engineering degree programs.Undergraduate engineering curricula include engineering ethics through specialized courses andprogram-wide integration. While some engineering programs embed one stand-alone ethicscourse within a curriculum, other programs embed ethics modules across a few courses within acurriculum. Very few engineering programs weave engineering ethics across a four-yearundergraduate curriculum in a concerted and developmental way [7]. Engineering ethics taughtin stand-alone courses is usually offered within the first two years of study [4]. According toDavis [6], several engineering programs also embed ethical modules into technical writing andcommunication seminars, senior capstone projects, and introduction to engineering courses

experience is limitedto a single capstone project undertaken in their final year [13-15]. Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering

Studies have demonstrated that STEM students find it challenging to work with adiverse population. This is juxtaposed with the reality that over 50% of STEM employers preferto hire interculturally competent graduates. As such, national agencies and higher educationinstitutions have been urging STEM faculty to integrate intercultural competence into thecurriculum.

While design thinking is commonly associated with fields likeindustrial design, it can be applied to many problem types. For example, several recent examplesdemonstrate the applicability of design thinking to the design and development of educationalmaterials, courses, and systems. These results suggest that design thinking could be used as aframework to (re)design and develop effective engineering courses. The goal of this project is tounderstand how nine educators from different backgrounds did or did not use design thinking toredesign a sophomore
