key principles ofthe Highlander Center are to identify root causes of issues, and work on these systemic issues inconsistent and generative ways instead of focusing on problems (e.g., not enough women inengineering). The outcome of this shift is that instead of focusing on getting more womenacclimated to the system of engineering education and practice, we can identify the root cause ofsexism, and ask what measures could be taken to combat sexism in the world of engineeringeducation and practice. This framing clearly would connect us to others working on issues ofsexism in engineering and in other contexts, with whom we could learn and collaborate.

These design activities represent several engineering procedures,from planning projects and improving a production process to developing new materials [2].However, the collaborative design process in PBL is not well understood. Although researchershave conceptualized engineering design process among engineering

These institutions can also supply the contentexpertise needed by programs that prepare new teachers of K–12 engineering.

The study used a thorough interview process of thought leaders inEngineering Education to identify the cutting edge of global engineering education and the stateof the art that is likely to develop in the future. From the MIT report the major challenges listedare: • the alignment between governments and universities in their priorities and vision for engineering education; • the challenge of delivering high-quality, student-centered education to large and diverse student cohorts; • the siloed nature of many engineering schools and universities that inhibits collaboration and cross-disciplinary learning
