Theresults of this study can serve to inform the larger research project and how to integrate CD intothe curriculum. First of all, the data we collected using the SSA were comparable to thenormative data and baseline data from the SCS-R and Measures of (Dis)engagement,respectively. Therefore, the absence of statistical significance is more than likely a result oflimitations of the data collected and the nature of the design project than an error on the part ofthe instrument. Moving forward, the larger research project will include additional steps to

As stated previously, the MEAs are activities that intend to simulatereal-word client-driven scenarios in a team-based collaborative environment [4].

Engineering technology programs includediverse topics, so it results in limited time for fluid-thermo courses despite their significance. Inaddition, engineering programs emphasize practical applications, whereas traditional fluid-thermo classes involve complicated equations and calculus. This calculus contents might posedifficulties for engineering technology students, despite their strength in practical and hands-onskills. Proceedings of the 2024 Conference

The students considered and explored multiple interconnected variablesthat were technical as well as non-technical in nature. The students showed further systemsthinking by optimizing their design through balancing trade-offs of non-linear interconnectedvariables. Sketching played an integral part in the students’ design process as it was used togenerate, develop, and communicate their designs.

On top of that, STEM and engineering fieldsare characterized as rigorous fields and students in both fields apply and learn critical thinking andproblem-solving skills in their curriculum. Thus, STEM and engineering can be considered similarfields in terms of their focus on science, technology, and mathematics and their application to real-world problems.
