A fourthculture, consisting of engineering and technology, has adopted the concept of affordances to helpclarify the intricacies of product design and reverse engineering (disassembling something tofigure out how it works). It is the contention of the authors that the field of engineering hasimportant points to contribute to these conversations. Engineering is often confused with science,or

knowledge is traditionally gained practically in educationallaboratories1. Initiated in 1997, the Multidisciplinary Engineering Laboratory Sequence (MEL)at the Colorado School of Mines was created to provide students with a foundation inengineering fundamentals, skills to adapt to rapidly changing technology, and an aptitude forlife-long learning2. MEL’s educational objectives have been focused on experiments that spanmultiple disciplines, extend knowledge, and cultivate teamwork and leadership. From thebeginning there were challenges to delivering a uniform curriculum. Instructors wrestle with a“hands-off” approach versus a traditional explain-all-the-steps approach to successfully developa student’s cognition (instrumentation and data analysis

Community Colleges (CCs): While some of the communitycollege growth has leveled in the last two years, the nation has seen a tremendous growth in thepast 15 years in this sector. Currently, community colleges serve more first generation collegestudents, those who are traditionally underrepresented in science technology, engineering andmath (STEM) and others with financial needs. According to the American Council ofCommunity Colleges, full time enrollment in CCs remain stable, with approximately 8,000,000students enrolled full time, yet part time enrollment is on the rise.5 Importantly, communitycolleges in the state in which this research is being conducted enroll 2.6 million annually,roughly 32.5% of the entire sector, and therefore such community

, engineering is more oftenassociated with math and science and “things” rather than people19. Engineers are also associatedwith poor social skills and jobs that are nearly entirely technical15. These associations can makeit hard for some students to see themselves as engineers. For example, Du5 notes that theprofessional identity of an engineer is associated with technology and mechanical ability, thusaligning engineering with the male gender. This alignment is reinforced by the long history ofprimarily male engineers. This restrictive definition of what an engineer is can make it harder formany students (especially women and students of color) who are interested in engineering toidentify with engineering.Identity development depends on two factors

Use of screen-capturing and other video capturing software is becoming the normin higher education for supplementing traditional lectures [3-5]. Engineering programs havebecome vanguards in this adoption; as engineering courses are both content-rich and move at afast pace, there is a place for supplemental material to better emphasize difficult concepts [6].
