Design in Engineering Education
engineering students communicate better,become more ethical, and see the task of engineering in a larger cultural context. This is as itshould be, but is it possible that the field of design engineering might lend insight and wisdomback to the humanities? If engineering design principles are so helpful in unraveling themysteries of biology, might they also be useful in the social sciences? These are just some of thequestions being posed in an engineering elective course at Oral Roberts University (ORU),where undergraduate students wrestle with advanced concepts in reverse engineering. A recentarticle in ASEE Prism1 touts the benefits of having engineering students engage in the dissection

That study adopted aninteractionist approach, which holds that both individuals and contextual factors influence thetransition process [13, 14, 15]. In this paper, we draw on Bourdieu’s concept of capital. Capital isany resource effective in a given social field which individuals inherit within or beyond the family,accumulate over time, and use to reap social rewards and maintain social class privileges [7, 16].Bourdieu differentiated between

support students to understand thenature of engineering and engineering thinking (Moore et al., 2014). For example, teachers canmake explicit connections to the engineering profession to help students see themselves asengineers (Capobianco et al., 2011) and also help students develop more accurate conceptions ofengineering (Ganesh & Schnittka, 2014). Teachers can help students situate specific activities ortasks within the larger context of the project or the engineering endeavor. This kind of epistemicsupport can influence students’ views of who can be engineers (Pantoya, Aguirre-Munoz, &Hunt, 2015), potentially lead to improved learning outcomes (Lindsay et al., 2008), and helpstudents persist in engineering courses (Arastoopour et al

Engineering instructors have been reforming curricula and/or using aspects of CRP indesign problems to encourage inquiry-based thinking. For instance, Castaneda (2019) exploredhow steps could be taken to implement critical consciousness into a broader engineeringcurriculum through a sophomore statics and dynamics course instead of an isolated concept in anupper-level seminar (Castaneda, 2019).
