Many others believe that we should concentrate on urging andsupporting schools to increase the interest of their students in STEM, and colleges anduniversities to increase the number of students who not only major in STEM fields but alsocomplete degree programs in those fields [4].The National Science Foundation (NSF), for example, is working with colleges and universitiesto help increase the number of American students who complete their STEM degrees at alllevels. One program that illustrates this effort is the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics Program (NSF S-STEM). This program seeks: “ 1) to increasethe number of low

ofcognitive ideation. Instead, human designers must generate new objective spaces for AI to exploreand discover logical relationships between parameters that achieve the objectives. In this way, GDrequires inverse thinking from the objective space to the parameter space, while in TD, designersare required to cognitively explore the parameter space to optimize towards the objective(s).Aims and SignificanceDesign paradigms (e.g., TD / PD / GD) each require the human to carry out a unique set of tasks[1], [3], [6], [7], [9] which in turn define design thinking [8], [10], [11]. Thus, each paradigm isaccompanied by a unique design thinking concept. TD requires a designer to engage in traditionaldesign thinking (TDT), PD activates parametric design
