disposition. Dr. Lim and colleagues are currently developing, testing, and refining a survey instrument to assess students’ impulsive-analytic disposition. They have been investigating instructional strategies, such as use of prediction items and classroom vot- ing with clicker technology, to help students become aware of their impulsivity and to elicit and address mathematical misconceptions. Dr. Lim is also exploring the use of mathematical tasks to provoke stu- dents’ intellectual need for the concepts they are expected to learn. Lately, Dr. Lim has been involved in the iMPaCT-Math project to investigate the use of programming activities to foster student learning of foundational algebraic concepts.Mrs. Sharie Kranz

Auburn University’s department ofComputer Science and Software Engineering started computer clubs in the elementary schools atthe 3rd, 4th and 5th grade levels.

Instruction modes need to allow studentsto grow as critical thinkers with proficiency in learning, and in creative problemsolving for increasingly complex and uncertain engineering environments.For example, students are shown to learn more effectively when actively involvedin the learning process11, and such active learning strategies promote higher orderthinking. As a result, several non-traditional learning approaches, such as project-,problem-, or case studies-based learning, have been developed and applied inengineering courses. These approaches allow students

As a result, engineering can still be viewed as only a careeror as a way to incorporate building projects in after school programs or when time allows. Thereis a temptation to define engineering simply as an approach to solving problems with nospecialized knowledge or to define it as the various fields of study that college and universityprograms offer. The state of North Carolina has chosen to take a different view and to define theknowledge and skills associated with engineering from kindergarten through high school for allstudents, similar to the way that mathematics

Thistheory suggests that a variety of factors contribute to career choices. Of particularly importancein the SCCT model is the role of self-efficacy beliefs. In accordance with SCCT, self-efficacybeliefs are an individual’s beliefs with regard to their capability to succeed in a particular career6 , in this case engineering. People with positive self-efficacy beliefs regarding engineering aremore likely to pursue a career in engineering. However, before we can begin to understandengineering self-efficacy beliefs as they relate to career choice, we must understand what itmeans to be an engineer what types of
