One study of 48 first-yearengineering students given different subsets of 12 Design Heuristics used Design Heuristics inover half of their created concepts for a portable solar oven[28]. Further, the concepts resultingfrom the application of Design Heuristics were rated by blind coders as more creative designs.Studies with more advanced engineering students showed that design teams made use of theirconcepts including Design Heuristics in senior capstone projects across various designproblems[29].

In STEM disciplines, where research is oftentimes conducted in secure lab facilities,engagement is particularly challenging. In 2016, librarians at North Carolina State Universityembarked on a project to overcome this difficulty by joining selected research groups andattending regular lab meetings.

While engineering mechanics coursesare not always associated with student team projects, these courses provide the opportunity toshow students how teamwork and diversity are relevant to problem solving. And, as mechanics-oriented courses often dominate the sophomore and junior level of many engineering programs,they can be an important venue for providing continuous instruction to students about workingwith others and in teams.

Players in the next level will haveincreased ability. We want to design level-based XP to reflect students’ progress through theircourses. However, we want to avoid associating XP directly with performance-based criteria suchas students’ assignment scores, since this may cause unexpected negative effects.
