Monitoring proficiency toward each standard allows for a richerassessment and reflection of student achievement.Various educational benefits from SBG arise as a result of the personalized, clear, andmeaningful feedback provided to students regarding their learning and development.Assessments are made about the quality of student work based on specific objectives thatstudents are made aware of at the beginning of a course.1 This provides fairness and transparencyby grading each individual student based on the quality of their current work alone, regardless ofhow other students in the course perform or on the student’s previous

reflected on their concepts acrossboth concept generation sessions. Our research goals were to identify how designers consideredpeople and whether their process changed with the request to explicitly include drawings ofpeople within sketches. The conceptual sketches and associated “think-aloud” transcripts werethen analyzed to determine the impact of the representational prompt on engineers’ thoughtprocesses and design outcomes. With a simple intervention to represent people within sketches,we found several positive effects on how engineers considered people during design.BackgroundHuman-centered design (HCD) has been an important approach in engineering since the 1980s.This framework is commonly used in design when solutions to problems are

Hands-on learning also proves to be challenging, such as medical studentsreporting that “online classes proved to be an excellent opportunity for theoretical subjects likebasic sciences but not suitable for clinical subjects like clinical skills” [4]. These challenges areall reflected in engineering design education, where social group dynamic is vital for projectsuccess, and the hands-on component cannot be conveyed as effectively online.Many of the concerns around the impact of online learning on students and the effectiveness ofcontent delivery for engineering design education can be addressed with

Also, it shouldbe noted that job description may not provide a complete reflection of the type of work an engineer does onthe job. The nature of the work conducted by engineers evolves as time and projects go on, meaning theactual activities of a practicing engineering may be very different from those that were written into the jobadvertisement. In addition, the rate of occurrence of activities within a job posting is unlikely to reflect theproportion of time spent on each activity by the engineer.

A design project is given to students enrolled in a Design Methodologies course –which serves as a Capstone Design Precursor – at a small private, engineering focused university.Student empathy was collected through a survey that combined two existing empathy instruments.Student empathy was calculated before and after the product design assignment. Further, studentsperformed stimulated reflection to discuss the challenges observed with their design.The results of the study suggest that while students recognize the importance of empathy, theassignment itself did not improve their empathy scores. Students did not see a statisticallysignificant change in their empathy scores before and after the assigned based on the surveyinstrument

As part of this role,they should be given some level of autonomy, such as the ability to tweak the experiment orgiven access to equipment or tools for their creative projects. Despite the level of autonomy thatstudents thrive on, it is important that faculty realize students may be slow to question ahypothesis when engaging in experiments. They thus require mentoring and reflection withregards to research methods. Faculty must also invest in these activities by purchasing orproviding access to equipment, or consulting with students regularly. Additionally, many ofthese

One of the key early design process steps isthe analysis of customer needs. Through experience it has been observed that students struggleto grasp the importance and nuance of this stage of design. This unfortunately can lead to furtherchurn, rework, and major schedule impacts later in the time-constrained capstone. This struggleis not limited to only the educational domain, but is a challenge for many in the engineeringdesign industry.4Without a clear understanding of what lies ahead for a student, there is a tendency to take eachstep only at face value, without appreciating the integrated fashion in which

Like diagramming, map-making is a subtractive processimplying a fixation on one aspect of the world, be it roads, geology, or fluid current [32], [33].Through observing and marking the map, decisions are made of what is seen and what omitted.Strategic thinking is embedded in such work, an active thinking process which can serve as anexploratory design tactic.Furthermore, the designer’s engagement in two active processes of map-making, observation andannotation, add additional value.

This vision has been appropriated for American engineering curricula considering thatengineering can have a humanistic approach through specific courses or methodologies, theassessment of their activities from a perspective of the ethics, and the reflection about therelationship between engineering and technology, including its impacts [8]. In that sense, themain objective is deconstructing engineering from a utilitarian perspective, based on effectivityand loyalty to institutions, to reconstruct it in a libertarian or communitarian perspective based

as the end artifact (Lande & Leifer, 2009). The notion of learningprofessional work, like a “prototyping culture” (Schrage, 1996), can sometimes support courselearning goals. Oftentimes though the purpose of learning of a design process, and in particular,the discrete steps and associated values, takes a secondary role to the creation and delivery of afunctional system. There is less time than might be desired for reflection (Turns et.al, 2014),especially within the design process, in seeking feedback and actually doing iterative design.Iterative physical prototyping to learn and refine concepts further (Buxton, 2007) may suffer dueto time constraints.Future Time HorizonStudents’ futures thinking has been explored, though not within the

Students who participated in thissurvey after taking the course found skills related to teamwork as useful. The skills developedfrom working in a team are an important outcome of first-year design experiences. We found thatas students reflected on the course with more time removed from taking the course theyidentified different aspects of teamwork as useful. For example, freshmen included timemanagement, sophomores highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of working in a team, andjuniors liked how the team project simulated real-life work experience.

As mentioned above, before scoring can take place a categorization process is sometimesnecessary. This is done in order to calculate the flexibility dimension. Scorers judge the meaningor intent of a response based on their understanding, and hence, subjectivity is inherent to theprocess. In this paper, we use the dimensions of originality, flexibility, fluency, and elaboration,as presented by Bayliss [28], as the foundation for our scoring method.

How do students identify, select, and justify their capstone design project problem statement, and are there structural differences in how students who received the intervention perform this step, versus other students? 2. Were the interventions helpful in teaching students about needs identification? This paper specifically looks at student perceptions of their design methods and thehelpfulness of the interventions. A
