An essential aspect of the shortcourse was to develop and provide a communication “toolkit” to guide the students as theyquestioned business processes and strategies.We decided to use a single case study to provide a problem scenario and then for the students towork in teams to provide a solution to the case’s needs. At question were how much businesstheory background would be useful and what sort of communication tools the students wouldfind relevant.

In fact, there is someindication that reading from computer screens is about 25% slower than reading from paper.First and foremost there are some important differences between a computer screen and a sheetof paper or even a blackboard. As of 1997, the average high-end monitor available forcommercial use on a computer had about 110 dpi or dots per inch of resolution. This issignificantly less than a piece of paper.

Odyssey of the Mind, the FIRST Robotics Competition, and theInternational Bridge Building Competition are three notable examples.2,3,4 Furthermore, by theirvery nature, these sorts of competitions tend to be exclusionary. For example, Odyssey of theMind permits a school to enter only one team for each of five design problems.

To challenge conceptualizations of engineering thatreproduce and maintain inequitable processes and outcomes, educators must interrogate whatcounts as engineering and support such reflection in their students. Educators must teach thatengineering is sociotechnical in nature [7]; authentic engineering problem-solving is contextual[13], [23]; and engineering is part of justice movements [1], [20].
