This study contributes to our understanding of the social and communication processes that affect students' engagement in design work. We examine ethical considerations in a multidisciplinary design projects as students work through the challenges of team collaboration and struggle to integrate the ethical and technical aspects of engineering work. We use a mixed methods approach to investigate how...
Engineering and science education is on a trajectory in which core domain knowledge is complemented by the economic and human dimensions of technology. Adding these dimensions can attract a broader range of students to technical careers while also producing more socially conscious innovators. There is growing interest in learning models that can combine technology and community engagement for exposing...
In this paper, we describe our process for creating a design task to assess students' understanding of human-centered design. The development process involved conducting a series of pilot tests, with analyses of the data from each prior pilot motivating revisions made to the next versions of the assessment design task. This paper is a formative look at the seven iterations of the design task that...
Developing a human-centered approach to design is vital to appropriately preparing graduates for the globally competitive workplace. An important facet of education is assessment. We are developing a design task to assess students' skills in doing, feelings toward, and knowledge about human-centered design. This assessment tool could be used not only by educators, but also by researchers to characterize...
