relevant to teaching design in all engineeringdisciplines. Clearly, the divergent inquiry in design thinking is neither recognized nor includedin most engineering curricula. I think the time is right to introduce the iterative divergent-convergent process(s) in order to develop better pedagogical approaches to engineering design.Focusing on Design-Related Education: Recently, designers, throughout the world, havehelped develop an increasingly complex “built” environment that includes some major large-scale engineering projects. Simultaneously, designers have been pushing the envelope atrelatively fast rate making products, systems and engineering projects increasingly morecomplicated as they strive to improve reliability and increase service-life
study is certainly generalizable to studies of identity in engineering andmathematics and science education. The authors propose social entrepreneurship identity can befacilitated by educators through defining the social category group in which the individual willidentify, exposure to prototypical members and member characteristics, and active engagementin the social category particularly through group projects. Similarly, Mead formulated that“society shapes self shapes social behavior.”13 These social behaviors were later taken up byStryker and redefined as role choice behavior.16; 17 While Stryker explores external structures,Burke explored internal mechanisms aligned with more modern cognitive theories of identitydevelopment, namely the

That isto say, there is no one size fit all game. For example, one semester I built many different word-based puzzles for my MATLAB course, which were popular among students and faculty in theBioengineering department. The next semester I tried to implement the same manner of puzzlesin a higher level Probability course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEG)department, and was addressed by some of my students asking if the word puzzles weremandatory because they were tedious. Confused, I realized that my word puzzles were notaccessible for international students or those with

In other colleges, the standalone courses reside in thecollege of engineering itself with a prominent example being at the University of Wisconsin–Madison [2].
