Both concepts havebeen determined to be important for persistence among engineering student populations. Ahandful of qualitative studies have indicated that both engineering self-efficacy and identity areassociated with greater engineering workforce persistence [61], [64].Interest in engineering is a personal factor that can be more complicated than it might seem. Itseems quite expected that some people’s interests change over time and this might lead, quiterightly, to a career change, whether early or later in the career pathway. Some women neverwork in engineering after earning their degree; in one study 30% of these

This skill has beentied to success in many careers, yet this skill is undertaught or not typically taught in most K-12and engineering curricula. A seminal study by Sorby [1] showed that SV skills can be taught andcan result in a significant increase in GPAs and graduation rates. 7000 students were tracked forover 15 years showing similar results [2]. The increase in graduation rates is especiallysignificant for women and other underrepresented minorities in STEM [3], who may have hadless experience

FGC students often have less knowledge ofuniversity resources [15], and fewer mentors [22]. The lack of mentoring is a predictor of URMstudents’ decision not to pursue graduate work in STEM [23]. For students with the navigationaland academic capital that enables them to apply for these opportunities, the benefits multiply.From knowing to reach out and how to reach out, they develop relationships with faculty thatlead to letters of recommendation, referrals, or industry contacts.

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.

It also poses a challenge for faculty trying toconvey dense, text-heavy technical information using either the conventional chalkboard orpresentation software. It is easy for the underlying beauty of the concepts to stay hidden underthe jargon-filled landscape. Notes written on the whiteboard or chalkboard by faculty focus onconveying technical content to students, and these may make only limited used of graphicaldesign ideas that can be leveraged for communicating information more effectively.
