Additionally, the departmentmission statement emphasizes design and innovation and the authors agreed that thedevelopment of the requisite skills must begin at the beginning of the curriculum and be taught inconjunction with technical content.

And that actually was something I was very uncomfortable with because I was the only female in the room and sometimes the only person of any type of minority status.” – Latina Engineer “I know I’m 1 percent of people that…look like me. I’ve known that through most of college. I’ve always counted. So sometimes when I do feel insecure, it does bring up that you’re also the only person of color or female in there.” – African American Engineer “…When I first walked into the first project meeting, I was the only female in a room

Technical reports are either generated by private enterprise andits research-and-development (R&D) component, or by governmental support of research.Contracts with the federal government almost always require a report summarizing the project(Walker, 1990).During the 1930s, technical reports were considered at the time furnishing “newer informationfaster” (Box 4, Series 2). Crosland understood the importance of technical reports and wasactively involved in acquiring them based on research needs. She was instrumental inparticipating in several depository programs.

Second, administrative processes atuniversities make adding new courses and/or updating current offerings to incorporate socially engaged designcontent a long, difficult process that requires significant investment from faculty members. Third, non-traditionalengineering skills may not fit sequentially into engineering curricula. Students are typically most motivated toacquire these skills when confronted with the challenges of specific design projects, which they may encounterthrough both traditional coursework and co-curricular opportunities. Because of these factors, educationalprograms related to socially engaged design need not only to be accessible to faculty for incorporation into theirexisting courses, but also accessible

In several studies trust wasessential to mitigating conflict and enhancing communication and cohesion which in turnincreased the overall team performance27,28. Studies that observed the relationship between trustand knowledge sharing generally surveyed teams within industry. These teams required trustamong teams and companies in sharing pertinent project information.As noted previously, the most common antecedent of trust that was identified and measured wastransformational leadership.

Faculty prepare workshops with projects, typicallyincluding a design challenge, that introduce camp participants to each discipline. The faculty-ledworkshops generally last 3 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the project.

to analyzethe downstream effects of technologies on unknown or silent users (Casper & Clarke 1998).These efforts can also be understood as a way of organizing others’ work (Suchman 2000),particularly when the users come from inside one’s own organization.In this paper we describe and analyze how early career engineers learn about users and theirneeds in the engineering workplace. We draw special attention to how users are conceptualizedduring product development and how notions of how users might employ technologies can shapedesigners’ plans. These data are part of a larger project that examines the workplace learning ofearly career engineers, and so several of our examples highlight the orientations early careerengineers hold toward

obscured the effect of class year that might only be salient in the final years, as studentsget closer to graduation. Senior status could be taken as a proxy for more “life experience”which ideally give individuals more world and self-knowledge with which to navigate theircareer.We also see that more career certain students are more sure about staying in engineering oneto ten years post-graduation (though the difference in commitment to engineering betweencertain and uncertain students becomes less pronounced the longer the projection time fromgraduation). In addition, their stronger expressed desire to stay in engineering is consistentwith their greater engineering task self-efficacy, an observation which supports the SCCTmodel. According to SCCT

Under the umbrella of active learning,however, a large variety of different (and sometimes contradictory) methodologies have beenproposed; including project-based learning, problem-based learning, gamification, tinkering,collaborative learning, class competitions, and many others. As educators become more interestedin student-centered pedagogies, the question of which specific techniques are most effective isincreasingly important.Because active learning is still an emerging paradigm, the number of studies examining distinctapproaches is somewhat limited, and the difficulty of isolating those techniques in the classroomenvironment is a recognized concern. 1 In this paper, we wish to contribute to the growing pool
