encourage engineering mindset development.Innovation or creativity is of paramount importance in the development of an engineeringmindset. Recent fMRI data showed that creativity is supported by three brain networks whichare normally not activated simultaneously4-6. The three orthogonal-like brain networks are thedefault network for mind wandering with episodic memory, executive control network for taskexecution, and salience network for deciding when to switch between default and executivenetworks 7. Another recent fMRI finding showed that physics learning would involve episodicmemory and be a good platform to study student learning effectiveness due to the fact thatphysics contains daily life experiential examples and also is based on laws8, 9

design decisions. Design opportunities exist within every phase, not just the schematicdesign and design development phases as many believe. Just as the engineer cycles throughdesign, build, and test, the architect cycles through design, draw/model and presentation, andduring each cycle the design should be reviewed, critiqued and improved.An awareness of what occurs and why during the project development process can providestudents with a better understanding of the impact the process has on the final project design.The key to a successful project lies not with the initial concept but with the designer’s ability tomanage the design process.The Architectural Design ProcessMany are familiar with the “typical” architectural design process: the

Energy is one of the mostpredominant elements of modern human societies and their survival in a healthy political,economic, and social environment. Hence, the main teaching goal of ENGR 101 is topromote student participation in every aspect of the course activities, ranging from the in-class discussions to the design of the course projects. With this goal in mind, peerteachers, graduate students, engineering faculty, and learning scientists systematicallyworked together over the academic semester which was the focus of this research toemphasize a learner-centered instructional design in teaching the ENGR 101 course

sense of belonging at the engineering college and provides a platformwhere students can communicate their identity, or express themselves as engineers, to a body oflike-minded peers.Next, receiving mentorship is thought to help keep students engaged with their community andpushes them to realize best practices for success. In this interaction, it is believed that first yearstudents begin to form a stronger sense of being an engineering or STEM major, and this identityis co-constructed with their mentor. Then, the transition to becoming a mentor in theirsophomore year acts like a promotion where these students provide help rather than receive it.This transition is thought to also help mentors maintain best practices because they are facedwith
