a key source of successfulinnovations; thus, techniques to support creative conceptual design are imperative in engineeringeducation. However, teaching students to “think innovatively” has been difficult becauseeducators lack effective instructional methods. While there are a variety of proposed methods foridea generation, only one has been empirically validated in multiple scientific studies: DesignHeuristics. Design Heuristics are prompts that guide designers in exploring the design spaceduring concept generation. In empirical studies in engineering and design classrooms, DesignHeuristics have been shown to be readily adopted by students, and to result in more creative, andmore diverse, concepts.The focus of this project is to create a

In 2009 the ATE started a project to study and improve the dissemination ofcreated educational content. The project was named Synergy and Nano-Link along with eleven otherATE Centers participated in the Synergy project.The project required each participating center to select one aspect of their dissemination activity with theintent of evaluating, dissecting, improving and measuring that particular dissemination activity.

However,participation in makerspaces is not necessarily equal across all student groups, with the potentialfor white, man-dominated cultures of engineering to be replicated in makerspaces, preventingstudents from marginalized groups from feeling welcome or participating. Earningmicrocredentials and digital badges in makerspaces has the potential to encourage participationand provide a means for recognition.

The goal of this project is todevelop a mechanical engineering program where students and faculty are immersed in a cultureof doing engineering with practicing engineers that in turn fosters an identity of being anengineer. This culture of “Engineering with Engineers” is created through changes in four areas:shared vision, reflective faculty, relevant curriculum and pedagogy, and supportive policies. Ineach, a variety of actions create the cultural change, address barriers to change, and ensuresustainability. A common theme unifying these changes is a significant connection to
