One of the most difficult skills forteachers, or anyone, to master is to be consistent, immediate, and frequent in rewarding thedesired responses when they occur.” Mentor provided feedback would similarly need to becarefully structured to be effective.To summarize, SI programs, business literature, cognitive sciences, and behavioral teachingmodels provide options for mentor roles and practices. The SI model suggests that mentors caneffectively foster collaboration by guiding student teams, rather than being experts. Techniquessuch as reflecting questions back to the students are useful.

Although EWB is primarily an extra-curricularactivity for students, some projects are designed and structured to teach specific skills andinclude reflective writing assignments for student participants. Research has shown that LTSactivities can successfully meet a variety of learning outcomes for engineering students andprovide benefits to community partners.6,14 This paper will present a summary of LTS activitiesbased on a literature search and recent activities associated with the NSF-grant on EngineeringFaculty Engagement in

The population of studentswho major in the STEM fields and who enter STEM careers do not reflect current demographicsof the United States population. Despite progress in gender and racial equity in STEM careers,STEM fields have historically been and continue to be dominated by white men, particularly inengineering, computer sciences, and physics [2].

? Figure 1. Requirements as the Pivot Point Between Problem Framing and Solving in DesignFrameworkWe agree with Dorst [4] that engineering design is a concurrent and iterative process of bothframing and solving problems. Problem framing, especially early in design problems, oftenrequires translating between qualitative and quantitative frames. This move from qualitative toquantitative representations is reflected in the descriptions of the design process found innumerous design texts [5]–[8] and in the research literature on designing [1], [9]–[11]. Intranslating from qualitative to quantitative representations, the ability to develop and setrequirements is essential to the framing of problems.Further, we contend that the technically-focused work
