These difficulties stem, in part, from the fact that team projects in pre-capstonecourses do not prepare students for what is required in capstone.

Specifically, we adopted part of the well-known instrumentdeveloped by Erin Cech to assess how students perceived public welfare beliefs. An importantgoal of replicating Cech’s work is to examine whether students from a different cohort (i.e., 18years after the cohort in Cech’s study, and from a more specialized institution than those inCech’s study) hold different public welfare beliefs.

AbstractBrainstorming is a crucial component of the engineering design process and the activities andconversations that take place during conceptual ideation can have significant downstream impactson the design process and influence the outcomes of the overall project. While researchers havefocused on the outcomes of brainstorming and the ideas that student teams generate, the role ofdiscourse and conversation during these activities remains relatively underexplored. The purposeof this paper is to provide a codebook that can be used to analyze the discourse of engineeringteams during conceptual brainstorming activities. The use of discourse analysis can offer a deeperunderstanding of how engineering students interact with one another, and the ways different

In addition, the field of engineering education isrecognizing the need to challenge students to engage with the intersections between technologyand societal concerns. Mazzurco for instance details the need for greater emphasis on “long termtechnical” considerations, an area that students often omit from view.
