This connection is viewedas imperative for developing future engineers’ attitudes towards human-centered design and theirroles in society.2,3 Similarly, ABET calls for holistic skillsets that encompass both technicalskills and “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility,” while the NationalAcademy of Engineering has emphasized the

The intent was to showhow computing and engineering professionals could make a positive difference in the lives ofothers, even if limited to working from behind a computer screen. However, the project waslargely self-directed by the students, as each team picked the subject for a provided grade leveland then wrote a software application for it. While the project allowed students to displaytechnical competency, it embraced a person-centric view towards learning as an internal process.In his seminal work, Kolb discusses the characteristics associated with the concept ofexperiential learning [1], where thoughts and ideas are not fixed, but are formed and reformedthrough continuous processes grounded in

.    Introduction  Spatial reasoning is an important predictor of student success in STEM fields [1], [2]. Sorby  reports that spatial cognition has been a focus of research for nearly a century. One important  part of spatial cognition is "spatial visualization, which is defined as the process of  'apprehending, encoding, and mentally manipulating three dimensional spatial forms'" [3].  Given this importance of spatial visualization, an important question is if and how students'  spatial visualization skills can be developed. Sorby studied the effect of students taking a 1-credit  spatial skills course, and found multiple benefits: improved performance in introductory

Thereis a strong literature on achievement orientation in higher education, though it typically is notspecific to the engineering context; most studies suggest that students with a high learningorientation are more likely to persist in a difficult context and more likely to take on a task with alower degree of expectancy of success. It also seems that men are more likely to hold highperformance orientations than women [1-4].In the academic orientation literature, achievement orientation is hypothesized to affect howstudents select academic tasks in a rather neutral-of-context process: Students with high

As a result, design self-efficacy is a critical component of asuccessful engineer [1]. Preparing students to become successful engineers, in both industry andacademia, therefore demands that design tasks be taught to a level where students may obtainself-efficacy [2, 3]. The importance of design tasks has also been acknowledged by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
