Students exist in theworld of the classroom [18], [22], build emerging engineering identity [23], and bring their priorlives and understandings with them into the problem solving process. As each of these facetsfluctuates in a student’s mind, epistemic agency may appear to move between several sources.Something does not have to be an epistemic agent to be treated as if it were one. In the late1980s, Daniel Dennett described the intentional stance: when a person interprets an inanimateobject as having wants and beliefs [24]. Through the intentional stance, students can treatproblems as epistemic agents in the problem solving process. But why might they do this? In theculture of the classroom, students

Dorothy pointed out the importance of social impacts onengineering design and of designing products with everyone in mind. The idea that Dorothyrelates social considerations to engineering design and creativity shows that Dorothy possesses abasic sense of sociotechnical integration, a level of understanding likely also held by other first-year engineering students.

Scholars have argued thatpreparing engineering majors to develop a design thinking mindset is a promising approach toaddress better preparation of engineering students for their future professions and call for allengineering faculty to “incorporate those habits of mind and the tools of design thinking into allparts of the engineering curriculum” [1].

By first understanding adolescents’ approachesto these problems, researchers can identify ways in which they might more fully supportadolescents in developing the habits of mind practiced by professional engineers. Although ahandful of previous studies have studied adolescents’ cognitive activity during engineeringdesign processes, many of these studies have focused on time allocation rather than offering aqualitative description of what adolescents do at each stage of the process.6,7 Moreover, mostresearch on novices’ design activity (which studies undergraduates rather than adolescents) hasexamined their work on pre-determined design challenges

. However, traditional classroom activities emphasizewell-defined problems and encourage students to manipulate abstract symbols such as physics ormathematical formulas to identify solutions. Such reliance on abstract operation, along withhaving little experience of concrete modeling through embodied and prototyping techniques, hasled students to face great challenges when entering engineering programs2. Therefore, middleschool students need increased exposure to engineering design experiences that transform their“habit of the mind”—from fixating on thinking-before-prototyping towards prototyping-to-think.In this study, we structured a toy design workshop to provide hands on and engaging designactivities for middle school students, to help them
