) and then narrows the choices down by factors such as productioncost or reliability (convergent thinking). The concept of design thinking has been studied sincethe 1970’s [1] and its teaching methods and central characteristics are quite well known [4]–[6].2.2 Design MethodsDesign thinking is a type of cognition, but it also describes the process of design, otherwiseknown as a method. In many cases the method is simply the journey the designer takesthroughout the course of design project, though some have modeled the process visually. TimBrown, Stanford, SAP and a few others’ design thinking models were compared in a paper byEfeoglu, Moller, Serie, and Boer [3]. Each model they analyzed showed human values at thecore of the process which was

cancapitalize on students’ affinity for curiosity. First, recognizing that students are motivated andinterested when they are curious provides impetus to design projects and lessons to start withquestions or require students to ask questions about the topic through the Question FormulationTechnique [14]. In addition, our results showed that students often link Curiosity with the type oflearner they are, with doing hands on work, and trying new things. These relationships alsoprovide opportunities for project design. In the program at Rowan University we make aconcerted effort to engage these pieces of students’ curiosity through the projects in our first-yearengineering course. For example, we have a project during which students design and producetoys

These occupations are projected to add about 557,100 new jobs2.

Additionally, faculty werenot included in any project-specific team meetings and communication between the leadershipteam and faculty about this project was limited. Some faculty perceived that the leadership teamwas taking credit for their work in incorporating social content into engineering courses, whichwas exacerbated by the feeling of not being included. For example, one faculty stated, “So, I dofeel like we are a very, I can’t think of a better word, we were integrated with the [project] but atthe same time like it’s not ours.”(2) Simply hosting workshops was
