MaterialsIntroductionThe work reported in this paper begins with the end of a previous research project. Our earlierwork investigated student understanding of mechanics of materials1–3. After describing howstudents understand this topic, we wanted to move on to developing course materials to helpbuild on students’ existing understanding and address misconceptions. This is not an unusualprogression, and, indeed, our initial research in this area showed us that most course materialsthat are developed from research never achieve broad adoption4. Many engineering educatorsdevelop their own materials, duplicating researchers’ efforts and potentially denying students thebenefit of research-based materials with proven effectiveness. The lack of adoption is a
is a multidisciplinary design intensive vertical curriculumsupported at the 200-level, 300-level, and capstone levels by three newly developed coursesfocused on engineering design. Grounded in human-centered design and design thinking, thesecourses will focus on developing the skills necessary to understand users’ experiences andidentify and develop appropriate solutions for design problems. The addition of these threedesign courses, along with engineering design activities in our established First-YearEngineering program, introduces a “design spine” in the curriculum that emphasizes problem-based learning across all four years of the engineering degree program. While this curriculumsupports contemporary students’ desire for flexibility and

The implication is therefore, that lifelong learning and a global perspectivemust originate within the 4-year engineering curriculum/program. The

. IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10]. Engagement in these skills, which we collectively call “comprehensive engineeringknowledge and skills”, are

an engineering student, inpart due to the perceived widening of cultural differences. She felt as if she had two losingchoices – to come out to her engineering peers, or to remain closeted: The fact of the matter is that I was not willing to live another year closeted but I didn’t have the ability to live as a woman yet. This meant that I would have to come out to my project group without actually living it. Given what I’ve already seen of the culture of the students in the college of engineering, I was legitimately concerned that I would be able to complete capstone without making enemies of my own group. I was scared. I was feeling physically ill at the thought of taking capstone. (Document 4, paragraph 9)Naya

Finally, at the end ofa quarter that included the above tasks plus tasks to consider additional design issues such ascontext and perspective, students were asked to create a “memory aid” to capture importantaspects of the design process that they wish to take with them to their future design experiences.In this paper, we present the work that the students turned in for the design projects. We alsopresent a mapping of the students’ work to the elements of the design process presented to themin the design timelines to provide insights on the impact of the use of the timelines to teachdesign.Introduction*Extensive research in the

“effort to understand the way they [people] do thingsand why, their physical and emotional needs, how they think about [the] world, and what ismeaningful to them.” Other scholars have offered principles or beliefs to guide an empathicdesign methodology [7,9], wherein the principles span the entirety of the design process. Indeed,while Empathize is the first aspect of the d.School model, the team emphasizes an iterative andnon-linear design process, highlighting the role of empathy throughout one’s design process.In the context of engineering, the ways in which empathy manifests within design may varybased on the goals of a design project or the phase of the design process.

], faculty development [17],and e-learning [18].While there are many pedagogical approaches to promote EM, Active Learning Pedagogies(ALP) are extensively cited as an effective approach [9], [10], [18], [19]. ALPs are defined bymethods of learning in which the student is experientially involved in the learning process andinclude practices such as problem-based, discovery-based, inquiry-based, and project-basedlearning. In addition to supporting EM, empirical evidence reinforces the value of implementingactive-learning pedagogies (ALPs) in STEM classrooms – from the positive impacts on studentlearning and performance to the reduction of achievement gaps in underrepresented groups [20].ALPs have been linked to improved self-efficacy and the
