An 18-item, 5-point Likertscale survey was developed, whereby three items were associated with the six dimensions ofCCW. Within each dimension, an item was developed to indicate a respondent’s “having orholding” of that specific CCW dimension. A second item was developed to indicate arespondent’s “development” toward that specific CCW dimension. Those items were categorizedas “Positive” and “Positive-Developing

TheCornerstone course was carefully designed to help first-year students achieve success in theprogram and develop the necessary technical and professional competencies regardless of thespecific engineering major they select in their second year [3]. There is a strong emphasis onapplying technical knowledge in a practical way, developing analytical problem-solving anddecision-making skills, and demonstrating resourcefulness. As a result, students tend to be morevested in the learning process, appreciate what they have learned, remain

around creating a more inventive workforce and how to teachinventive skills and mindsets [3]. Inventiveness transcends pure STEM or engineering, and it isnot just strictly about patenting inventions, either. Inventiveness is what enables us to look atsomething in a different way, to apply analogies from other disciplines to new problems,sometimes it is simply about finding a quick solution to a challenge, with or without formalSTEM or engineering content knowledge. Focusing purely on the analytical aspects of STEMwithout highlighting the inventive aspects, combined with a lack of inclusive culture, hascontributed to slow progress with respect to diversity in STEM education and workforce [4].Inventive habits and mindsets can be taught, practiced

Therobotic version was started as a regular section of the course in the fall of 2014, and is to becontinued into 2015. Transition from pilot to regular course is often challenging. For this courseit required transferring cost responsibility from the university to students, changes made to thecourse offering, and technical alterations to the class. Unexpected issues arose such as lowerthan desired enrollment in the first semester and higher than expected student costs. The longterm efficacy of the course is explored through examining how students who took the courseduring its pilot phase fared in later courses that build upon its learning

The material stores,themselves, have small built-in time delays in their operation (see: Appendix D) that result in studentqueuing. The design of the “9-legged helper robot” is technically trivial (it is composed of smallfoam blocks, toothpicks, and stickers), yet it is laborious to assemble, with a specific pattern oftoothpicks required at internal connection points (Figure 1); moreover, there are four of them tobuild. All of these time demands are meant to instill pressure upon the teams to make decisions aboutresource acquisitions quickly; they are meant to mimic real

This results in a spider graph thatcompares current capabilities (Step/color 1) with project demands (Step/color 2), as illustrated inFig. 3. Finally, participants reflect on three areas where they feel particular roles are needed fortheir project, two that they did not already feel strong in and would like to grow, and one thatthey did not prefer to embody for their project and would like to delegate (Step 3).

This epistemology calls for incorporating qualitativemethods aimed at understanding the complexities of human experience in addition to moretraditional quantitative metrics. For example, in their case study of ontology engineering, Kotisand Vouros argue that human-centered engineering requires knowledge frameworks thatprioritize empathy, inclusivity, and collaboration across disciplines to create meaningfulsolutions [3].HCE's epistemological approach bridges the gap between technical problem-solving andhuman-centered perspectives by prioritizing methods that capture human experiences and socialcontexts. Empathic communication becomes essential for engineers to better understand theemotions, needs, and behaviors

education.4.1 Community BuildingWith existing LTS-involved faculty scattered across many institutions, often championing LTSin isolation, a formal LTS faculty community is long overdue. ASEE has recently approved aService in Engineering Education (SEE) Constituent Committee, the first step in progressing to aformal Division. This Division will provide a venue for faculty from many disciplines to learnfrom one another in focused sessions of mutual interest, rather than being lost amongst manyDivisions, often as add-ons to potpourri sessions. Because of this momentum, it is anticipatedthat an SEE Division will be in place within ASEE by Year 3 of this grant. This face-to-faceopportunity will catalyze further development of LTS efforts in engineering
across both years.The integration of design justice principles through revised PDS not only enhanced students'ability to address social and ethical considerations but also strengthened their entrepreneurialmindset (EM). By encouraging students to think critically about their stakeholders and theconstraints of their designs, they were able to apply the KEEN 3 C's—curiosity, connection, andcreating value—within a justice-oriented framework. Students developed a deeper understandingof how to be curious about the lives of others, connect the technical aspects of design to socialconstraints, and ultimately create better designs with greater value.Overall, the integration of design justice principles had a positive impact on students’ designwork
