For previous ECE students their first exposure to manydesign concepts and tools was during their senior year course. Building key design skills andconceptual understanding via exposure to multiple small, open-ended projects that increase incomplexity through the semester during their junior spring semester will enable students to entertheir capstone course the following year in a higher state of readiness. The course providesexposure to multiple design processes prevalent in academe and industry and encouragesstudents to internalize the key steps common to nearly all

Conceptual Site ModelsAbstractIn environmental engineering site remediation projects, community perception of environmentaland health risks can influence a project’s scope and design. Therefore, community engagement iscritical to shaping an engineer’s definition of an environmental problem. However, lower-levelundergraduate engineering curricula rarely address the incorporation of community input intoenvironmental engineering problem definition, as environmental engineering coursework tendsto utilize pre-defined problems to develop and assess technical knowledge and skills. Upper-level courses that do include community participation in environmental engineering design tendto be reflective, having students evaluate the social impact of a pre-defined

As Slaton and Pawley (2018) note, all ofthe features of a research design must be actively chosen and each of these choices has hugeepistemic and political consequences. Unfortunately, the process of aligning these components iscomplex and enigmatic, as researchers often fail to adequately document the details of theirdecision making process for others to learn from. They are seldom incentivized to do so.Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to divulge the complexities embedded within ourresearch team’s process of designing a qualitative study focused on understanding
