Organizational knowledge transfer is “the process throughwhich organizational actors—teams, units, or organizations—exchange, receive and areinfluenced by the experience and knowledge of others”2 (p. 832). Knowledge type, andorganizational and social characteristics affect how knowledge transfer works. Tacit, specific,and complex

for students,makerspaces encourage experiential and situated learning experiences through communities ofpractice. Experiential learning is not merely a technique that can be utilized to provide studentswith an experience from which they can learn, but a philosophy of education (Dewey, 1986; A.Y. Kolb & Kolb, 2005). This experiential learning philosophy is characterized by several tenets:learning is (1) a process not an outcome, (2) relearning, (3) resolving conflicts, (4) holisticallyadapting to the world, (5) interacting with the environments, and (6) creating knowledge (Kolb1984). This perspective is built on the notion that knowledge is created from reflecting upon atransformative experience, exemplified through the processes of the

This generates new careers and occupations that requirecontinuous learning and specialization (Candy, Creber, & O'leary, 1994).Several researchers agree that engagement, interaction, reflection, analysis, and discussion fosterautonomous learning (Barr & Tagg, 1995; Little, 1996; Weimer, 2002).

The workshop organizers considered this question and decided thatan unplanned reflective exercise would be valuable using the simple prompt, “What progresshave we made?” Each group of two representatives from the attending institutions was asked toreflect and comment on the progress made in the areas of the 5 themes identified earlier in theworkshop at either their home institution or nationally within the engineering educationlandscape.Responses to this simple prompt were illuminating and in many ways inspiring

as they apply to K-12 education. In 2013, the Next Generation Science Standards reflected the growing interest in K-12 engineering by integrating it with the science curriculum. In contrast to the prior standards, the NGSS explicitly included engineering as a foundational component of the curriculum, with engineering concepts included in the requirements for each grade level. In fact, the final NGSS document body included over three hundred uses of the word engineering. Taking advantage of recent research into science learning, the standards also propose a new view of teaching science. Whereas the earlier standards heavily emphasized science content knowledge, the new standards took a more holistic view of science. Science education
