We show that this form of designing requires reasoning about complex, real world phenomena, using multiple and multi-modal representations, manipulated and integrated throughout the designing process. We describe the interactions observed between the reasoning processes, to derive implications for integrating HSS with engineering curricular practices.falseengineering cognition | humanities for engineering education | model-based reasoning in design | socio-technical reasoningConference Paper138-14920240cpConference Proceeding
