I have termed this belief as “dominant,” not just because two ofthe most influential engineering-related agencies, the National Academy of Engineering (NAE)and the National Science Foundation (NSF), have both claimed that the lack of publicunderstanding of engineering was having a negative effect on the engineering field and society ingeneral. 1 (p. 7) I have termed the

These communities became more common during the expansion of highereducation in the 1950s and 1960s.2 Over the years, several variations of LCs have beenimplemented in universities throughout the United States to improve undergraduate

This paper presents the results from the first two years of the study.IntroductionWhat is engineering design? This seemingly simple but in fact rather complex question has beenasked by many students. Dym and Little define engineering design as a “systematic, intelligentgeneration and evaluation of specifications for artifacts whose form and function achieve statedobjectives and satisfy specified constraints” [1]. Here, artifacts are human-made objects, such asstructures, machines and devices, which have a form (geometry) and function. Further, engineersarticulate, design and

positive view of time.Others who possess a negative view of time do not see the future as a place where things will getbetter. For students with a positive view of time, helping them make connections to the future willassist in their ability to see the value in present tasks. When possessing a negative view of time,students will not connect items to the future, and will often fail to see the value or have decreasedmotivation in the tasks they are currently performing11,17 . When combined, these three dimensions of a student’s future time perspective can be concep-tualized as forming three axes. Referring to Figure 1, a student’s perspective of time rests on thex-axis, and this perspective can range from focused on the past to focused on the
