UV lamps are a good disinfection tool against COVID, but should not be used whenbuildings are occupied. In a second case study, students are asked to enhance an existing LEDdisplay controller for an open/closed store sign for a small business owner, to include an extramessage to indicate the owner will be back soon.

a scenario where the fresh concrete tests (slump,air content, etc.) show a mixture that is out of specification for the project. Assume that thesample was taken from the middle of the load, so much of the concrete has already been placed.The driver and contractor say that the next trucks will be corrected, that this is typical, and thatthis concrete should be placed rather than rejecting the truck or removing any concrete. From aninexperienced engineer or intern perspective, one might feel at a disadvantage, with thecontractor and workers at the site have significantly more experience. From this perspective, theymight have very limited information, knowing that the specification is meant to ensure “safety tothe public” and that the higher

traditional design-based research process [32], beginning by identifying our final project goals,identifying several means to achieve those goals, developing an initial design, refining the initialdesign, and finalizing our solution.Outlining RequirementsTo start our requirements, we recognized that platform compatibility issues (e.g., Windows orApple for PC users) often restrict the user base. Therefore, we chose a web-based platform toensure our final solution could reach a broader number of users. Further, use of a web-basedplatform aligns with our goal to provide educational tools free to all users. Within LearnPIV.org,we desired to use the benefits of interactive learning. Therefore, we designed LearnPIV.org toprovide an experimental module that

reflectsmy background and prior work. Across the course of several projects in Colorado, USA, myteam and I have studied various aspects of sociotechnical thinking, social justice, andmacroethics among students and faculty affiliated with university-based engineering programs.We have identified both barriers and opportunities associated with integrating these concepts intoengineering classes. For example, [11] examined the ways in which students perceived socialjustice in a required engineering science core course and found that some students valued theways in which such integration could help them to think ahead toward their future careers. In[12], we assessed the intersection of sociotechnical integration in engineering classes andintrinsic

toward intrinsic motivation and more self-determined behavior is aprocess [22]. Building students’ familiarity and curiosity about a topic factors into that process,but is not the only factor. Student situational motivations can shift within a single week related toa single project [23]. Numerous variables can either frustrate or satisfy an students’ basic needfor autonomy and competence which greatly influences to their intrinsic motivation [24].The question in this current study is how much does the instructional format (remote vs. in-person) affect student motivation? Is there a difference in how active, passive, and mixedinstructional methods are received in the different formats? And what are the contributing factorsinfluencing motivation

, explaining to each other what they weredoing and why. These small group patterns also played out in the whole class conversations inboth classrooms. These subtle differences in classroom culture had large impacts on students’identity in science and their participation in scientific practices. Importantly for all of thesepoints, the design of the learning environment is not the only culprit; students must take upelements of the learning environment in their interactions. Design activities are co-constructedbetween the instructor’s choices and the students’ interpretation of them.Participants and Curricular ContextThis study took place within the ConnecTions in the Making project.

We note the difference in the confidence levels, knowledge, and interest in a career inentrepreneurial pathways, between participants like Penny, Gustavo, and Cesar on the one hand,and Ron and Brad on the other. We view this difference as a form of cultural capital, whereformal and informal knowledge of how a particular pathway works is a piece of acculturationthat allows access to that pathway.

However, a study by Bielefeldt applying the PSRDM failed to findsignificant differences among engineering students of different racial/ethnic groups [52].
