This is supported in some of the comments extracted fromstudents’ reflective diaries:“My strengths are the lab 1’s, I enjoy these and have no issues as I work through theworkbook. I also find my sketching a strong point as I am confident enough to try anythingeven if I make a mess of it ill still try again and give it another go.” Student 8 (Male) – Pre-Test

An example of a lesson that integrated all three key MS-ETS1-3 elements was thesuggestion for students to “test several different bridge designs to figure out which one is able tosupport the most weight . . . [and] from these tests they could assemble a new design using themost effective shape, material(s), and method of construction.” Alternatively, a lesson that didnot address any of these three elements was the simple suggestion of having students constructscale models of playground equipment.Table 4.

a) The weight of the new chassis is still heavier than the original fuel cell car, which reduces run time. b) The fuel cell car`s maneuverability is limited by the size of the chassis and the type and number of sensors. c) Running time is still short (2 minute approximately) so it would be beneficial to increase this. d) New fuel cell car requires twice as much fuel in order to maintain original run times.The case activities, course concepts and report due dates were planned for five stages,summarized in Table 2. Ultimately, the students recommended design improvements for the nextversion of the chassis based on the case activity results. Students worked in teams of five andcompleted

Recognizing and acknowledging that a “monoculture” is embeddeddeeply in the engineering education system may not be easy for those of us who are engineeringeducators and researchers. McIntosh points out that such a monoculture mirrors that of the USsocial system, not merely by what she calls “active forms” of interlocking oppressions, but moredeeply—in embedded forms—forms which “member[s] of the dominant group are taught not tosee”9

Third, time to graduation was consideredonly at the final degree granting institution. Therefore, further exploration about the amount oftime that transfer students have spent at their initial institution(s) is necessary in order to accountfor total time to graduation. Fourth, some factors that could be investigated here are the slope ofhow fast they graduate from the degree granting institution which is an indicator oftransferability of courses that
