Scale (SSDS), was designed to measure four sustainability-related outcomes: (a) confidence in responding to wicked problems and awareness of (b) global,(c) social, and (d) environmental responsibilities as a designer. The SSDS was implementedpre-post within a course context as part of a multi-university initiative called the WickedProblems in Sustainability Initiative (WPSI) during the Fall of 2014.The primary objective of this paper was to provide an overview of the reliability of the SSDSand to consider where the SSDS may still be improved for optimal alignment with WPSIobjectives and outcomes. Our secondary goal was to consider where WPSI may be improved inthe future in light of the survey results, which included the survey items and written

For example, a common refrain in U.S. political campaigns involves variations of the following analogy: “My opponent is a Democrat, and Democrats raise taxes. I’m a Republican, and Republicans don’t raise taxes. So vote for me and I won’t raise your taxes!” In engineering, analogical reasoning is a common strategy during the design and iteration process. Analogical reasoning, “a form of inference that allows us to derive implications from single cases even when we do not know all the factors involved,” enables engineers to make comparison-based predictions [33].
