storage devices that fit the parameters of the design challenge. Once several concepts are generated, the best one is selected based on evaluation criteria.During stage three, teams use engineering techniques to select the best concept from the previousstage and construct an argument for their best design.
