original ideas, including those on cognitive conflict triggering learning in children werefurther elaborated and expanded by various learning scientists and applied to K–12 as well as col-lege education. For instance, Doise and Mugny 4 conducted various studies about how cognitiveconflict impacts learning. Their work showed that the other learner(s) who held the conflictingviews did not need to be physically present, as long as the learners in question saw the conflictingviews as being those of peers. While triggering cognitive conflict is possible even without en-gaging with peers (e.g., via refutation text 5 instead), combining it with peer-interaction has majoradvantages. First, interaction with peers encourages the student to verbalize the

It refers to A multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the requirements (their history, political agendas, desires, forms of knowledge, etc.) is fully understood [19, p. 125].Although students in IFCS did not engage with an actual community, the posing of the tankproblem underscored the value of listening to a community to

We call thefirst of these two Start alone styles: Start alone, End together. This pattern of studying tends tofocus on a formal agreement among students to come together at a preset time(s) to discussdifficulties, compare answers, and engage in other benefits of collective effort. The secondvariation, Start alone, End almost together, while similar in philosophy to Start alone, Endtogether, tends to be more casual and less structured.

communication as their 1particular mode of autopoietic reproduction” (p. 3) As leading systems theorists Capra andLuisi[9] described: [Because] communications recur in multiple feedback loops, they produce a shared system of beliefs, explanations, and values – a common context of meaning – that is continually sustained by further communications (p. 308).Applying this theory to systems of higher learning, we argue that the social life (or “culture(s)”)of engineering colleges and departments is maintained by a network of communications fromwhich messages or stories emerge that reflect this “common context of meaning”.

Thus,we sought to connect student assets to problem framing as a means to support a growth mindsetwherein diverse students view themselves as already having the capabilities to participate in thedesign process.Next stepsThere have been calls for more research specifically looking at how, when and why certaingroups—including Hispanics and Native Americans—initially choose and then persist inengineering.8 This research begins to address this call.
