She was able totalk about the social conditions of vulnerability to these hazards and about public understandingof seismic risk, but students seemed uninterested in this information. Instead, they approachedthis interview as a source of facts that they had already decided would be important for a designthat they already had in mind even though their faculty had encouraged them to try not to startdesigning until they had completed interviews.

Within the idea sections, teams of four students wereformed which are referred as ‘concept teams’ throughout the paper. The students worked withtheir concept teams in the idea sections for the duration of the study.

Done outsidethe confines of established engineering education curricular activities, Making comes from animaginative, creative mind-space and is a shareful practice. Making is defined by a do-it-yourself ideal and is historically rooted in efforts likePopular Mechanics magazine who demystified everyday stuff for hobbyists and the Whole EarthCatalog: Access to Tools5 who surveyed everyday tools for the counterculture movement of the1960s.

An advantage of mind mapping is that it enriches verbal descriptions with itspictures and relationship arrows.There are hundreds of different variations on brainstorming and creativity techniques that areuseful in engineering education. All have in common a step where the participants arechallenged to widen their view of the issues to be solved, so as to bring in a solution from awider field.

Thischoice was at the discretion of each team’s project advisor. The teams are formed from 37senior-level engineering students. Most teams have a majority of mechanical engineeringstudents with a minority of systems engineering or electrical engineering students. In this work,we sought to discover if varying the depth of instruction in the design process steps would havean effect on the students’ execution of the designette project, as well as their execution of theirlonger-term, real world project.

-Scoping/Problem Framing Problem-scoping or Problem Framing, the process by which engineers iteratively define and refine the problem, is an important part of the engineering design process but also one that requires specific skills and habits of mind. Few activities, however, are structured to help students develop these skills. Here we share three activities that were specifically developed to emphasize the problem-scoping phase of the engineering design process: The Paper Airplane Contest, the Changing Leaves Problem, and the Protecting Pelican Colonies problem. In these activities, students are presented with a client who has a rich, but ill-defined realistic problem. Students then engage in a structured
