Sometimes the Realize stage consistsof implementing a system, service, curriculum, or other intervention developed in the previousstage. The Realize stage may look like validating a physical product with users and otherstakeholders. Or, the potential solution from the Develop stage may, for example, promptdesigners and/or stakeholders to begin to understand the problem differently or shift priorities;these changes can necessitate revisiting previous stages in the process for more ideating, toredefine the problem, or perform further

novices. We speculate that becausethe academic experiences of novice designers so infrequently engender iteration, they fail torecognize that downstream design activities, like prototyping, are part of knowledge building thatcan inform reframing of problems, including requirements. Instead, design activities may beengaged or perceived as largely linear input/output stages.From these studies, we see a clear need to further our understanding of how students develop theskills necessary for deriving and working with engineering requirements. The development ofthat skill should extend beyond obvious opportunities, like cornerstone and capstone designcourses. Thus, this research is motivated to identify other places in the curriculum where thisskill

(Coutinho et al., 2017). Another study by Reeping et al. (2018) explored instructorsin an electrical and computing engineering department on their curricular decisions during areform of the program. They found four themes (valuing system thinking, valuing adaptability,seeing students struggle between values of concrete and abstract, and noting students’ lowtolerance of ambiguity) that explain how instructors decide on teaching essential knowledge inthe field. Many other studies explore the topic of teaching decision-making, with some focusingon having instructors adopt certain classroom approaches (Jarvie-Eggart et al., 2021; Moore etal., 2015).

We do not know what the percentage is of the 2000 cohortrespondents who do at least one of these tasks typically, but it appears it must be at least three-fourths. These findings are quite dramatic and the trends are rising. Perhaps the relativelymodest rating of the importance of design has to do with respondents being unaware of howmuch knowledge of design methods they could have.
