N2 - Design thinking (DT), strategies from engineering and business for designing, is gaining traction in education. However, little attention has been paid to how design heuristics and techniques may be domain dependent, particularly in cases where the designed artifacts address epistemic goals in disciplinary communities. In addition, authentically engaging in DT strategies may be challenging in classrooms where outcomes are focused not on students' novel solutions but acquisition of canonical content. This paper describes why we might anticipate DT to be generative outside of engineering and business contexts, and why we might anticipate that disciplines will have unique strategies for design as well. We present one case of a design generated by undergraduate students in scientific inquiry, with a focus on how design problems emerge and challenges and successes students meet in designing solutions.
