We believe that these findings will potentially motivate the engineeringeducation community to actively implement asset-based approaches in design instruction, andfurther develop and test more nuanced strategies that draw upon students’ funds of knowledgeand cultural wealth.IntroductionEngineering design is typically recognized and taught as a team activity, with cornerstone andcapstone project-based courses requiring students to work on teams and to navigate

These authorsexplain that capstone design courses are commonly used to demonstrate the achievement ofprescribed engineering competencies. The development of cornerstone (or introductory) designcourses was prompted by desires to connect new students to the engineering profession in anengaging and meaningful fashion. The value of introducing design thinking and applying project-based learning is emphasized as means to acquire design skills. The Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) process is suggested as a means to infuse design throughout thecurriculum.Design thinking is characterized as the designer’s ability to tolerate ambiguity, addressuncertainty, iterate, maintain a systems perspective, work in a team, make decisions, andcommunicate

To illustrate, sometimes an idea stews for a good while in the form of an initial concepton which a team of colleagues continues to ponder and explore a direction for a particular topic andthe viability of the project. Conversations through collaborative interaction, among team members,are critical in bringing the most effective articulation of proposal pieces, and the multitude of pointsof views, from a collaborating team, enable a powerful array of avenues in building to the mostcompetitive proposal: in short, a group genius approach is far more productive than a solo centeredmodel.
