10-15 minutes to act out. Immediately after a scene, everyone gives feedback to the HSRP on his/her performance, for example, what they did well, i.e., “shine” behaviors vs. not well, i.e., “polish” behavior. Part C takes place during the fall semester, in which students submit a series of assignments (Table 2) and receive feedback from instructors via an online learning management platform (Canvas). Most of the assignments are designed to help students with their Capstone projects: a required final course of this graduate program, in which they must individually conductevidence-based research, identify, and solve an industrial problem that would bring significantimpact to an organization.

The five research questions are: (1) What professional competencies do alumniidentify as most developed through their EWB-USA experiences as undergraduates? (2) What isthe nature of how undergraduate participation in EWB-USA may bridge the experiences offormal post-secondary engineering education and professional practice?

, photovoice, weexamined the experiences of four sophomore students enrolled in gateway engineering coursesthat have had historically low pass rates. The guiding research questions for this in-progressproject were: 1) Using photovoice, how do sophomore-level engineering students describe theirexperiences as they progress through their sophomore-level courses? 2) How do theseexperiences impact their engineering identities?Our literature review which focused on engineering identity and the ways it has been measured,especially through role identity constructs [3] influenced the study’s inception, design, andanalyses. We found a dearth of literature that focused on engineering identity under variouscontexts. For example, while previous research has

Most of these studies, however,targeted graduate, undergraduate, or high school students, and little research has focusedspecifically on younger children. Meanwhile, research on children’s engineering design anddesign thinking (e.g., [22]) and related motivation constructs, such as identity or attitude (e.g.,[23]), has increased in the past few years. Often featuring hands-on, project-based tasks andlearning experiences, engineering design activities provide opportunities for children to work onreal-world challenges using engineering tools and materials within contexts that focus onproblem-solving and systems
