While these courses may range in methodology or scope, thecommon goal is for students to apply a range of skills to develop a design project that spans theirengineering discipline. In civil engineering programs, these projects may come directly fromprofessional practice or include experiential components to develop a preliminary design [1].With other engineering disciplines, such as mechanical or electrical, there may be requirementsto develop prototypes to iterate on their designs.

For example, while attending a conference, a student may be encouraged to reflect on a recent classroom learning experience. • Abstract conceptualization: In this stage, the learner forms new ideas or modifies existing ideas based on reflection. For example, after reflecting on the research problem, the learner may adjust their initial perception (learned during lectures) of how best to solve it. • Active experimentation: In this stage, learning is transferred to other settings around the learner.

insightWhen a team is evaluating design options, the objective is to select the best option tomaximize positive outcomes while minimizing negative consequences. A challenge for mostteams is recognizing the broad range of potential outcomes and consequences, and themagnitudes of those impacts. Questioning helps students discover things they missed. Evenonce the team members have identified the potential outcomes and consequences, they oftenstruggle to develop a consensus of what is “best”. In this case, asking questions helps theteam members discover the underlying values informing each student’s assessment of theimpacts.To motivate the skill, we shared the story of Citicorp Center (Morgenstern 1995): A questionfrom an architecture student prompted
