, requires programs to evaluate students’ “ability to applyengineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs…” (ABET EAC 2019-2020SO 2). This major design experience, typically a senior capstone project, should include theculmination of the foundational materials students learn during their course of study. ABET hasalso defined “engineering design” which includes many concepts of Design Thinking (DT). DTis a multistep process that begins with the formalization of the problem statement and movesthrough implementation of possible solutions with the needs of the end-user in mind. There areseveral ‘flavors’ of design thinking available and we have been following the 5-step designthinking process described by Plattner 2010 where the

The technical goal of the project was toconstruct a gesture-controlled piano that could recognize the distance from an object to the sensorand translate it into musical notes.

However, their perceptions of engineers as persons did not change.Interestingly, the citizen scientists volunteered their own “funds of knowledge” aboutengineering skillsets and “habits of mind” but did not connect their personal traits and skills toengineering or engineers. Since the rainwater harvesting project of the citizen scientists wassimilar to the open-ended, project-based learning experiences of many engineering students, weposit that student perceptions of the engineering process are strongly influenced by project-basedlearning, but the impact on their engineering identity is limited.

As Hopkins et al state, “success in some disciplines [engineering among them]depends on students possessing a cumulative body of knowledge and is thwarted by poorretention of foundational content.”1This cumulative body of knowledge is often described as knowledge structure and there is aproblem: the connections within many students’ mental knowledge structure are weak and,therefore, the structure itself is ineffective. As a structural engineer, the author became concernedwith the integrity of the structures being built in his students’ minds and realized a new designphilosophy was necessary for the courses he taught.The way students organize, or structure, what they learn is critically important.

be argued that they tend to emphasize therole of ethics in the life of the individual engineer rather than the ethical implications ofengineering as a profession, as a force that shapes and affects society. Given the role oftechnology in the modern world, it is crucial to bear in mind Herkert’s distinction between“microethics” and “macroethics.” [3] Macroethics, as Herkert defines it, is the study of the ethicsof the profession of engineering, of engineers as a whole. It seems self-evident that we mustinclude the macroethical view in ethics education, but this view is difficult to emphasize incertain pedagogical modalities. Many ethics pedagogies focus on the role of the individualengineer, particularly case studies that analyze issues such
