Transdisciplinary Design Studio EnvironmentAbstractMany scholars have cited the importance of integrating humanities and social science contentinto engineering and technology education, noting the value in building students’ deepcompetence in communication and interpersonal skills, including an understanding of howtechnology is intertwined with societal and human needs. However, there is relatively littleguidance as to how viewpoints and content from liberal education perspectives might beintegrated systematically into a single, transdisciplinary learning experience that allows studentsto view the world through different lenses from a variety of disciplinary perspectives whilelocating and synthesizing information crucial to solving interesting and

We broadly considerourselves problem solvers. We are responsible for many of the technological marvelsthat people use everyday, yet many people do not understand or appreciate theengineering profession. In fact, even prospective engineering students are often at a losswhen asked about what engineers do. Earlier, during their secondary education, they mayhave been enthused by what technology has to offer, but upon entering a university tostudy and ultimately learn how to practice engineering they are often unsure

Evenso, these students do have the prior knowledge needed to understand the basic tenets ofengineering design. By introducing these real engineering skills, it may be possible to “hook”students by making them comfortable with the design language and with basic design tools,which will build their confidence to look further into engineering as an option beyond their highschool years.

the lack of experiential opportunity mayhave impacted the latter group’s motivation to interact with the product or collaborate with oneanother, thus limiting their collective understanding of the product. All groups experienced more P3 (attempting to solve) than any other collaborativeprocess, reflecting the same trend revealed in historical data of engineering students solving non-scaffolded ill-structured design tasks [10]. Indeed, the group with the highest P3 also had themost physical interaction with the product, suggesting that the other three problem-solvingprocesses were not as inherent to hands-on learning.
