A vital first phase of this RED project then involves the development of thepsychometric scales (i.e., testing of the tests), that will be used. Although researchers have developed a number of survey-based measures of socialpsychological aspects of the learning process, and recent efforts have been made to assess causal 2models of the multiple social psychological influences on educational and career outcomeswithin the area of engineering [cf. 4, 2, 5].

As part of a National ScienceFoundation Advanced Technological Education project, a group of high school teachers wasoffered the opportunity to work in advanced manufacturing labs with engineering faculty. Theseprojects included additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics, surface characterization of AMmetal parts, and surface alteration. The teachers were tasked with developing lesson plans whichincorporated the advanced manufacturing concepts that they had learned.As part of the assessment of the program, teachers were given pre- and post- research experiencesurveys

Most reports of service learning outreach focus on the experience ofundergraduate and graduate student volunteers, including recent studies of efforts to recruitwomen [15, 16]. Other studies involving K-12 outreach do not address effectiveness of specificmaterials in engaging underrepresented students, but instead focus on general best practices,program development, or assessment [17-20]. Additionally, groundbreaking studies involvingbest practices in teaching engineering to K-12 students have not been within the context ofoutreach, but instead have focused on formal classroom teaching approaches in general such asproblem-, inquiry- and project-based approaches [21].

Considering that individualstudents approach the librarians for instruction on topics such as strategies for literature reviews,or that individual faculty members approach the librarians for instruction to the students in theirlabs on topics such as best resources for researching specific subjects or instruction on citationmanagement applications, one might reasonably conclude that there is an unmet need for a broadinstruction program.

In this project, time and materials were the main constraints. Engineers also solve problems, such as how to construct a tower. Students must decide which materials they would utilize from those given (paper, card stock, different types of tape) to make the tallest tower within a ten minute timeframe.  Laser engraving: A laser engraver demonstration was given during which it created acrylic charms.
