identified by the RACI. Inquiry-based learning activities were designedusing variation theory4 to challenge students’ conceptual understanding of rate and accumulationprocesses across multiple contexts. Activities include the use of toy bricks to construct rate andaccumulation graphs. These activities will be tested in a required sophomore civil andenvironmental engineering course. The success of these activities will be measured usingformative assessments and pre-post course RACI scores. An observation protocol will also beused to assess students’ responses to the class activities5.References1. Flynn, C.D., Davidson, C.I., Dotger, S., 2014.

These are questions we haveset about to answer as part of a large, multi-university study5.Specifically, in this NSF funded study of the effectiveness of various forms of internationalexperiences, we have used a nationally recognized and normed instrument to survey both firstyear and senior engineering students initially at four partner institutions, and more recently at anadditional dozen engineering programs throughout the U.

Our work adds to this growing body of literature by exploring what aspects ofprototyping student engineers are aware of as they engage in the design process, specificallyduring prototyping activities.    2.2 Prototyping Literature    In this work, we use Christie et al.’s definition of a prototype as “an initial instantiation of aconcept as part of the product development process”37. Prototyping represents a large sunk costfor most companies that is overcome through the launch of a successful product; however,estimates indicate that 40-50% of

Engaging families is apriority of the LSA in order to encourage parents to advocate for STEM offerings in schools, aswell as to encourage the parents, who are often very young, to consider STEM education andcareer pathways for themselves.Another key feature of this event was the participation of NSF S-STEM electrical engineeringscholars from Suffolk University, who are graduates of Boston Public High Schools and who arepredominantly students of color themselves.

these identity frameworks in the broaderliterature. To be fair, in the broader literature there have only been a few claims that identity isexplicitly distinct from other constructs such as self-efficacy2 or the expectancy-value theory ofachievement motivation.3 However, in the last five years some have made this distinction. Forexample, Lent, R. W., Brown, S. D., & Hackett, G.4 expand on Bandura’s theory of self-efficacyto the extent of illuminating the importance of self-efficacy in academic persistence. While thisis not explicitly identity, self-efficacy is a theoretically relevant construct that had to be takeninto consideration in this review as it is often associated with identity measures.Table 1 Categorization of Identity Studies by
