in the engineering Ph.D. student research experiences that are“purposeful, instrumental, directed at achieving a particular end” [23], the main differentiatingcharacteristic is the type of equipment experiences that students obtain during their researchwork. Three types of equipment characteristics are evident in the literature. The first type isstudents who primarily rely on computer modeling and simulation in their research. The secondtype is students who primarily rely on test facilities and equipment for physical experiments intheir research. The third type is students who have limited reliance on equipment beyondcommon computers and information technology in their research.When looking at the experiences of engineering students who

looking beyonddesign education in a single discipline to design education as an entity unto itself mayprove supportive of necessary changes in preparing future designers. Engineers can learnfrom other disciplines and vice versa about ways to improve design education. Abeginning step in this task is establishing an awareness of common practices andexperiences in design.The research was guided by the following questions:• How do designers within and outside of engineering experience design similarly?• What themes emerge from these experiences that could facilitate common ground?BackgroundDesign scholars over the years have proposed a variety of definitions for design.

One aspect of student diversitythat is often overlooked is student age. Adult learners are an important source of futureengineering professionals, and it is critical that these students are supported through degreecompletion. Because relatively little research has focused on adults as a special populationamong engineering students, this study aims to elucidate adult engineering studentexperience.
