original ideas, including those on cognitive conflict triggering learning in children werefurther elaborated and expanded by various learning scientists and applied to K–12 as well as col-lege education. For instance, Doise and Mugny 4 conducted various studies about how cognitiveconflict impacts learning. Their work showed that the other learner(s) who held the conflictingviews did not need to be physically present, as long as the learners in question saw the conflictingviews as being those of peers. While triggering cognitive conflict is possible even without en-gaging with peers (e.g., via refutation text 5 instead), combining it with peer-interaction has majoradvantages. First, interaction with peers encourages the student to verbalize the

because when an engineer frames a problem, s/he gainsownership of the problem; having such ownership affirms her/his identity as an engineer. Thus,we sought to connect student assets to problem framing as a means to support a growth mindsetwherein diverse students view themselves as already having the capabilities to participate in thedesign process.Next stepsThere have been calls for more research specifically looking at how, when and why certaingroups—including Hispanics and Native Americans—initially choose and then persist inengineering.8 This research begins to address this call. Simply identifying engineering assets andnot acting on them will do little to change student persistence. This study represents a first step ina longer research

The only fabricated com-ponent of this CNC machine is the modular block itself. All other components can be readilypurchased in bulk from a retailor thus reducing the cost for organizations that plan to use this inthe classroom. The remainder of this section discusses the design, development and manufactureof the modular block.The modular block (figure 3 a-f) is designed as a two-part symmetric clamshell.

Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability
