Various scholars have emphasized thatdispositions and beliefs must be studied in order to fully understand the development ofmathematical problem-solving ability5,6. Studies have shown that many K-12 and collegestudents come to believe that mathematics is a rule-driven, linear, solitary, school-only activity,in which problems have one correct solution that should be quickly evident and where trueunderstanding requires special talent 4,7. This counterproductive view can intimidate anddiscourage students and filter them out of science, technology, engineering, and mathematical(STEM) fields2,8,9. Acknowledging this problem, mathematics

The use of standards is so central toengineering that the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), whichaccredits colleges and universities that offer engineering degrees, requires that an accreditedprogram “incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints” into acapstone design experience [1]. Standards are valued in industry, as well. A survey of managersin technical sectors showed that the managers viewed standards as essential to daily operations,regardless of their company’s specific sector [2

A “KEEN” team project was given to the students in which they were asked to pretend that they were members of a startup company that would design, build, test, market, and sell a product with some dynamics content to it. As part of the exercise, the 20 teams worked on idea generation, concept development and identification of required activities, in addition to writing a draft Business Plan. Product ideas varied across different economic sectors including power generation, sports technology, transportation, food and beverage technology, and health care.

In thecase of the Hurricane Roof Vent, the students had to decide whether the product would be:• an "after market" item that could be retrofitted into any existing residential roof, or• a product that could only be installed in new home constructions.
