habits of mind. Thesehabits of mind describe how values, attitudes, and thinking skills are linked to engineering.Computational thinking has also previously been linked to engineering beyond simplyprogramming by Wing in 2006. Wing defined computational thinking as the overlap betweenmathematical thinking and engineering thinking.In 2011, The Computational Thinking Teacher Resources developed as the result of acollaboration between the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) and the InternationalSociety for Technology and Education (ISTE). This collaboration produced a list ofcharacteristics that define and describe computational thinking and its qualities. In 2012, Googlealso released a list of computational thinking competencies and they

perceptionsbased on their social demographic. To investigate this hypothesis, our research team collaboratedwith two university sponsored summer programs that taught engineering to young students. Before participating in these summer programs, 85 students were interviewed and asked“What do you think mechanical engineers do?” Participant responses and organized by thedemographic data of the students. Student responses fell into one of the following six categories:(1) Mechanical/Moving Things, (2) Computers/Electrical Technology, (3) Civil Engineering, (4)Manufacturing/Building, (5) "More than Engineering," and (6) I Don’t know. Results indicatethat across races and genders, students interviewed primarily associate mechanical engineeringwith

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 NSF CAREER: Towards a framework for engineering student innovationAbstractThe ability to innovate is essential in the rapidly evolving technological landscape. Many effortshave been made in engineering education to support student innovation (e.g., innovation andentrepreneurship programs and targeted courses). Yet, research on how engineering studentsapproach and experience innovation has been limited. In this CAREER project we conducted aseries of empirical studies using interviews, think-aloud protocols, and surveys to examineengineering students’ innovation skills, views of the innovation process, and experiences thatsupporedt their development of innovative competencies.

in students’ innovation13 and can create amismatch between how students perceive engineering as a field and how they perceive themselvesas people who engage in engineering, often resulting in a lack of belonging and ultimately,attrition13–16. As a result, a gap of understanding how to develop students with diverse andinnovative mindsets in engineering education remains.In a 2014 visit to Purdue University, Paul Eremenko, founding CEO of Airbus Group SiliconValley technology and business innovation center and former director at Google, stated, It strikes me that there are two families or reasons why [we need diversity]…One is social justice.
