Selectedcomments and their related prescribed response are given here:One comment linked to the response, “Course Challenge” was, “This class really challenged mein thinking in different ways. The project was challenging for me because I am a transportationfocused [engineering student] and the project dealt with water resources and environmental[engineering].” Another response was, “The challenge of doing the work on our own was achallenge and really gave a perspective of what real life looks like.”Another chosen response to the “What has been beneficial?” question was “Engagement inAssignments or Projects.” With

As a research and program improvement methodology, design thinking has thebenefit of valuing students as co-innovators in the change process. It consists of a non-linear fivestage process that includes building empathy, defining the problem, ideating solutions,prototyping, and testing. The design thinking process used in this study was supported by bothquantitative and qualitative methods with a total sample size of 679 student participants.Quantitative data is presented from the department’s senior survey (n = 654).

Social structure, gender relations,religion, and aesthetics (to name just a few factors) all play a role in building design. In fact,in most cases cultural factors are more significant than material constraints in determining abuilding’s form and function. It is also important for engineering students to consider socialuses of buildings because this will help them design buildings which better satisfy the needsof the inhabitants. Furthermore, although the design of buildings is meant to make themstructurally safe, an understanding of the social use of buildings will also make themcomfortable and enjoyable
