Lipman2 defines critical thinking as “skillful, responsible thinkingthat facilitates good engineering judgment because it relies upon criteria, is self-correcting, andis sensitive to content.” The EFFECT framework is designed on the basis of this definition.EFFECTs begin with a driving question that is embedded in a decision worksheet

In the firsttwo weeks of each project, the instructor provided a template Jupyter Notebook with a similar dataset tothe project and demonstrated how to code specific sequences needed to complete the project for about onehour of the lab. The second hour of lab was reserved as time for students to try to apply the concepts totheir project datasets with their groups and the instructors and teaching assistants were available to debugand answer questions.

Theseprograms, referred to in this proposal as practice-oriented experiential education or POEE, comprise co-op jobs,internships, apprenticeships, undergraduate research and other methods that integrate experience in the world withexperience in the classroom. These approaches are becoming increasingly relevant in a work culture characterizedby the need to continuously reflect and learn from ongoing experience [29].

The learning activities that educators in STEM fields may employ vary fromapproaches utilizing role playing to offering service-learning experiences [3]. One potential wayto cultivate empathy is the use of story-driven learning (SDL), defined as the intellectual processof creating, telling, and listening to reflective, evidence-based stories [4].Storytelling is beneficial for inquiry and knowledge construction and is key to promotingcommunication, psychosocial development, and a humanistic approach to others [5–8].

Interest is the student’s desire or curiosity to learn about engineering: an example of this iswhen a student goes above and beyond to gather understanding on the topic. Finally, recognitionis separated into three subfacets, which reflect the deep work done by Carlone and Johnson onrecognition in science identity: lack of recognition, social/teacher recognition, and self-recognition. While Hazari’s work touched on the idea of self recognition, the focus on areasother than recognition by others have not received as much attention as the identity model hasbeen adapted into engineering.

Conjecture mapping is “a means ofspecifying theoretically salient features of a learning environment design and mapping out howthey are predicted to work together to produce desired outcomes” (p. 19). It illustrates the aim ofthe design, distills particular features of the design and what they are expected to do, andspecifies what they should produce. As we have engaged in research over the past two decades,we have modified and revised our conjecture maps to reflect our learning.

In combination, these encompass the affective, behavioral, and cognitivedimensions of student engagement. Together, these three dimensions provide a comprehensiveview of how students engage with the project itself, their teammates, and others in theclass.

argue, “theanalogy between ethical problems and design problems is also very much connected with virtueethics and the proper reflection on the nature of engineering as a human activity” [19]. This isfurther compounded by Roeser’s observation that design is not value-free; thus, design forcesengineering students to confront their values [20].Also discussed in the literature is the timing and frequency with which students should bechallenged with ethical situations within their engineering course of study. In some programs,the discussion of ethics has been relegated to a capstone design course with a “one and done”approach. While we agree that capstone design courses offer a powerful opportunity tostrengthen engineering ethics education, we
