Forlarger classes, the students can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as aninstrument leading to group projects.

Day and Foley [8] used class timeexclusively for exercises, having their students prepare for class with materials provided online.Bishop and Verleger [9] presented a comprehensive survey of the research that reviewed differentways of using class exercises in the classroom, often referred to as the "flipped classroom."Frydenberg [10] primarily used hands-on exercises to foster student understanding in dataanalytics

The problems are designed with guidance and oversightfrom faculty to address the academic appropriateness of the inquiry to ensure educationaloutcomes.

A lot was just making it up, trying it out, and seeing what worked and what did not work.” (Hayley)Richard and Hayley’s ability to engage led them to learn new ideas and perspectives on how todesign.Invested & CommittedOur framework also highlights invested and committed student designers. In the context of ourframework, this category captures personal commitment to social justice and the sustainability ofthe design and processes. At the novice sophistication level, a student approaches design as asingular task without intention to apply what has been learned to a new situation. An awarestudent has a developing sense of social responsibility and ethics. They begin to explore theimpact of the design in the social

can see this worked out in Kallenberg’s [22] approach tothe teaching of ethics to engineering students, and we can also see that by substation of theengineering examples it is a more general application of design as knowledge. As both Kallenburgand Koen point out in any area of thought and practice that is ‘messy’ heuristics are valuable.Exercise 3. Student activity in relation to teaching decision making and its outcomesI had neither of these things in mind when I asked my students to design and implement a lesson toevaluate the merits of Wales and Stager’s design/problem solving heuristic for teaching decisionmaking.

Details of the individual experiential learning activities andthe resulting outcomes are presented and discussed.1. IntroductionExperience shows that when students are engaged in activities that integrate both cognitive andsensory systems, they are more likely to maintain focus and have better retention of the subjectpresented. There is anecdotal and scientific evidence to support the positive impact ofexperiential learning that many experienced teachers know to be true through personalinteractions with students.The continuing interest in active, collaborative, cooperative

Instruction in engineering will also help students develop Conceptions ofEngineers and Engineering (CEE) as they understand the many fields of work withinengineering and engineers roles in society. Becoming adept with the Tools, Techniques, andProcesses (ETools) for successfully accomplishing tasks is a goal of engineering educationoutside of the design process itself. When studying design problems, students should be mindfulof the surrounding Issues, Solutions, and Impact (ISI) and the global systems they affect, whileadopting the Ethical Responsibility (Ethics) of following engineering regulations and standards.Finally, Teamwork (Team) and Communication

. Their responsesrevealed a wide range of perspectives with the level of appropriation of the concept ofchangemaking engineering expressed along a continuum. As pointed out by Kabo and Baillie[10], concepts such as social justice, sustainability, humanitarian practices or ethics can bethreshold concepts to define what a changemaking engineer is. Using this idea, the authorscreated three distinct categories to classify how students defined changemaking engineering. Thefirst group represents students who did not relate engineering and changemaking in ways thatreflect the perspective of the university, or the RED project. These students did not relateengineering with changemaking or by defined every engineer as a changemaker. Nine (32%)students were

invites student participation. Class exercises are designed to explicitly facilitate that. Woods and Howard [11] effectively used class exercises for information technology students to study ethical issues. Day and Foley [12] used class time exclusively for exercises, having their students prepare beforehand for class with materials provided online. Frydenberg [13] primarily used hands-on exercises to foster student understanding in data analytics. Based on the context of the class module, class exercises were designed for the class time to explicitly raise questions to invite student participation. It may be questions to think further into the concepts for a deeper understanding, or practice using their knowledge with

-technical courses required by the eight Chinese computerscience programs. Chinese universities, similar to the U.S. universities, have a general educationrequirement that are common across majors. Usually these requirements do not include coursessuch as calculus or physics, which are considered as technical courses. These non-technicalgeneral education courses can be divided into two categories. One set of courses appear in almostall schools. For example, all our eight sample universities have a PE (Physical education)requirement and an English requirement. Seven of the eight schools require such courses asPrinciples of Marxism, Contemporary Chinese History, Fundamentals of Moral Ethics and Laws,and Military Theory. The second set of non-technical
