Althoughsolution mapping practices are demonstrated in several fields within engineering, engineeringstudents have limited exposure and training in solution mapping as their curriculum mainlyfocuses on problem-first design processes. As a result, limited evidence-based design strategiesand tools are available to support curriculum development and training for our students.Using design strategies is important in supporting engineers to adopt evidence-based approachesto achieve design success [11]–[15].

Participation in REU’s is competitive and generally done through aprocess designed to pair students interested in a particular research area with faculty doing workin that area. REUs are also generally flexible in design with hosting institutions having a greatdeal of control over the organization and content of the program. These factors allow hostinguniversities to create REUs that can maximize local resources to provide unique educationalprograms to best benefit student participants.An interdisciplinary approach to summer REU programs can help address the challenge ofproviding soft-skills training within an engineering education environment (see for example [2],[3], [4]).

To ensure public safety through licensure, engineers must meet theminimum competency level set by statutory regulations for their tasks. Furthermore, they mustadhere to a professional code of conduct while carrying out responsibilities [2]. Failure ofcompliance with the stipulations may result in subsequent disciplinary processes.Engineering licensure has a long history in the United States.

In our own research on engineering student perceptions of ethics and socialresponsibility, we found that many engineering interns and co-ops reported encountering ethicalissues or dilemmas in the workplace [2]. This finding counters a common perception – oftenperpetuated by the prevalence of “big disaster” case studies in engineering ethics education – thatethical issues surface relatively rarely for most technical professionals. As Kline has argued,there is a continuing need to “move beyond this concern with what might be called ‘disasterethics’ to study the ethical and social aspects of everyday engineering practice” [3, p. 14].Aligned with Kline’s recommendation, the
