Prior research on student understanding and use ofstakeholder interaction during the design process has found that students do not always interactwith stakeholders successfully (as outlined in the design practice literature).19–21 Some of thedifficulties student encounter when attempting to interact with stakeholders causes them toneglect or dismiss stakeholder interaction during design.20,22 Thus, more research is needed todevelop pedagogy for teaching these complex processes.This study sought

Objectives of ProgramThe main objectives of this social engineering graduation program are:• to prepare engineering researchers and professionals in administrative positions who work in areas related to policy to design and implement in national territory socio-economic systems and to develop the integrated theories and methods of these areas;• to increase logical thinking, sense of social ethics, social assessment capability;• to start thinking without any preconceived notions;• to look for innovative problem solving .11. Final DiscussionsDistance learning is not for everyone. It is very difficult to juggle work, family and study. Plentyof self-discipline is necessary. However, the idea to study at

Our transformative mixed-methods project responds to calls for more cross-institutional qualitative and longitudinal studies of minorities in engineering education.
