Developing an understanding of how engineersapply problem-solving methodologies to address real-world, open-ended problems is afundamental objective of the Academy’s academic program so, after receiving six credit hours ofbasic IT instruction, students are required to take an additional 3 semester-long engineeringcourses from one of the Academy’s eight engineering programs. It is a requirement that the thirdcourse accomplish USMA Engineering and Technology goals by providing an integratingexperience that challenges students to apply principles and theory learned during the previoustwo semesters to design-based coursework.

One of the most alarming aspects of this void was the teachers’ inability to reflecton what they were learning related to engineering, apart from a vague understanding of theengineering design process. Without a clear understanding of core engineering concepts, theconnection to student learning is tenuous at best. This void also poses serious problems for highquality curriculum and assessment. As the NAE Committee on K-12 Engineering Educationobserved, a “critical factor is whether teachers—from elementary generalists to middle schooland high school specialists—understand basic engineering concepts and are comfortableengaging in, and teaching, engineering design”.8This

In software engineering design, the whole processis referred to as Requirements Engineering (RE), though RE is rooted in systems engineering andapplies more broadly than just software-intensive projects [15]. In Human-Centered Design andDesign Thinking, requirements development is intrinsically tied to the Understand (Empathize)and Synthesize (Define) phases where unmet needs are explored [16], [17] though requirementsare not necessarily discussed

The topics of senior designprojects are chosen by students, not professors. Since last year, each team is required to evaluatethe project from a sustainability point of view in the final report. Accordingly, a new approach isproposed in this paper to enhance students’ understanding of sustainable engineering designprinciples and to help them synthesize sustainability concepts already introduced in previouscourses.

and design projects answers some of the challenges in this “flat-world”. Additionally, this platform is in accordance with the National Academy of Engineersrecommendation that, “Engineering schools should introduce the interdisciplinary learning in theundergraduate environment, rather than having it as an exclusive feature of the graduateprogram”1. One of the primary advantages of interdisciplinary teams is that instead of each student teamrequiring initiation of the project from ground zero, they can work on the project based on aplatform that has been initiated previously. This provides ample time for the students to deal withintegrated and complex projects, and have a deeper understanding of new concepts. Overall, theinterdisciplinary

Another approach is the integration of assessment tools into student activities inorder to provide feed-back on their learning [2]. Also, the idea that students can improve theirlearning by taking on an active role has been discussed by Dufresne et al. [3], Wenk et al.[4] andMestre et al.[5].In reference [6] the authors discuss ways by which some of these approaches could be used forimproving student understanding of basic mechanical engineering design subjects.

other words,there is no “one correct solution.” Engineering design can be a very engaging pedagogicalstrategy, particularly with adolescents, because people can bring their values to their designsolution. Optimal solutions are also not stagnant and unchanging. For example, even if asolution were optimum at one moment in time for the specifications and constraints that wereimposed, new technologies, new opinions, and new perspectives might lead to redefined ordifferent solutions. This is a very empowering and unique feature of engineering that is insignificant contrast to scientific and mathematical understandings where hypotheses andtheorems may be refined but generally remain unalterable.

Engineering DesignBased on the state/trait distinction offered by Clark et al. [4], multiple scholars have conjecturedthat empathy manifests in specific contexts in different ways. For example, in the context ofengineering, Walther et al. [2] argued that we can conceive of empathy in both similar anddistinct ways of other contexts. As they indicated, while many traditional empathy concepts areimportant to engineers, some aspects of empathy are uniquely important to engineers, such asholistic service to society. Likewise, Surma-Aho et al. [23] provided a model of empathy indesign based on extant empathy conceptualizations and argued that five empathy concepts arecore to design: “empathic understanding, empathic design research, empathic design action
