framing theproblems, enables developing new solutions, and helps address creative perspectives on our 1social landscapes [14]–[17]. The idea of design thinking as a framework for solving the problemseffectively and innovatively [18] was first stated by Herbert Simon [19], who identified design asthe knowledge, a set of processes that follows by a well-defined problem. He saw designthinking as creating ‘the desired state of affairs [1, pp. 210],’ which can be applied to the areaslike engineering, management, and economics. Ever since Herbert [1] first discussed the notionof design thinking, researchers have sought to validate the nature of design thinking in a diversecontext. In an engineering

A large numberof ABET accredited engineering schools have adopted business managementeducation requirements under an engineering management major [Sarchet andRobert (1986); Babcock and Lloyd (1992)]. Such programs, designed to link thegap between engineering and management knowledge, are typically housed inindustrial engineering departments and include many courses that stress thetechnical aspects of management - production efficiency models, schedulingmodels, quality control, etc.— all of which meet ABET's definition of appliedtechnology, but treat subjects such as accounting, finance, marketing

Traditionally,construction education in the United States focused on managerial, technical, and proceduralaspects. However, in the past decade, the industry's environmental impact has gainedrecognition, prompting owners to demand the integration of sustainability in the constructionprocess [11].

In the past, students wererequired to sit through a one-hour lecture once a week to fulfill a one-credit, seminarrequirement. The enhancement to the class was to broaden the scope of the course, knockingdown the barrier of the classroom walls and increasing contact with more experiencedengineering populations; this change was made possible by funding provided through the TulaneInterdisciplinary Studies (TIDES) Program administered by the Provost’s Office.[1] The threeareas where the class would reach outside of the physical lecture
