,analyses of award winning products, and a case study of a long-term design project, DesignHeuristics capture the cognitive “rules of thumb” used by designers to intentionally vary their setof candidate designs[23]. These strategies appear to be ones that expert designers employautomatically, without consciously deciding to do so[24]. The heuristics were individuallyextracted across multiple concepts from multiple designers to reflect a useful level of abstractionin describing how to alter design characteristics to create new ones[25]. The resulting set of DesignHeuristics capture 77 different strategies, each of which can be applied independently or in tocreate new designs[26].The set of Design Heuristics is packaged as an instructional tool for

Thesteady rise starting around 1980 coincides with the time that personal computers became bothpopular and affordable; for example the IBM PC was introduced in 1981. The accessibilityof technology to all age groups has only grown since then (Mawson, 2007). The 1980’s wasalso the decade technological literacy began to come under increasing consideration in highereducation by policy makers (The Committee to Idenfity Critical Issues in Federal Support forScience and Technology, 1986), foundations such as Sloan (Florman, 1987), and the AAASthrough Project 2061 (Rutherford, 1989).The 1990’s saw increasing interest in technological literacy at the policy level (The Board forEngineering Education

They often struggled and felt powerless when working on a culturally diverse team.This was even more evident for international women faculty. After participating in a cross-cultural training, faculty members reported that the main necessary changes in behavior observedwere self-confidence and assertiveness. Therefore, the participants’ responses were examinedfurther to gain more detail about how cross-cultural training plays a valuable role in changing afaculty member’s behavior

important factor in persistence to degree completion. For example, somestudies report that the diversity gap in STEM participation may be attributed more to perceptionsand beliefs than to academic preparation or achievement levels [1-5]. To the extent that suchperceptions and beliefs form an inaccurate (or “negative”) vision of a future engineering career,curricular approaches that aim to form a more “positive” vision may be warranted. Theseapproaches can be pedagogical, such as collaborative and project-based learning [6-8], content-based by aiming (for example) to expose the positive contributions of engineering to society [9-12], or both. All other things being equal, curricular features than can foster among students amore positive

While engineering mechanics coursesare not always associated with student team projects, these courses provide the opportunity toshow students how teamwork and diversity are relevant to problem solving. And, as mechanics-oriented courses often dominate the sophomore and junior level of many engineering programs,they can be an important venue for providing continuous instruction to students about workingwith others and in teams.

Although leadership wasthe eighth most frequently cited outcome, it aligned closely with four higher-rated outcomes:teamwork, communication, ethics, and project management.Studies that examine the perceived importance of technical and professional skills among recentengineering graduates produce similar findings to those of Bielefeldt (2018): while graduatesvalue technical skills, they consider some professional skills more important than technical skills.For instance, in his study of

While we know that first-generation college students are more likely to be Latino/aand/or African American [8], [12], [29], and socioeconomic status varies among this population,it was important to consider culture not as a bounded system commensurate with bounded socialgroups, but as a “process of everyday life, in the form of daily activities” [22, p. 237].We used ethnographic and interview data of engineering students, collected during two separateresearch projects, to generate broad themes. Using our two qualitative datasets, we were able togenerate six themes that captured aspects of students’ funds of knowledge.
