SDGs “… seek tobuild on the [previous] Millennium Development Goals and complete what they did not achieve(United Nations General Assembly 2015).” In launching the SDGs in 2015, the GeneralAssembly of the United Nations “recognize[s] that eradicating poverty in all its forms anddimensions (including extreme poverty) is the greatest global challenge and an indispensablerequirement for sustainable development (United Nations General Assembly 2015).” To thatend, the SDGs represent “a plan of action for people, planet, and prosperity,” which in additionto peace and partnership, define the five “P’s” of the mission of the SDGs. To accomplish thatmission, there needs to be a “balance [between] the three dimensions of sustainabledevelopment: the

Overall, 74% of instructors reported they were satisfied with the project, and they especially appreciated the real-time dashboards that tracked student progress. There was a divide, however, between those teaching developmental (remedial) courses and general education gateway courses. While 67% of the developmental course instructors planned to use the adaptive courseware in the future, only 49% of the gateway course instructors did. A major

The initial analyses offer preliminary insight into the data used to validate and refine theproposed engineering leadership identity development model. While these results indicate agreater proportion of engineering students involved in leadership activities than expected, aconsiderable amount of work, including more complex statistical testing currently underway,remains to understand the impact of these roles and how engineering educators might betterprepare engineers who are ready to lead.

The idea is that socio-cognitive conflict, i.e., disagree-ments with other learners’ conception of the same problem or topic and interaction with peers toresolve the disagreements is fundamental to the learner’s grasp of new

This involves discussing potential theories (often from other fields or disciplines) that could resolve on the unexpected finding. This stage should be treated like ideation in design processes; variety and volume are desired. 3.

There have been numerous bookspublished in the last decade on design thinking e.g., [7]–[9], usually in a business context.Engineers apply a design process to engineering problems [10]. Industrial designers apply adesign process to a variety of problem types. Even the United States Army has taken up a designprocess in service to operational planning [11].

The first period started in 1956, following a 12-year plan by the State Council of Chinaat the time. The 12-year plan identified computer as one of the six emerging areas of importance.A couple schools, including Tsinghua University and Harbin Institute of Technology, started thecomputing majors in 1956. By the end of 1950s, more than 10 colleges initiated computingmajors. The focus at the time was on designing and building computers, or computing devices.

Observations of the in-class project meetings and out of class meetings of the teams’leaders revealed that students took their roles seriously and played the simulated company as ifthey were real employees.

Through weekly lectures and studio meetings, instructors work with teamsto apply the design tools to their problem and scope of work. While each project is unique,student teams generally follow a similar process, developing concepts and fully designing thefinal concept in the first semester, and developing and executing a validation plan in the secondsemester. The goal of the program is to provide a significant design experience for studentsthrough which they can apply the various theoretical knowledge and analytical skills that theyhave collected in their previous coursework. Since practicing engineers will employ the designprocess repeatedly, the program also seeks to

, creativity is seen as the ability to generate new ideas, either as new ways oflooking at existing problems or of seeing new opportunities, perhaps by exploiting emergingtechnologies or changes in markets [1-4]; as shown in Figure 1, creativity has two phases. Incontrast, innovation is seen as the successful exploitation of new ideas—i.e., it is the process thatcarries new ideas through to new products, new services, new ways of running the business, oreven new ways of doing business [5-7]. By the time we reach our university studies, most of ushave been trained to move quickly from divergent thinking to convergent thinking, so we can findthe best answer or best plan to whatever problem we face.

However, neither of these goals resemble the workof engineers [13].
