. Aaron W. Johnson, University of Michigan Aaron W. Johnson (he/him) is an Assistant Professor in the Aerospace Engineering Department and a Core Faculty member of the Engineering Education Research Program at the University of Michigan. His lab’s design-based research focuses on how to re-contextualize engineering science engineering courses to better reflect and prepare students for the reality of ill-defined, sociotechnical engineering practice. Their current projects include studying and designing classroom interventions around macroethical issues in aerospace engineering and the productive beginnings of engineering judgment as students create and use mathematical models.

A common theme from thesearticles is that students find it tricky to identify and access GL, and they are eager to learn theseskills. Librarians need to be equipped to help our patrons and therefore need to be well-versed inhow to find and access these resources as well.In 2001, at a moment when the internet was drastically revolutionizing how people produced anddisseminated GL materials, Thompson provided a set of key strategies for finding a number ofdifferent formats of commonly used GL, such as technical reports, standards, militaryspecifications and

Rather than requiring students to provide answers to learning prompts, KS requirestudents to rate their ability to perform the specified skill tied to a learning objective. Pre-courseor pre-unit of instruction KS allow faculty to discern prior knowledge students may bring to thecourse while serving as a cognitive “heads up” for students of learning objectives and material tocome [10]. KS completed in close proximity to an assessment event (e.g., exam, design project,or writing assignment) allow faculty to compare students’ self-assessments of learning with theirown assessments of student learning (i.e., the grade on the assignment).

Dot product to determine the angle between two vectors7. Dot product to compute the projection of a force onto a lineThe authors created paper-based learning activities in the form of guided inquiry [19] to addresseach of the concepts.

Forinstance, if I am to help design or work on robots in the future, I will already have a certain skillset that may provide me with competent preparation or readiness. Not only will this prove moreefficient, as I already have a grasp on either the basics or the majority of the process ofcompleting the project, but this may also allow me to choose between different technicalapproaches to completing challenging tasks.

Players are not merelypresented with abstract right or wrong choices; instead, they must employ personal reasoning andcontext-dependent justifications in their decision-making process. Each game segment concludeswith a pivotal decision, influencing the storyline and leading to various potential endings. Marsis novel in its approach to teaching engineering ethics.

Makerspaces are informal, opt-in STEM (science,technology, engineering, mathematics) spaces and are increasingly recognized for their potentialto increase student access to and engagement with STEM (e.g., Martin, 2015, Roldan et al.,2018, Wilkczynski et al, 2019). Over the past two decades, research has highlighted the benefitsof makerspaces, including engineering specific skills, such as prototyping, supporting studentdesign projects, entrepreneurship, and innovation, (Forest et al., 2014; Wilczynski et al., 2016
