Exactly how to achieveprofessionalism in our classes is a provocative discussion, though team projects, settingstandards for work and responsibility for quality and timeliness are part of the written andunwritten syllabus, in hopes to impact exactly these skills.Problem solving is on all lists and continues to be deemed important. It is more important to tiethis to societal context and real world problems, looking at hands-on and service-learning to helppractice this in impactful ways.Creativity!

The QFT’s impact on studentlearning will be described and eminently practical details for integrating the QFT intoengineering coursework will be outlined.1. IntroductionThe Question Formulation Technique (QFT) is a teaching strategy first made widely available tothe field of education in the book Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their OwnQuestions [2]. Since the publication of the book, the strategy has been used across all gradelevels [3]—from pre-k through higher education—and across

BOK states that many of these levels of cognitive achievement can onlybe obtained through the process of undergraduate education, postgraduate education, andexperience [4]. Additionally, the ABET Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, Criterion5 Curriculum, indicates students must build upon their “skills acquired in earlier course work” asthey culminate in a final design experience. In addition, the civil engineering program criteriastates graduates must apply knowledge in a series of progressive subjects [5].

, 2]. Training students to develop design thinking and skills will allow them to enterprofessional practice ready to participate in the challenge of infrastructure re-design. Indeed,ABET requires that students have “an ability to apply engineering design to producesolutions…” upon graduation [3]. Perhaps the most effective way to guide students indeveloping design skills is through engagement in real-world projects. Furthermore, providingauthentic design experiences in a supportive educational environment that encourages successcan build self-efficacy (one’s beliefs in their ability to achieve specific tasks), which in turn fuelsmotivation to succeed as an engineer [4]. Promoting engineering self-efficacy is a promisingstrategy for retaining
