Empirical evidence of what design andengineering thinking looks like and how it changes over time, and how students conceptualizedesign and engineering, comes from two participant groups: (1) a spread of undergraduateengineering students across fields of engineering, and (2) a homogeneous group of MechanicalEngineering graduate students in a project-based learning course in design and innovation forMaster’s students

Prior research on student understanding and use ofstakeholder interaction during the design process has found that students do not always interactwith stakeholders successfully (as outlined in the design practice literature).19–21 Some of thedifficulties student encounter when attempting to interact with stakeholders causes them toneglect or dismiss stakeholder interaction during design.20,22 Thus, more research is needed todevelop pedagogy for teaching these complex processes.This study sought
