Students are expected to have developed arigorous understanding of electrical circuits, semiconductor physics, signal processing, controltheory, digital logic, and wave mathematics before being introduced to power electronics.Students at our institution are introduced to fundamental concepts in lectures then they put theminto practice in hands-on labs, which are limited to three-hour-long experiments conducted in astrictly controlled environment due to safety concerns. This leaves little room for exploration andindependent trial-and-error. We have developed LabSim, an out-of-the-box functional softwareimplementation of the switch-mode

experiential learning could result in greater immediate changes, but not sustainedones.Third, we found that not all courses were effective in moving students to a place where theyrecognized CSR as a sociotechnical practice. Students in the social science course tended toprioritize community training as an example of excellent CSR, while many of the engineeringcourses prioritized local hiring. Neither of those areas of practice necessarily involves changingbusiness activities to become more responsive to stakeholders, and each of those areas ofpractice tends to focus on either the social or technical extremes of CSR practice rather thanclearly integrating the two. Educators in all disciplines need to continue countering this dualism,and towards

Next, there are no standardized teaching methodologiesor techniques available to teach creativity within the engineering leadership curriculum, despite awealth of general creativity techniques focused on specific creative activities, such as ideageneration. And finally, there has been little acknowledgement or push from either the professionalinstitutions or industries of the role of creativity in leadership development for engineers; withoutthis external recognition of its importance, it will be more difficult to persuade academicinstitutions to invest in creativity instruction within their engineering curricula.Exploratory

As a result ofthe strong connection between these two types of thinking, and the prevalence of CT andprogramming in engineering in professional practice, we believe that exploring CT is animportant aspect of learning about children’s engineering learning.Purpose of the studyThis study is part of an NSF-funded project that integrates computational thinking in STEMactivities and curriculums both in formal and informal settings.

nature, engineering and teaching both require problem solving, and integrating the topicsand practice of engineering research with the extant curriculum in a STEM classroom also requirescreativity and innovation. One explanation for the benefit of cognitively-diverse teams oncomplex, creative tasks is the cognitive diversity hypothesis [13,18,19]. The cognitive diversityhypothesis posits that dissimilarity in team makeup (with regard to task-related attributes)discourages groupthink and encourages positive member disagreement, debate, and discussion, aswell as introducing differing attitudes, perspectives, and knowledge structures [18-23]. Similarly,the information processing perspective provides an additional framework to explain
