A lot was just making it up, trying it out, and seeing what worked and what did not work.” (Hayley)Richard and Hayley’s ability to engage led them to learn new ideas and perspectives on how todesign.Invested & CommittedOur framework also highlights invested and committed student designers. In the context of ourframework, this category captures personal commitment to social justice and the sustainability ofthe design and processes. At the novice sophistication level, a student approaches design as asingular task without intention to apply what has been learned to a new situation. An awarestudent has a developing sense of social responsibility and ethics. They begin to explore theimpact of the design in the social

can see this worked out in Kallenberg’s [22] approach tothe teaching of ethics to engineering students, and we can also see that by substation of theengineering examples it is a more general application of design as knowledge. As both Kallenburgand Koen point out in any area of thought and practice that is ‘messy’ heuristics are valuable.Exercise 3. Student activity in relation to teaching decision making and its outcomesI had neither of these things in mind when I asked my students to design and implement a lesson toevaluate the merits of Wales and Stager’s design/problem solving heuristic for teaching decisionmaking. This heuristic was widely discussed by engineering educators in the nineteen seventies (Eckand Wilhelm, 1979 [23]; Heywood[24

IntroductionExperience shows that when students are engaged in activities that integrate both cognitive andsensory systems, they are more likely to maintain focus and have better retention of the subjectpresented.

Madeline andGwladys, the two social-science teachers, are also those who have included the most elaborateexercises regarding ethics and politics. This is taught in the form of debates and discussions,where normative assertions are measured against each other. For the teachers withoutschooling in the social sciences, it may be difficult to see how social and political aspects canbe made relevant in the technology subject, even though this had repeatedly been discussedduring seminars and described in the course’s literature
