Each of these themes is an aspect of how the participants have constructed theirunderstanding of and managing uncertainty in design.Theme 1: Managing uncertainty can be learned, but none learned to do so in schoolA common conclusion from the participants is that the ability to manage uncertainty in designcan be learned. This was most succinctly stated by Stephen who responded to a question aboutwhether he approaches projects the same way at the beginning of his career versus where he wasnow by simply stating “No. Again it’s a learned experience.” The participants explained thatthere were five main

With the paper-binder format, we would return it to thestudents after final grading but many students actually never pick up their binders, which wouldbe sent to recycling after several months as we do not have storage space for them.ConclusionWe are looking for ways to make engineering documentation process less of a chore, and moreengaging and rewarding for students.

Consequently in these settings, only asurface level understanding of their value is realized [2]. Many engineering students do not know how toapproach large complex systems due to their exposure to idealistic examples [3]. Additionally, they notcapable of providing critical multi-disciplinary integration of their designs due to the isolated nature oftopics in the classroom [4] [5].

By takinga contextual constructivist view, individuals carefully go through factors and examine relatedinformation in decision-making processes.

Through a series of ideation exercises anddiscussions, the group examined the challenges student veterans traditionally face, on-goingsupport initiatives at their home institutions, and recommended actions for ASEE to pursue in theyears ahead. The topics discussed during the panel are related to previous research about thechallenges faced by veteran students beyond ETETE career paths.

Due to its importance, 32 states have made it a requirement for high schoolgraduation 1 ; the remaining states define the amount of math credits required to graduate, but donot specify which courses must be taken. Despite its importance and requirement by most states,students are not excelling in this area.

As stated by Feisel and Rosa[4], a typical goal of a laboratory course is to relate theory and practice. They also mention theadded benefit of students interacting with physical systems, which can be useful in a successfulengineering career where the theory must be applied.

Latinx students, engineering educators have a unique opportunity toapply their engineering design expertise to innovate the educational experience of their students. InDesign Thinking, one key feature is the emphasis on user engagement and developing a deepunderstanding of a user’s needs, environment, and assets [7]. Educators, as educational designers, shouldfirst seek to understand the unique characteristics of the students in their programs. This process ofdeveloping a deeper understanding of one’s students can result in educational experiences that supportstudent learning by meeting students where they are [8] and connecting to themes, ideas, and topics thatare relevant to the student and their desired career trajectory [9].While the
