. However, traditional classroom activities emphasizewell-defined problems and encourage students to manipulate abstract symbols such as physics ormathematical formulas to identify solutions. Such reliance on abstract operation, along withhaving little experience of concrete modeling through embodied and prototyping techniques, hasled students to face great challenges when entering engineering programs2. Therefore, middleschool students need increased exposure to engineering design experiences that transform their“habit of the mind”—from fixating on thinking-before-prototyping towards prototyping-to-think.In this study, we structured a toy design workshop to provide hands on and engaging designactivities for middle school students, to help them

The structure and activities provided participants with a unique opportunity toexperience a week as an engineering undergraduate student both academically and socially.Interactive lessons and the group project introduced students to engineering problems and currentproblems engineers (hydraulic fracturing) are working to solve.

technical versus non-technical course choiceallocations. Perhaps an unstated bias exists that choice equates to less “rigor,” and so theunintended message to students of differential choice in technical versus non-technicalcoursework may be that knowledge and courses in non-technical subjects are comparativelyunimportant. Values are inherent in engineering design; so just as the technical content of anengineering program is (hopefully) carefully scaffolded, “the same intentionality and evaluationshould be undertaken for the liberal component of a student’s undergraduate experience.”6Though some choice is necessary, too much choice can be detrimental;29 thus, providing choicein a balanced manner is essential.

. First, the project focuses on faculty community, rather thanexternal communities such as companies or local residential communities. The definition ofcommunity we adopted is not just in a physical location, but in an organizational location, in “thecooperation in labor, order and management,” (Tönnies, 2000, p. 43). This is important in ourconsideration of community of engagement, as we go beyond physical boundaries, such as thosebetween university and its wider locale, to cognitive boundaries, such as those within and amonguniversity colleges and departments. It is with this in mind that we define engagement andengaged communities. Second, it expands the definitions and model of community engagementby highlighting how engineering faculty

As a result, final products were much more innovativeand creative in nature than ideas presented at the beginning of the class. Students recognized theimportance of the challenges they faced (group dynamics, work dynamics, distaste for the coursedesign and overwhelming amount of group work, etc.) in moving through the creative designprocess.With that in mind, we look to student reflections, specifically those of the engineering students,to identify strategies that contribute to creative practice and to help students

Goals and DescriptionsProgram GoalsOur engineering school is committed to creating leaders who thrive at acquiring and applying theknowledge required to solve global challenges. Using a variety of innovative programs andcourses, we teach engineers to tackle large, complex problems using a human-centered designprocess. These programs and courses emphasize real-world experience and outcomes, and ourstudents, from first-year to graduate students, deliver solutions to real clients while consideringsocial context and impact. Our programs teach students how to better serve society, and byoffering such opportunities, we help retain socially-minded students within engineering. Ourcurrent initiatives include efforts to not only add depth to our programs
