“machines” generally to describe all of the things that engineers build, including infrastructural,informational, molecular, mechanical and biological constructs. What are the new machines?Simply put, these are the things that we must prepare our graduating students to build in themiddle of their careers, 20 to 30 years from now, to address societal needs. Here is an example ofwhat we have termed as “old machine” and “new machine”.The airplane on the left is a 1950’s era Boeing 707; it is designed based on aerodynamics. Theflying machine on the right is NASA’s X-57 Maxwell, an aircraft that looks like the one on theleft but is being developed based on electric propulsion using lithium-ion batteries; they estimatethat it will reduce fuel use by a

education as an enterprise continually struggleswith the challenges of connecting research like that done by members of ASEE with theeveryday work experiences. A familiar set of questions arise from this situation. Researchers say,“Why don’t educators use the strategies we know to increase student learning? Why don’teducators seem to be interested in what we have to contribute to their classrooms? Practitionerssay, “Why don’t researchers provide information in a usable way? How do I translate theirresearch to my institutional setting?” As professionals, we recognize that our work is negativelyimpacted by the lack of connection and communication between these two “worlds.” Closing thegaps in the research to practice and the practice to research

As part of a National Science Foundation -funded project, our engineering program is exploring ways for engineering educators to do thiswithin required engineering courses. In this paper, we present an example of how content relatedto sociotechnical and global context was integrated into a required senior-level Heat Transfercourse in mechanical engineering.

There have even been formalproposals for curricular goals and assessment measures for design-based curricula. Thisargument is driven by a widespread notion that the intellectual content of design is consistentlyunderestimated (1).This paper reviews research on design thinking as it relates to how designers think, learn andmake decisions, which is an important reason why design is not easy to teach.
