This is “the majorunderlying force on environmental degradation and a threat to sustainable use of naturalresources” [1]. As a result, there is a need for much more energy to accommodate thesedemands. At the same time, the world is facing the problem of extreme impact of these demandson the nature and environment and is in need for developing methods of satisfying thesedemands

. Figure 1: Design Thinking Process schematicDue to this lack of exposure to open-ended problems with real client needs, students in capstonecourses tend to skip over problem development/definition and do not explore a variety ofpotential solutions. Rather, most students sitting in these classes jump into working on a single,usually the most obvious, if not best, solution to the perceived problem. In 2014, TempleUniversity’s College of Engineering incorporated the Design Thinking (DT) process to ourintroductory freshman course and to our senior capstone experience. However, faculty advisingin the senior capstone projects still noted that their student teams were not using DT for theirprojects without explicit reminders. We feel that this ‘gap’ in
