case studies. TheSET was created to aid educators in integrating socially engaged engineering and design contentin their courses, helping students develop these important skills. C-SED offers multiplemodalities for integrating SET content into courses, including asynchronous online modules andin-person facilitated lessons tailored to a particular course focus. Prior research has demonstratedthat the SET modules can support students in adopting recommended practices from eachmodule (Lee et al., 2023, 2024; Loweth et al., 2020).In this study, we investigated how the SET materials were applied by students as they engaged ina real-world engineering project in their capstone course. Data were collected from studentreflections on how SET modules

These open-ended design courses are presented as a transitional step betweenstudent’s academic and professional engineering careers [1], [2].By understanding and improving student engagement in design activities within capstonecourses, educators can develop and solidify students’ engineering design skills and better preparethem for the transition into workplaces [3]. Little research has been done on the factorsimpacting student engagement in capstone design courses.Summary of project objectives and research methods:Similarly to our results from Year One [4] and Two [5] this study

]. Arguably, transfer of learning to new situations constitutes a core goal of education. Yetdecades of research have demonstrated that transfer of problem-solving strategies rarely happens spontaneously, and ishard to teach [4,13]. In the current project, we propose to address the transfer challenge by focusing on students’ roleidentity and motivation: the complex processes that underlie students’ decision to transfer and enact certain actionslearned in a previous role (e.g., Biodesign student) in a new role (e.g., capstone student).The Motivation to Transfer: The literature on student motivation includes numerous theories and multiple concepts thatdiffer in their emphasis on and interplay of different personal characteristics (e.g., grit, growth

We present the initial findings on student perceptions from ayear-long introductory engineering course that employs low-cost makerspace technologies, suchas 3D printing, Arduino, Python programming, and virtual reality, in project-based experiencesto enhance foundational engineering skills. In the first semester students receive instruction inbasic math and physics to supplement those introductory courses as well as comprehensivetraining in how to use 3D design software, operate 3D printers, program circuits, write basiccode in Python and interact within VR environments, culminating in a capstone projectexperience. In the second semester, students apply these

Students are also responsible for publishing theirmodules on a public-facing, freely accessible website [7].Project ContextThe project was implemented into a unique aspect of our university’s curriculum, an equivalent toa capstone experience called ‘engineering clinics’ [8]. Clinics encompass four semesters of two-credit courses exclusive to junior and senior-level students. Each clinic is a unique, oftenmultidisciplinary project supervised by engineering faculty that can be either short or long-term.Students indicate the projects they are interested in and are assigned to projects through a project-matching algorithm [9].
