team) mental model or a taskwork mental model (Mohammed etal., 2010). Teamwork mental models include knowledge structures of the interpersonalinteraction requirements and skills of team members (Mohammed et al., 2010). Taskwork mentalmodels are knowledge structures associated with work goals and performance requirements.High quality mental models that are shared across team members have been found to positivelycontribute to the success of the team (Kim, 2019). Given the utility of having a shared mental model within a team, a considerable body ofresearch has been devoted to understanding this concept (see Mohammed et al., 2010 for acomprehensive overview). One of the most important, but challenging, elements of this researchhas been the
. For atmospheric temperature, relative humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction, andamount of water collected, the team used the La Crosse Technology® weather station. Thismodel has a Pro 2019 Station Model display, a rain bucket, solar powered anemometer, and athermo-hygro sensor. The rain bucket is a Rain 2.0 Sensor that is self-emptying and measures theamount of water collected by the WOTA system (LTV-R2 Rain Sensor, 2019). The solar-poweredanemometer is an LTV-WSDTH01 Breeze Pro Sensor attached to the roof of the fencing at thehighest point on site. It measures the outdoor air temperature, relative humidity, heat index,barometric pressure, and wind speed (LTV-WSDTH01 Breeze Pro Sensor, 2019). The displayallows workers to check the data

These features highlight unique aspects of engineering thatenable a more comprehensive understanding of what engineering is and how engineering works(Pleasants and Olson, 2019), and further emphasize how an understanding of design is embeddedin broader contexts and shaped by social interactions. Previous literature on design theory has presented design as a situated activity, describingdesign as open-ended, goal-oriented, social, and situated [34]–[36].

and AnalysisThe data used for this study came from PDS reports for 2020 and covered the academic yearfrom summer 2019 through spring 2020. This time frame includes the early phase of theCOVID-19 pandemic lockdown that began in spring 2020. Thus, many students’ reflections werenot yet impacted by that event. We particularly focused on students’ reports in either technicalactivities or research activities and their career goals for analysis, which helped us answer theresearch questions. For technical work experience, we chose four open-ended questions from thesurvey to analyze in this study (see Appendix A). We also selected the four questions fromstudents who reported on their research experience in the survey (see Appendix B). For

the Call for ChangeAbstractEngineering and society have always been intertwined, especially with the accepted realizationof technology's significant and rapidly increasing influence on the evolution of society. As aprofession, engineering has a vital role in sustainably meeting needs and exploring opportunitiesthat are ever changing and evolving. As societal and industry needs have evolved, engineeringeducation itself has raised the call several times for evolving the way engineers are educated;however, the recent history of engineering education is, overall, one of missed opportunities.This was brought to a headline recently as ASEE leadership authored an article entitled “Stuck in1955, Engineering Education Needs a Revolution.” Those words
