Such aframework can be of use while comparing design settings for their effectiveness as well asguiding educators in developing course materials, modules, or experiences that can stimulate aneffective design learning environment. The study’s goals are not only to validate but also toenhance the conceptual framework by better understanding the relationship between the dynamiclearning environment and the desired design outcomes.Literature ReviewDesign research tackles with design practice in three different ways: normative, empirical anddesign-as-an-art.

environmental impact – A study was conducted that applied oursprinkling algorithm to historical data to estimate the percentage of water that would have beensaved using our system. Dealing with water restrictions – Many municipalities restrict days and times thatsprinkling can occur. We needed to research how strictly these are enforced and if anyaccommodations could be made with governmental agencies. Addressing reliability issues – Beyond the prototyping stage of the project, we needed tocontinually test our system for reliability, since this is a major consideration when going tomarket. Understanding that “time is money” – Whenever possible, we have tried to use the“official” university channels to purchase necessary equipment

frequent concern regarding self-reflection is selecting a method or approach that can beconsistently executed. For many of the same reasons as above, self-reflection practices that aretoo complex, too time-consuming, or less actionable in design are quick to be discarded whenfaculty find themselves unable to regularly complete them or to use them directly to impact theirteaching.During the one-hour reflective teaching workshop, facilitators shared self-reflection tools andpractices that could deepen their sense of self to strengthen their equity-oriented teaching. First,the facilitators shared ways in which practitioners and educators could make reflection a routineelement of teaching (e.g., formal journaling before and after instruction, making

ABET, for example, suggests that it is important to use a Page 12.168.2“multi-method/multi source approach to maximize the validity and reduce the bias of any oneapproach” [6, p. 2]. While systems thinking is not new to program evaluation or engineeringdesign, it is seldom employed in course-level research, where the focus tends to be on evaluatingthe local impact of specific teaching methods on individual student achievement [7].

StudentsAbstract Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs have been shown to promotepositive outcomes such as increased interest in graduate school and STEM careers for theirparticipants. Research has also shown how graduate students benefit from mentoringundergraduate researchers—namely they receive instrumental research support, improveteaching skills, and develop socioemotionally. Less research, however, has investigated the waysin which graduate students mentor undergraduate REU participants, and how the mentoring rolemay impact the graduate students. To address this gap in the literature, the current studyexamines the way in which graduate students mentor, and the impact of the mentor role ongraduate students participating in a

design-based research, action research, and qualitative interviewing. We seek to explore thisconnection for multiple reasons. First, we find that both the lean and customer-centriccharacteristics of this approach are synonymous with engineering education’s iterative, adaptive,and user-centered forms of qualitative research. Second, we, like the National ScienceFoundation, predict these processes will have a positive impact on educational technologies,programs, courses (Chavela Guerra et al. 2014), and engineering education research.
