for students to developtheir design self-efficacy, ability to innovate, and creativity in design.This paper focuses on characterizing university maker space’s users and non-users in terms oftheir engineering design self-efficacy. The results presented in this paper are part of alongitudinal study and will be used to measure the impact of these unique learning environmentson the students’ engineering design self-efficacy over time. To have a clear definition betweenmaker space users and non-users, a survey was developed and implemented to capture astudent’s level of participation. Concurrently, a survey instrument designed by Carberry et al.(2010) was used to gather the student’s engineering design self-efficacy scores. Both surveyswere used

theimpact of PFX on students’ prototyping awareness.    In this study, students at a large Mid-Atlantic university were taught three prototyping lensesbased on the PFX methodology: (1) Prototyping for Viability, (2) Prototyping for Feasibility, and(3) Prototyping for Desirability. This paper presents preliminary findings on the relationshipbetween these three prototyping lenses and students’ prototyping awareness, which we define asstudents’ ability to identify their mental models during the prototyping process. We useprototyping awareness as a proxy to measure adoption and implementation of PFX methods. ThePrototyping AWareness Scale, or PAWS was created for this study, and we discuss its internalconsistency and future iterations. Data were

The authors noted that thechoice of project had a pivotal role in the student experience, with overly challenging orunconstrained projects having a negative impact on student interest in engineering.In an effort to acquaint freshmen with the various areas of mechanical engineering at TheCitadel, Rabb et al.12 modified an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course to combineindividual and teamwork projects and assignments, many of which were small, hands-onactivities.

40 different makerspacesshows that makerspaces have an opportunity to revolutionize the current educational system byproviding an extracurricular means for students to engage in more hands-on projects and developa large range of the skills that are currently being underdeveloped. This project is a collaborationacross Georgia Tech, Texas State – San Marcos, and James Madison University to measure theimpact that makerspaces have on engineering idea generation skills, design self-efficacy,retention and minority/female engagement.The Invention Studio at Georgia Tech provides a large pool of engineers in training for study, asit is used by students enrolled in over 25 different courses and numerous other students who justwant to build things for
