Another educatorexperienced similar pushback and stated, “once in a while, a student will raise kind of anobjection on principle that this is not engineering, ‘I’m in engineering, this is notengineering stuff that we’re doing’”. This perception is not unique to students, anotherinterviewee explained as the only educator in the department integrating ESI intoengineering classes, “it ends up being stigmatized… the person that ends up doing it, at leastin my case, ends up getting labeled not a real engineer.” To shift the

valuable experience;however, receiving guidance and feedback on team interactions are uncommon even though theycan significantly enhance team behaviors [2]. Additionally, design courses tend to focus on thetechnical skills needed for projects work, and rarely are students taught how to work in teams [3].Designing teamwork exercises and dedicating class time for students to practice these skills,while important, often detracts from the content specific to their disciplines [4]. Hence, there is aneed for educators to employ an easy method that allows students to practice the development ofinterpersonal or “soft” skills early on in their academic career to ensure that they are well-equipped by the time they enroll in design or capstone courses.The

What-if questions at each stage of the design process should prompt studentsto reflect. This would be appropriate as part of a cornerstone or capstone design project. Theproposed questions could be tailored to specific student projects.In your design project journal, address the following questions: 1.

In this logic, students spend the majority of their time learning a longsequence of engineering “fundamentals” before they are deemed competent to engage in creativedesign problem solving in their final-year capstone projects.3 This approach is understood as“exclusionary” not in the sense of being elitist but in the more general sense of seeking to keepout that which does not belong, including those persons (or those facets of persons) not in linewith the dominant decontextualized, narrowly technical-analytic way of problem solving withinengineering.

Despite the fact that engineering and scientific knowledge has grown at an astonishing rate overthe past century, engineering still only nominally requires 4 years of training (i.e., a bachelor’s degree) tobe able to enter and operate in the engineering workforce. For comparison, the number of years oftraining needed to practice law has increased from 4 to 7 and to practice medicine has increased from 3 to10 over the same time period. Given the breadth and depth of the technical knowledge students need tomaster, there are very few opportunities to incorporate additional non-technical material into mosttechnical courses, especially the engineering
