Societyfor Engineering Education, 2016).Aiming to capitalize on the benefits that makerspaces bring to formal education institutions, theUniversity of Ottawa opened its own on-campus makerspace in September 2014. The universityintended to create a space that fosters innovation, promote multidisciplinary projects, provideaccess to prototyping facilities, encourage and facilitate students’ entrepreneurship, and providea space for students to realize their designs and acquire and practice new skills, and knowledge.The makerspace adopted a business model that granted free access to all students on campus, anddedicated Sundays to community engagement. Through exposure to the makerspace and otherdesign spaces, students can collaborate with like-minded
reflection focusing on the similarityand differences in the responses. The assignment was designed with user variation in mind tochallenge the students’ notion of universal users and universal design. To encourage reflectionabout student responses in comparison to their chosen participants' responses, students wereprompted to respond to the following open-ended questions: What designs shared common understandings? What designs differed in the responses? What else did you notice?For purposes of analysis, the reflective responses from each first-year engineering cohort (Fall2019, Fall 2020, and Fall 2021) were combined, resulting in a sample size of 99 students. Datawere coded and analyzed utilizing inductive qualitative content

As part of a larger and longitudinal nationwide study that constructs groundedtheories to explain professional identity development (PID) processes in undergraduate AECwomen, the purpose is to examine the lived experiences of first-year AEC women. Usingpurposive sampling, 40 AEC women from five institutions completed surveys with open-endedquestions about salient first year experiences. Also, resumes and academic transcripts wereobtained. Adopting the grounded theory approach and constant comparative analysis, data wasanalyzed using the NVivo Qualitative Analysis software for coding, categorization, and themedevelopment.Data analysis reveals a critical question on the minds of first-year AEC women: Is this

A third studentpointed out that ‘Being part of an interdisciplinary team and working with a well renownedengineering company has been an incredible experience. Putting together an engineering changepackage really took me out of the solving textbook problems mind set.’ These comments highlightthe benefits of team work and communication between inter-disciplinary teams. 15.

instructors to assess that students have enoughknowledge to pass onto the next stage, avoiding the risk of having external factors thatmight help students excessively [1]. A problem of traditional exams is that they cangenerate an excess of stress and anxiety on students, reducing their academicperformance [2]–[5]. It is common to have students complain after exams, explainingthat their performance was bad because their minds went blank [1]. However, forengineering students, most of the exams are traditional (individual, time-limited, closed-book). This is even the case in post-graduation exams such as the fundamentals ofengineering and the professional engineering exam [6].From early courses (e.g., math, chemistry, physics) in engineering programs
definitions relate more to “agrowth-oriented perspective through which individuals promote flexibility, creativity, continuousinnovation, and renewal” [7, pp. 968]. What these definitions have in common is that EM relatesto a person’s ability to react to changes and capitalize on opportunity. The Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) attempts to tie together these varying definitions of EM using the3C’s—curiosity, connections, and creating value—which encourages individuals to look forsolutions outside of the boundaries of technical engineering [8]. Recent economic trends suggestthat innovation and entrepreneurship are the key to economic growth, thus a moreentrepreneurially minded engineer is demanded in the workforce [1]. The role of a

Kevin reported: “So definitely more about the engineering design process and really how it relates to something as simple as 3D printing. I think I always looked at engineering as this field of mathematics and science that I could never be a part of. Because I always struggled with science. And I don't know if it was just the teacher or the concepts. But I just knew and had this built in my mind that I'm not good at science. And so as engineering and with the advancement of technology and computer programming, and just seeing how companies and organizations are bringing it into the school setting, I
