Therefore, professionaldevelopment may influence engineering teaching culture, which in turn affects the inclusion of adiverse group of students in engineering.Research on Engineering Professional DevelopmentPrevious studies underscored the importance of teacher guidance for students in improvingstudents’ views of engineering and choosing STEM fields for their future career path [6], [19].Bearing in mind that teachers lack knowledge about engineering and how to integrate it into theirlessons, several researchers have attempted to develop professional development (PD) programsto improve teachers’ knowledge.

Most teams have a majority of mechanicalengineering students with a minority of systems engineering or electrical engineering students.The designette was a well-scoped design problem that was unrelated to the students’ capstone,long-term, real-world project. In this work, we sought to discover if it would be advantageous toassign a designette that is a small portion of the long-term, real world project, or to continue toassign a artifical, unrelated designette project. It is with this in mind that we developed ourresearch question: Research Question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of relating the designette project to the larger
