requirements areintended to ensure that students enter the course with a basic understanding of culture and theengineering design process. Using these classes as our foundation, we introduce students to theconcepts listed in Table 1. These topics are covered through a combination of lecture and classactivities, including opportunities for role playing which has been shown to provide a more vivideducation experience for students [2]. To demonstrate the influence of culture on the engineeringdesign process, for example, student teams develop simple designs for household cleaning choresand then reflect on the cultural assumptions they bring to the design, whether those assumptionswould be universally appropriate, and whether all engineers would define

, collaborative communication led to an increased sense ofrelatedness among different disciplines, which may be useful for effective public researchcommunication about interdisciplinary engineering projects.IntroductionThere is a general understanding that engineering solves problems, but it is often hard tounderstand the direct context or implications of what engineers do without substantialscaffolding. Meanwhile, STEM is a familiar term within contemporary American educationalsystems, but it does not reflect a monolithic domain unto itself, and it is not always clear howengineering relates to science, technology, or math within this framing. While engineering aloneis a rich area of exploration, contextualizing it with other disciplines can highlight

In the spring modules are built and tested,integrated, iterated, then the project finally undergoes an acceptance test. While the V-model isintuitive for those with design experience, as a project management model it does not accuratelythe reflect the actual and iterative work of design so it needs to be implemented flexibly and withsignificant scaffolding.Because capstone courses can be very time-intensive for faculty, the instructors have developed asignificant amount of scaffolding over time using an action-based research approach [4] (seenext section). This has resulted in a “hands-off” approach where students have responsibility formost project decisions. While

. While mostcreativity frameworks involve divergent thinking (concept generation), convergent thinking(iterating a prototype), as well as openness to idea exploration, and reflection, in practice andunder constraints most engineering projects focus disproportionately on the first two of these four.Useful interventions might find ways to increase students’ “openness to idea exploration” and“reflection” about design.Studies have shown that students’ creativity increases when risk taking is supported in theclassroom (Daly [65] again, citing others). Increasing incentives for students to take risks andexplore ideas, and providing an environment in which they feel safe doing so, could disrupt the“lockstep” “death march” and enhance creativity and free

critical reflection of the learner on the experience. Unlessembedded within a course as a service-learning activity (e.g. [13]), there may not be structuredreflection. This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span. K-12 activities are often designed to be fun, so they arelikely to generate interest on behalf of both the college student and K-12 kids

For instance, he frequently minimizes or skips sections of theactivities that require whole group discussion, writing, or reflection; thus each activity runs about15 to 20 minutes under the suggested time. He infrequently emphasizes the activity’s purposewith the whole group (Table 4). His use of questioning strategies with the small groups appearsto support development of engineering habits of mind and sense making.
