; engineering design decisions are consequential for the design and how it performsupon implementation. To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting. Typically,explicit instruction related to decision making includes an introduction to rationalistic tools, suchas decision

Such short-term experiences increased partially owing to the intense global competition and theimportance for engineering students to develop global competence [6] [7]. For instance,Bender (2009) interviewed 32 engineering students who participated in internationalresearch projects and found that these students have developed writing skills, problem-solving skills, independent skills and self-confidence [8].

The motivation for this project came from onsite internship industry interviews andthe department’s three industrial advisory boards, which strongly suggested that early,immersion-type industrial experiences would prepare students to become better learners. Thisconversion coincided with the strategic imperatives that stemmed from a university-wide secondyear STEM major retention effort. This latter effort culminated in a four-year NSF fundedproject, of which the early internships are a module. This paper

The secondform of peer learning was implemented through the inclusion of a peer discussion periodfollowing in class clicker quizzes3. The third form of peer learning had the students creatingvideo project assignments and posting them on YouTube to explain course topics to their peers.Several other more informal techniques were used to encourage peer learning, which will also bediscussed in this paper.This paper will explain some of the details of how these peer learning techniques wereimplemented.

Given thediversity of the Latinx student population, this paper also explores differences in the perceptions ofeducators from two different geographical regions of the United States. Further, as educationalresponsibilities and passions can vary with instructor role (e.g., tenured, tenure-track, lecturers,professional faculty), this study examines the differences in perspectives across instructor role. Byunderstanding how engineering educators at HSIs describe their students, discrepancies can be identifiedwhich could lead to opportunities for affecting educational change, resulting in an improved educationalexperience at HSIs and other institutions educating Latinx engineers.MethodologyResearch project

Indeed,while Empathize is the first aspect of the d.School model, the team emphasizes an iterative andnon-linear design process, highlighting the role of empathy throughout one’s design process.In the context of engineering, the ways in which empathy manifests within design may varybased on the goals of a design project or the phase of the design process.
