We conclude by examining whether andhow participant decision-making exhibits ways of thinking that are common across these threedomains.Engineering CommitmentsBecause the lessons observed were a part of an engineering design curriculum, it is not surprisingthat engineering commitments were used the most often in the participants’ work. In particular,three of the common engineering commitments emerged as most relevant and useful for theseparticipants: attention to design requirements and constraints; attention to user needs; anddeveloping a practical solution. We saw little evidence of the remaining

The course learning objectives serve a few purposes, but mostimportantly they can act as an important guide for course development. Curriculum design,including choosing which content to include and in which order, should follow the objectivesvery closely. Clearly articulated objectives allow for straightforward prioritization of topics andallotment of time in the course.Furthermore, the choice

Theseinclude, but are not limited to, curriculum placement, class time, content expertise of teachers,and assessment1. Often time limitations force simultaneous teaching or integration of design,engineering, and technology in science courses.

Adjuncts typically are “offthe radar screen” of the Dean and Chair, hence receive minimal feedback except from students intheir classes. Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions. Supto recommends that “every adjunct shouldhave a full-time faculty member assigned as an advocate and resource” but this often isn’t thecase1. Adjuncts are often left to fend for themselves.Departments and faculty may want to do an excellent job of teaching undergraduates, yet it isoften the lack of resources and not
