and gaining leadership experience. Also, peer mentors thought it was a funthing to do. Some wanted to give back and signed up because they cared about the success oftheir peers and younger students, and it was a good way to meet other people. Once selected, the peer mentors created a one-paragraph bio that included interestsoutside of class. The bios of all the peer mentors were then shared with all of the incomingfirst-year students. Next, a preference survey was sent out to all the first-year students to indicatewhich peer mentor(s) they were interested in being paired with. In the survey, it was noted thatthese groups were not intended to be groups of majors (i.e., all mechanical engineers), but ratherstudents were encouraged to

(CEAS), the Integrated Teaching and LearningProgram (ITLP) emerged in the 1990’s from student demand and with college recognition thatattrition was a concern. At the time, CU offered hands-on experiences only in select junior- orsenior-design courses. “‘From an engineering perspective, lab classes are good because they giveyou a feeling for what you’re learning, and if you’re a visual learner, ITLP can help you learnfaster and better,’ said Eric Peers, an electrical and computer engineering senior,” who chairedthe student movement to launch more access to hands-on learning [28]. Envisioning an approachthat was more targeted for specific populations was not yet on the table.Improved student retention and satisfaction were early ITLP outcomes [29

pedagogical intervention offered rich dividends,particularly in learning about decision-making. It was also evident that the perception ofincorporating research design and critical thinking expanded the student’s imagination of thesignificance of such skills in engineering education. However, more research needs to takeplace on how leadership skills can be developed even as decision-making and criticalthinking are taught. There needs to be further inquiry into what counts as leadership amongstengineers, and how these skills can be included through further pedagogical interventionswithin engineering education.References[1] M.

For example, understanding particle behavior (i.e., dryflow, aggregation and agglomeration) at a mass scale is crucial to the safety and improvement ofstorage, transport and manufacturing processes [3].Despite calls since the 1990’s to increase the availability of a uniform particle sciencecurriculum, little progress has been made in integrating particle science into the currentengineering curriculum—resulting in a limited number of engineers trained in the field [1].Within the United States, particle science courses are sparse and lack uniformity within thematerials and

Wewill also explore how our makerspace definitions can intersect with existing work on definingmore forms of participation in making to include more social practices (e.g., [9], [19]).ConclusionThe knowledge and collaborative assistance aspect of makerspaces, as evidenced by the frequentuse of terms like “people,” “know,” “go,” “things,” “stuff,” “help,” and “engineering” in bothmen’s and womxn’s text, suggests a common theme of individuals going to
