demonstrations by masterteachers, a laboratory and environmental health and safety presentation and initial facultyresearch group meetings. The weeks following orientation are full of activities (Figure 1) aimedat K-12 STEM professional development, including; workshops, book-club discussions, graduatestudent research presentations, collaborative meetings, industry field trips and, of course, hands-on research experience within a faculty-advised research group. These weeks contain the mostlearning-opportunities, and although they are activity-dense, WE2NG summer trainings arebelieved to be of sufficient duration to allow participants to meaningfully engage with theirresearch assignment and to ultimately take ownership of their role within the research

Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

engineering.Teaching in the programs are mainly carried out as lectures, lessons, and laboratory sessions. In atypical engineering course, 30−40% of the education is carried out as lectures, 30−40% aslessons and 20−40% as laboratory experiments. In addition, case studies and project works areused in about half of the courses. Some projects are small (down to 15% of the course workload)and some may make up the whole course.In the present study, two courses are of interest. One is a course in Engineering thermodynamicswhich both the ME, DPD and IEM students take; the ME students as the very first course of theprogram, and the PDP and IEM students at the middle of the second year. The other is a bachelor(capstone) project course that the IEM students take as
