These issues are highly complex, interconnected, and notamenable to simple solutions; they require design thinking. Thus, we have initiated a researchproject that seeks to achieve an understanding of current cultures and of potential changestrategies through a design thinking approach that involves stakeholders (students, faculty, staff,administrators, and alumni ) in the design process to co-create potential solutions within theSchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and the Weldon School of

. Page 11.403.21 Introduction: Motivation and Background1.1 Benefits of Understanding Design Context Engineers are often called on to design for frontier design contexts outside theirexperience and expertise. This situation occurs by default because engineers are a subset ofsociety; they design products to be used by children, remote villagers, the illiterate, and othergroups typically not represented among design engineers. Additionally, the importance multi-national companies place on positioning products in a global marketplace requires design forcustomers in other countries, cultures, and economies. Although most design engineering isperformed in developed countries, 86% of the world lives in a developing country9. A specialcase of

that student views onstakeholders during design varied significantly; from a complete lack of appreciation forstakeholders during design to the development of significant relationships with stakeholders asdesign collaborators14.As an increasingly appreciated methodology in engineering design, the use of designethnography and the ways in which students learn to practice design ethnography requirethorough study. An understanding of these techniques can help improve their application duringdesign and support the development of relevant and effective design pedagogy. The researchdescribed in this paper contributes to addressing these gaps in knowledge by studying howengineering students apply design ethnography techniques in their capstone design

examines the impact of the activity on students’ understanding of the role of human-centereddesign in design for manufacturability in engineering. The paper concludes with guidelines on howto modify the activity for future implementations in the course.What is Human-Centered Design? Human-Centered Design (HCD) is an interdisciplinary, problem solving approach thatidentifies the unmet needs of a population in order to collaboratively develop solutions. Thisapproach puts humans in the center of the design process and seeks to understand them, collaboratewith them, and involve them in the design process in order to make products or services useful,usable, and desirable [1]. To do so, human-centered design involves the implementation

We also develop two survey instrumentsfocused on project-based learning within mechanical design courses. The first survey focuses onhow the design process is enacted by students during their projects. The second survey examineshow students make fabrication decisions to support their project work.A pilot study using both instruments was performed with

feedback on solution concepts [2], [7], [11]–[13].However, one challenge that designers often encounter when eliciting requirements or solicitingfeedback is that individual users have their own unique perspectives that often change over timeor conflict with those of other similar users [2], [6], [7], [14]–[16]. As such, understanding andbalancing the perspectives of different users can be a difficult task, but one that has substantialimplications for the success of a given design project.Engineering students in particular may encounter difficulties when interacting with users to elicitrequirements or solicit design feedback. For instance, previous studies have described caseswhere engineering students struggled to manage the subjective aspects of

These specific emphasesand scopes impact students’ understandings of design, and how students negotiate designdecisions within the project team experience. Therefore, research that can ascertain how studentsin these various contexts perceive and make sense of design, as well as what they believe isrelevant and important in a design project, provides an important empirical basis for improvingengineering programs and meeting the criteria set forth by engineering and technology’saccreditation organization, ABET, for effective engineering curriculum.14The authors employ a discursive psychological approach to analyze interviews with studentsfrom four different institutions working on multidisciplinary

The Culturally Contextualized Design frameworkrepresents three levels of sophistication – novice, aware, and informed – for each of the fiveCCD aspects: (1) human-centered, (2) collaborative, (3) intentional, (4) open to flexibility andambiguity, and (5) invested and committed. The goal of this paper is to present the examples ofthree engineering students with different backgrounds and experiences and to map theirdevelopment within the framework. We also discuss the potential utility of this new frameworkto understand how engineering students learn to integrate culture and design and to assess theimpact of educational practices.Introduction and
