significant attention in CE education programs because that KSA set isaddressed during the Engineer Intern process. That is and broadly speaking, formaleducation stresses analysis and, while it may include some creativity/innovation content,creativity/innovation are learned as part of design during the pre-licensure experience.My career includes three decades in full-time private and public practice. Informed bythat experience, I know that many Engineer Interns will receive at least modest designassignments. However, those tasks will tend to be carried out in a conventional mannerusing algorithmic approaches largely devoid of creativity/innovation expectations

Regarding the former, I described to Lauren my hope that the reflection activity we discussed helped the learners inquestion—graduate students interested in engineering education—relate their experiences in an onlineworkshop to prior experiences and knowledge about engineering education, as well as to anticipatedexperiences in their academic careers. Ideally, learners would gain more from the online workshopexperiences by understanding them in this larger temporal context. What I am calling integration in the person is another
the E4 Project, which examines the impact of two engineeringcurricula on students’ learning about engineering and science, as well as their interests in andattitudes towards careers in science and engineering. One of the two curricula is EiE, and is thefocus of the present study; the present study does not include data from the other curriculum. TheE4 Project is currently in its second of two data collection years, with data pertinent to thepresent study collected during and after the completion of the first year (2013 - 2014). E4 Project recruitment began by disseminating project flyers through state, district, andschool level channels within the Massachusetts, Maryland and North Carolina regions.
