The OLP implementation in the productdevelopment and design course provided many benefits. The students were able to incorporatedesign experience and manufacturing experience early in the design cycle. Teamwork waspromoted and communication increased between product design, and manufacturing. A betterunderstanding of the design's impact on manufacturing cost was gained. In addition, studentsnow have a much better sense of product development and

considers differences betweenengineers and architects, which both contribute to building design. STEM has always included“engineering,” but “architecture” was not officially recognized by Congress as a STEM subjectuntil 2019 [47]. It is unclear if the general population is aware of its recent inclusion.Nevertheless, there is a call for more systematic research of how STEM and design relate ineducation [48], [49]. Based on gaps in the research, this paper examines if STEM SC can predict pre-designstudent performance and engagement in a building parametric design tool, and how the studentsprioritize different criteria.

Students were also asked to define social responsibility anddescribe university courses or experiences which influenced their opinions on social andprofessional responsibility. Students commonly referred to social responsibility as a sense ofobligation to protect communities and societies and often mentioned courses outside ofengineering which reinforced this sense.
