things work better or more efficiently. They try to find ways to make everyday tasks and complicated processes work much easier.” “Engineers can be people who have a good understanding of math and science and how they can work together. Engineers apply this knowledge in the world through a number of jobs and many fix, design, build, and imagine innovative and helpful technologies.” Atypical Response “Create and look at the world with a different view.”Question 2: Why did you choose engineering? Typical Responses “I love math and science, particularly physics. I thought engineering would best fit my personal interests in these areas.” “Many of my uncles are engineers. My dad was. 4 years on a robotics team. I’ve always liked

Each team selected a differentchallenge, and was instructed to produce a video that described: • The challenge • The social impact • The national technological readiness to address the challenge • Possible avenues to solve the challengeTeams were instructed to create all-original video content using class/reading materials providedby the instructor and posted in the class Blackboard site. This included the NAE website and theuniversity library’s engineering database. Videos were posted to YouTube as either “Public” or“Unlisted,” and the URL emailed to the instructor.

In this work MG was used in a 9th grade biology/chemistry classroom toteach students chemistry, biology, macromolecules, and the engineering design cycle. Studentswere tasked with using the engineering design cycle to produce a MG snack during a school-wide Cook-Off. This STEaM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) project-based unit was designed using Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS), National Academy ofEngineering (NAE), and Understanding by Design (UBD
the blending of science and engineeringas its first “conceptual shift,” combining the two into “Science and Engineering Practices”(NGSS, Appendix A). NGSS explains, “This integration is achieved by raising engineeringdesign to the same level as scientific inquiry in classroom instruction when teaching sciencedisciplines at all levels and by giving core ideas of engineering and technology the same status asthose in other major science disciplines” (NGSS, Appendix A). The following analysis examines how it addresses issues of equity and access in theimplementation of these “science and engineering practices.” To do this, the authors: 1.

Erin Susan Araj, Santa Clara University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 A Comparison of Paper vs. Electronic (Portfolio) Notebooks for Engineering Design Projects Abstract An engineer’s notebook has long been regarded as a critical feature in the engineering design process to capture the collection of information and design thinking not only for the author’s use, but also the use of others. As technology progresses, the use of a hardbound book for this recording of thoughts and reporting technical information has been extended to electronic formats. This paper details a comparison between engineer’s notebooks recorded on paper using bound notebooks and those done

Although the use of fail words is still an uncomfortable term in education, it is,increasingly, a part of the popular lexicon. This is driven in large part by the STEM (science,technology, engineering and mathematics) focus brought about by the Department of Educationand its Race to the Top program in 2009, which prioritized STEM teaching and learning.3 Inaddition, the “maker” movement has grown rapidly, bringing the idea of iteration and trial anderror to the general public.4 However, failure in these contexts is largely attributed to genericdescriptions such as “design,” “iteration
