It didn‟t mean I sat back and thought about how I was - there was no meta cognition going on there. It‟s just I was doing it, likewise, just because you‟ve practiced as an engineer doesn‟t mean you‟ve decoded the mind of an engineer. − EthanThe dissonance experienced by our research participants with their peers and

CCW uses familial, linguistic, aspirational, resistant, navigational, and social capital to describe students’ strengths in and out of the classroom. These capitals appear in multiple settings and from many different sources. They also can be depicted simultaneously as a single capital cannot describe some strengths. For example, a role model for a student may provide both aspirational and navigational capitals simultaneously as they aid a student through the college experience.

classrooms which are focused on student team dynamics are well documented [3], [9][10], [11]. However, it is critical to provide guidance on the value and importance of leveragingthe benefits of diverse teams [12]. When the benefits of diverse teams are not pointedlyaddressed, the effectiveness of a diverse team can be diminished. One prime example of this isinequitable distribution of work and tasks due to gender bias [9], [10], [12],Similar to [12], this work focuses on the integration of activities designed to help students see thevalue and importance of diverse perspectives in engineering design.

While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5].

Prerequisite knowledge: Students' physics, trigonometry, and other topics preparation varies depending on their high school. University physics is not always a prerequisite for statics.
