Cech’s research identifies threepillars of engineering education culture that decrease a student’s level of engagement with publicwelfare over time [11]. The three pillars: depoliticization, social/technical dualism, andmeritocracy; affect how engineers engage with public welfare, which can be extended to apply toother social issues such as unconscious bias.

In addition to communicating design concepts to others, rapid prototyping is also useful inverifying the feasibility of new design objectives. Through creating prototypes, students canexamine whether or not their designs operate as intended and might detect problems that wouldnot be apparent without a physical model. Thus, prototypes can be used for functional testing anddesign validation. [9]2.

The design project was structured so that faculty research and pre-project prep wouldguide/facilitate the work, not dictate the final results. This working method allowed for a greatdegree of student input (far greater than any other capstone deign project), but it also meant thatstudents were operating with reserved confidence and expectations. In the end, there was a gooddegree of original/inventive design, but stereotypes of engineers and artists prevailed.

Even though PBL seems to be the most adequate model for teaching SE, there are a numberof open research questions and challenges regarding this pedagogical model.

Often, the system stretches beyond designers’ capabilityto grasp all of the details simultaneously [1] .One strategy for coping with the many variables is:to bring the system back within the limits of human mental capacity by focusing selectively on alimited number of factors, preferably the most significant ones. Designers are usually good atestimation. They are able to size up parameters, sort them out in terms of their relativeimportance, and neglect the ones that have less impact on the project.
