Penner et al.23 demonstrate that students who designedphysical models better understood science models, though their instruments seemed biasedtowards these students. Further studies are needed to evaluate the learning of engineering.However, with respect to some engineering habits of mind, researchers have shown that designprovides an opportunity for students to test their preconceptions21, creatively develop uniquesolutions through multiple paths13,14,24,25, engage in systems thinking25, iteratively refine theirdesign and thinking20, learn from failure18,26, collaborate and communicate22,24,27, manipulate andreflect with materials15,18,21,26, and ethically and civically design for people28.

sure thateverybody finds a thing, but rather about making it accessible and easy to use and remix andshare once it's found. Radical transparency is not a magic bullet -- it's not an "if you build it, theywill come" route to millions of readers. But it is a way to give the readers you get an opportunityand a choice to engage more deeply with a work on their own terms. What surprised me was how foreign (and consequently scary due to being an unknown)transparency was to so many people in academia. The mode of sharing that I'd taken for grantedin the open source context was much more constrained by data privacy concerns in the scholarlyrealm. There are good reasons for this; ethics are vital, and sometimes preserving privacy is theright

The CORfound these statements shocking and culturally insensitive but recognized that the statementstemmed from the COR praising the women for their amazing work ethic.

In addition, students need to function on multidisciplinaryteams, have good communication skills, and use modern engineering tools to solve problems.These requirements suggest that engineering courses should be using real life project-basedlearning throughout the curriculum.

According to a 2002 National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) study on technological literacy1 few people are “aware that moderntechnology is the fruit of a complex interplay between science, engineering, politics, ethics, law,and other factors,” and therefore they are unable to make informed personal or policy decisionsabout technology development, priorities, and use. Greater knowledge of the underlying scienceand engineering needed to design and operate public works and the impact of public works onour quality of life will contribute to the knowledge and ways of thinking characteristics of atechnologically literate citizen as defined in the 2002 NAE study1.A consortium of public works engineers, science museums

teamwork, ethics, social context, and other broadconsiderations. The need to teach design has traditionally been addressed in Capstone courses.There is a trend to introduce design earlier in the curriculum such as through first-yearintroduction to engineering subjects or through required design “cornerstone” subjects2.A difficulty frequently observed in design projects is that students begin work too late. This hasbeen referred to as “time scallop” -- as deadlines are approached, effort levels rise rapidly andfall back to low levels repeatedly2. A challenge to implementing early design experiences inengineering programs is the readiness of the student population for hands-on design work.
