It also provides a context for studying the environmental impactof a product by considering, for example, the energy and material usage throughout the life cycleof the product. When implemented in an engineering classroom, product archaeology allowsstudents to place themselves in the minds of designers during the time a specific product wasdeveloped to try to re-create the global and local conditions that led to its development.2 Paradigm DevelopmentIn order to further develop the archaeological analogy, we consider the four primary phases andtheir relevance in product design. The site preparation phase of archaeology corresponds tobackground research that

In the LTS programs we are familiar with there are alwaystrade-offs and compromises that must be made. The dimensions in the model are meant to Page 25.72.14identify the major causes of the resource implications (i.e. number of students involved, locationof the projects, etc.) so that a discussion can take place around balancing of resources witheducational learning outcomes and student experience in mind.

Formany teachers, the experience was beneficial for the connection to othertechnology/engineering-minded teachers, the resulting implementation plans, and therelevancy of professional development. Each teacher developed an action plan toimplement in their course when they go back to their schools in the following school year.In addition to the two-week workshop, teachers were required to attend two callbacksessions to share experiences, both successes and challenges that they had faced duringimplementation.3 PurposeOur purpose in this study is to examine the impact of the CAPSULE PD within theconfines of STEM high school classrooms.

The results of thisstudy showed that over the course of the semester, students felt they could create a moreinclusive and understanding culture when working on a diverse team of engineers. With the useof the included activities to encourage and intentionally place students of diverse backgrounds onteams, this research team was able to help students identify how to promote a healthy culturewithin a team.In conclusion, there are feasible paths to implement

promote the development ofcreativity skill in their students. Traditional engineering curricula is focused mostly in technicaldevelopment; 13 this practice has shown a decreasing level of creativity in students rather thanincrease while they are moving forward in their career. The teaching of idea generation(ideation) methods could enhance the student’s designer creative capacity; this has been shownby multiple research studies14,15,12 . Learning about ideation methods can tackle creativedeficiencies. Although various Ideation Methods exist (e.g. brainstorming, mind-mapping,synectics, lateral thinking or morphological analysis16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 ), engineering educationinstitutions as well as industry tend to prefer quick and simple methods
