. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Reflection and Metacognition in Capstone DesignAbstractReflection is a valuable skill that is not immediately familiar to many of our students. Our facultyteam has introduced systematic reflection in a two-semester multidisciplinary engineering designcourse at the United States Military Academy at West Point. A course goal is to produceengineers competent in designing with current technologies who are able to anticipate and torespond to change. Because a key component of the course has always been the assessment of thedesign against the requirements, we chose to augment the design process with multipleopportunities for reflection.This year’s course consists of 18 capstone

Ten mechanical engineering students were recruited and asked togenerate potential solutions for a design problem. We analyzed patterns in students’ conceptgeneration practices to uncover why they limited divergent thinking. Participants narrowed theproblem that restricted potential solutions, eliminated potential ideas due to financial costs,directed themselves away from potential solutions outside of their knowledge, and focused oncriticizing existing solutions that led them to suggest concepts that were minor improvements onthose existing solutions.

potentialfindings. For this case, the intervention led to a change in the sketches as well as in how thestudent was talking about people who would use the designs. This case study suggests that achange to instructions during conceptual sketching—requiring representations of people—mayfoster engineering students’ engagement in human-centered design practices.IntroductionHuman-centered design (HCD) requires a deep understanding of people in the design context[1]–[3]; however, research documents that engineering students have struggled to consider thepeople who will use their designs [4]–[9]. Empathy is a key mindset in human-centered design inorder to effectively understand people’s experiences and incorporate them into design decisions[10]–[12]. Empathy

Researchers and theorists have long trumpeted the value of reflective practice asa differentiating factor in the effectiveness of practitioners. As shown by the growing number ofpublications on the topic in engineering education literature, teaching students the process andvalue of reflection is increasingly recognized as an essential component of engineering designeducation.To support teaching and learning of reflection in engineering capstone design courses, this studyseeks to understand how students reflect—individually and as a team—as they are engaged in adesign project
