A mechanicalengineering instructor, with the help of two Project LEA/RN™ facilitators, set out to answer this question in onedistance education class. This paper describes our efforts.II.

Failure, and how one responds to failure, isa key part of this discussion, along with a discussion of growth mindset from the studies ofElliott and Dweck (1988) [8] and Murphy and Dweck (2010) [9]. Seeing failure as anopportunity to learn and improve, instead of a judgement on one’s character, is essential todeveloping the growth mindset approach to resilience in times of failure during both academicand professional engineering careers.

Through the ongoing study of this program andby request of student-teachers, we prioritize the following areas for improvement, which we posehere as questions for the engineering education community: • How do we better facilitate a space where all voices are heard and recognized as experts? We are concerned that the same voices repeatedly respond to questions and thus are regarded as experts, possibly detracting from others’ engineering identity work.

Unfortunately this is beyond the scopeof this research.DiscussionAs discussed by McLaren, the act of designerly thinking requires the assimilation of a rangeof cognitive processes to explore problems, situations, scenarios and it helps raise thequestions and ignite the sparks of curiosity20. The act of engaging students in design throughtechnology education provides students with a medium through which they can engage witha task which may not have a specific right or wrong outcome21. The role of design basedtechnology education is to provide students with a range of
