PD to both teach and encourage students to appreciate, understand, and perhaps,identify with engineering.To empower elementary school teachers for a strong and diverse future energy engineeringworkforce in Montana, we aimed to recruit pre- and in-service elementary teachers (grades K-5)from Montana’s rural and reservation communities to participate in an NSF RET Site housedwithin the Montana Engineering Education Research Center (MEERC) at Montana StateUniversity (MSU) in Bozeman, MT. The MEERC RET Site leveraged both existing and newpartnerships formed throughout the three-year project to provide teachers with researchexperiences in the wide array of energy-related research at MSU. Through this experience,teachers created culturally

importance ofGD to future industry practices is not yet reflected in the curricula being taught to the nextgeneration of engineers. Thus, the motivation of our multi-institutional project is to define anddisseminate Generative Design Thinking in three research gaps: design thinking and designcognition to explore high/low-level cognitive behavior during GD, design education to createand test materials to teach GD, and developing GD tools and methods.Design Thinking and Design CognitionThe first areas that our research addresses are to explore design thinking and design cognitionrelevant to GD. First, we devise and present the Paradigmatic Design Thinking Model whichnovelly defines design thinking as being situated within three factors, each with a

Accordingly, course development,implementation, maintenance, and modification have continuously been conducted with aprimary objective to provide support and context for the aforementioned requisite gatewaycourses and to provide more substantial engineering-related experiences [10]. Use of thesestrategies has been shown to improve retention of students in engineering fields [25], and ENGR111 employs such methodology. ENGR 111 also employs various forms of active learning,including collaborative, cooperative, problem-based, project-based, and discovery-basedlearning.

1.Decades of research support educational practices that show promise toward bridging this gap.For example, perceptions of the relative importance of technical and professional skills from firstyear to senior year can be influenced by experiences in co-ops, internships, project-basedlearning activities and participation in engineering extracurricular activities [7]. Guidance forinstructors and program leaders also spring from program outcomes (e.g., ABET) such as Patrickand colleagues’ [8] set of specific elements of engineering practice. Thus, the responsibility fordeveloping accurate perceptions of the engineering profession begins with engineering educationprograms, then transfers to students as they pursue opportunities for authentic
