thewanted workforce changes, as well as the belief of our Ministry of Education on how to teach andlearn the best way are all together in a continuing development. These are some of the basic reasonswhy it is natural to work for resources that can stimulate a constant pedagogical development. Butthere is more to it.Do all the engineering lecturers pay an interest in their pedagogical competencies? · Still some engineering teaching staff thinks that the ability to teach is, or is not, in our genes. In other words, pedagogical development of the staff is not at all necessary – or at least is not necessary enough to be taken seriously. There are more reasons why the lecturers are not open-minded towards methodological changes in

As a result, elementary teachersmight then be better equipped to build students’ engineering identity and encourage them toconsider engineering as a potential career option.In addition to helping students develop engineering identities, exposure to engineering inelementary school is also beneficial for developing students’ engineering habits of mind(EHoM). EHoM are internalized dispositions and ways of thinking that engineers draw uponwhen confronted with problems [4] and include things such as optimism, persistence,collaboration, creativity, systems thinking, and attention to ethical considerations [5]. TheseEHoM can be beneficial to all students, regardless of career choice, but as with all habits,EHoM take time to develop. As

Using a case study approach to theory building wecollected artifacts from a pre-service teachers in a second level Engineering Design Thinkingcourse. The students produced artifacts in the form of conceptual models, graphical models,mathematical models and finally working models. Student-generated mind maps, designjournals, final design products and their accompanying documentation, and peer checkingprocedures were also collected and triangulated with the modeling artifacts for the purpose ofthis study.

They offer this rationale for this philosophy: For example, this work posits that that [sic] a primary goal of pre-college engineering education is for students to develop a command of the engineering design process and engineering habits of mind and that traditional math and science content goals are secondary to this in an engineering class. This is an important commitment. […] Our contention is that they cannot be a side-note in traditional math and science

This enables them to pose and evaluate questions of future impacts inthe consideration of a diversity of needs. Furthermore, this paper theorizes that understanding theinterconnections among nature, empathy, ethics, reason, imagination, design, and technology inbeing human leads to the development of a holistic engineering approach and holistic designthinking practice. Such an approach should be flexible and mindful enough to adapt to manyproblems. The pivotal role of flexible thinking modes, particularly emphasizing visual, critical,causal, associative, and
