the Pareto front are thenpresented to the human designer, who must then evaluate both the AI-generated designs and thehuman set objective space/rule sets that led to their generation [3]. Further iteration may then occuras the designer chooses one or more AI designs to optimize or returns to a previous task in thedesign process. Iteration offers the designer a deeper understanding of the design and solutionspaces, which may guide further design behavior [5].Generative systems have only begun to receive significant academic attention in the previous twodecades [4]. Thus, GD methodologies are relatively new in engineering contexts. The approachand technologies underlying GD have evolved from previous design methods, most notably thosedeveloped

practicemethods of dissemination of the MHOS pedagogy to the entire STEM community have not yetbeen identified.Mobile hands-on pedagogy in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is arelatively recent innovation in the teaching of electrical engineering. Three of the universitiesthat have been involved in the development of this pedagogical approach for the past decade areRensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Virginia Tech (VT), and Georgia Institute of Technology(Georgia Tech) [1-18]. Colleagues at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT), HowardUniversity (HU), Morgan State University (MSU), and Virginia Western Community College(VWCC) were early adopters and have contributed significantly to the refinement of theapproach [19-24

In thisprocess, the public becomes a rhetorical, as opposed to an empirical, space that reinforces theengineering profession’s service ideal and legitimizes engineers’ work as promoting the socialgood, regardless of how diverse publics articulate their own visions, define their own needs, andenvision the role of technological applications in their own lives.
