1. Prof. Seda McKIlligan http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7446-3380 Iowa State University [biography]

   Dr. Yilmaz is an Assistant Professor of Industrial Design. She teaches design studios and lecture courses on developing creativity and research skills. Her current research focuses on identifying impacts of different factors on ideation of designers and engineers and developing instructional materials to foster a more effective ideation process. She often conducts workshops on design thinking to a diverse range of groups including students, practitioners and faculty members from different universities. She received her PhD degree in Design Science in 2010 from University of Michigan. She is also a faculty in Human Computer Interaction Graduate Program and the ISU Site Director for Center for e-Design.

2. Dr. Shanna R. Daly http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4698-2973 University of Michigan [biography]

   Shanna Daly is an Assistant Research Scientist and Adjunct Assistant Professor in Engineering Education in at the University of Michigan. She has a B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton (2003) and a Ph.D. in Engineering Education from Purdue University (2008). Her research focuses on strategies for design innovations through divergent and convergent thinking as well as through deep needs and community assessments using design ethnography, and translating those strategies to design tools and education. She teaches design and entrepreneurship courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on front-end design processes.

3. Prof. Colleen M. Seifert University of Michigan [biography]

   Colleen M. Seifert is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan, where she has taught since 1988. She received her Ph.D. in Cognitive Science and psychology at Yale University. She was an ASEE postdoctoral fellow at the University of California – San Diego and the Navy Personnel Research Development Center. Her research interests center on learning, memory, and creativity.

4. Prof. Richard Gonzalez University of Michigan [biography]

   PhD, Stanford University in Psychology. Studies decision making, applied statistics and mathematical modeling in psychology.

5. Dr. Colin M. Gray http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7307-1550 Iowa State University [biography]

   Colin M. Gray is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Iowa State University in the Center for e-Design. He holds a PhD in Instructional Systems Technology from Indiana University Bloomington, a MEd in Educational Technology from University of South Carolina, and a MA in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art & Design. He has worked as an art director, contract designer, and trainer, and his continued involvement in design work informs his research on design activity and how it is learned. His research focuses on the role of student experience in informing a critical design pedagogy, and the ways in which the pedagogy and underlying studio environment inform the development of design thinking, particularly in relation to critique and professional identity formation in STEM disciplines. His work crosses multiple disciplines, including engineering education, instructional design and technology, design theory and education, and human-computer interaction.
