haspreviously used, it is important to evaluate its effectiveness. To do this, the department initiallyplanned to enlist the aid of external evaluators to conduct a formal assessment. Howeveranticipated funding to support this effort did not materialize, so a rigorous evaluation has not yetbeen performed. Additionally, the desire to draw any clear conclusions regarding itseffectiveness is also hampered by the small sample size. To date, only four cohorts – a total of84 students including those who are currently enrolled – have taken this class. And since thestudents from the first cohort have yet to graduate, the full impact of this pedagogy on theiracademic careers is just now being assessed. More data must be collected and a morecomprehensive

writing flexible programs (or “functions” or“scripts”). Many seem much more comfortable using software to solve what they tend to viewas separate, standalone problems. When they move from one problem to the next, many seem toview it as a time to start over from scratch. Of course, the students in the course are mechanicaland civil engineers, and not students who are preparing for a computer programming career.However, it seems for them to be efficient in their careers, they need to consider methods forautomating tasks when appropriate. It is hoped that the experience with this project will benefitsome students by prompting them to think about how to automate repetitive tasks

hypotheses represent the very beginnings of a multi-year study in whichstudents’ and teachers’ responses to and reflections on design failures in the classroom areinvestigated as part of the aforementioned E4 Project.Study Context & Participants The E4 Project examines the impact of two engineering curricula on children’sengineering learning, science learning, interest in and attitudes towards careers in science and Page 24.980.10engineering. Also investigated within this larger study are teachers’ conceptions aboutengineering and science instruction, and their fidelity of implementation of assigned curricula.  This larger study is in
