Abstract

Addressing complex, ill-defined problems is core to engineering practice and requires competencies in design. In order to train engineering graduates appropriately, we need to understand ways to support their growth from novice to informed designers. Within experiential learning settings, such support can be characterized as just-in-time improvisational design coaching attuned to the specific situation. This work-in-progress paper presents a prototype design coach playbook structure for use by instructors in such environments as well as its application through three preliminary scenarios. The playbook structure is designed to serve as an instructor reflective tool to illuminate challenging concepts for students and then to facilitate identification and implementation of best practices to help students work through the challenges they face. Information is shared in this paper to prompt feedback as we progress in developing this framework and pursue opportunities to utilize it with a wider community of engineering design educators.
