Although the material from the Studying Engineering6 book wasdiscussed throughout the semester, there were many times the students were disconnected fromthe concepts and felt it did not apply to them. To try and remedy this issue, the class structurewill allow the students to take more control of the activities while also learning about positionsthey may hold in a student club. An example is that a group of students would be on a socialcommittee. This group would then be in charge of any social activities involving the ENGR 204class, such as

better bandage for an application of their choice. Each groupof students defined the need/problem, designed a solution, pitched their solution to potentialinvestors, purchased materials from a supply store, tested their prototype, and demonstrated theirprototype. At the end of the activity, it was revealed that the supply store had charged each groupdifferent prices for materials to simulate different allocation of resources. The students engagedin discussion of the technical aspects of their designs as well as the financial, ethical, and societalconsiderations that must be considered when designing solutions in global health.Central Dogma of BiologyThis module introduced basic principles of genetics and the mechanisms of DNA replication

The selections were,EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey, QBQ! The Question behind the Question by John Miller, andIt Worked for Me by Colin Powell, and roundtable discussions were held during the first seminarof the spring semester.The Pathway Scholars were also incorporated into the formalized College Peer Mentor Trainingprogram that was held in two, five-hour sessions. This training covered a variety of topics andactivities to prepare them as mentor to incoming students and develop leadership.Advising Meetings & CommunicationsThe Pathway Scholars were required to meet with a staff member from

activity theory perspective, we explored how the interactions -- specifically theways students used the behaviors, language, gestures and visual elements -- have helped us tobegin to answer the question: How were teams exhibiting the same behaviors creating different team environments?Combining the data from both the video recordings and the SRIs, we observed what we havelabelled ‘togethering’-- “an analytical category that accounts for the ethical manner in whichindividuals engage, respond, and tune to each other, despite their cognitive, emotional, and otherdifferences”21 -- as the differentiating factor across these teams.“Togethering is not the result of some social contract or norms evolved

often considered when a student isenrolled in a traditional classroom with already somewhat known outcomes, like mechanicalengineering or biology. Being the first cohort in a newly created program that differs fromtraditional education on both systemic and individual levels may create additional fears andconcerns about both the immediate, and the distant future.Changing Expectations for Preparing Engineering ProfessionalsEmployers overwhelmingly demand that graduates be innovators; proficient at written and oralcommunication; have the ability to solve complex problems in a real-world setting; have a broadskill-set; and that they demonstrate ethical judgment and integrity, intercultural skills, and thecapacity for continued new learning [16

to develop a critique of the epistemologicaland axiological assumptions and privileges of educators, scholars and studentswho engage with communities that exist on the margins. I argue that asstudents, teachers, and researchers, we equate the minds of those who occupyeconomic and social margins with the possession of marginal intellect whenwe set out to help or aid them without recognizing the validity of andvalorizing their ways of knowing. Learning how members of socially andeconomically marginalized communities apply their minds, mouths, handsand feet to solve locally occurring problems may help us interrogate ourscholarly, pedagogical, and ethical objectives in a more reflexive manner.

Although I attempted to act ethically as an unbiased researcher throughoutthis research process, I would still like to clarify any potential errors that may have occurred.First and foremost, I acknowledge that my participation in the group and in the video analyzedcould obscure my analysis. Though I attempted to “observe” the teachers’ fifty-minute planningsession post hoc, from video, allowing me to step away somewhat from the context of myfeelings and motivations during the session, I recognize that this observation is limited

Unfortunately, in practice 49,50 the BMC is notwell equipped for entrepreneurship in fields where there are high barriers to entry. Experimentationand “failing forward” works well in markets that are fluid, have low regulatory and manufacturingbarriers, and few ethical questions. But most mature markets, which compose the vast majority ofpositions available to entry level engineers, are not of this type. The airline, automobile, medicaldevice, chemical processing, food, agriculture and biotechnology industries cannot adopt a “failforward” attitude. In fact, in
modify their ownstereotypes of community college students is to invite them to review the students’ transcriptsand application packets, on which our staff has already noted the completed math and sciencecourses. Often, the students have taken courses that provide an exposure to the discipline,providing more background than the mentors expected. Even in cases where math and sciencebackground was lacking, the mentors were able to review their transcripts and gain knowledge ofwork ethics, problem-solving abilities, and intellectual curiosity from the courses taken, GPA’s,and grades. Some mentors, although not impressed particularly with the transcripts, wanted toprovide the students an opportunity they may not otherwise be given to grow and
