Someof the students with the “biggest ideas” around advancing novel, environmentally-friendlydesigns were disappointed that the engineering courses seemed to be focused on teaching currentpractice rather than creative solutions. Given these findings, it might be impactful on retention tohave EnvE students take a course specific to environmental engineering and/or one that allowsthem to be innovative in envisioning solutions to problems of their interest (such as a project-based course that allows students to select a project of interest, and significant latitude increatively exploring solutions).Students who felt that their education should be more balanced between technical and societalissues

MethodsThe present work was conducted as part of a larger study of teaching effectiveness across STEMat the research site (Bouwma-Gearhart, Perry, & Presley, 2014; Koretsky, 2015; Koretsky et al.,2016). The research project is a broad institutional effort to cultivate interdisciplinarycommunities of practice focused on improving teaching practices in STEM. Faculty evaluationthus plays a critical role in enhancing teaching practices because the data collected and feedbackprovided are designed to help faculty improve as instructors. As a result, this research focuses onfaculty perceptions of teaching evaluation data, in particular the kinds of data they would like tocollect or stakeholders

The researchers implemented a course called First-Year Engineering Projects,which required hands-on design experience which emphasized teamwork and successfulimplementation of a student-researched plan [6]. Traditionally, such an experience would notoccur for engineering students until the final year of their program, in the form of a SeniorDesign or Capstone project. Alternatively, low retention rates in engineering curriculum have been attributed todifficulties insufficient support in non-engineering core math and science courses required to betaken by engineering

The adolescents, ages 14-17, worked in teams to identify a problem in theircommunity and to use engineering design to solve the problem. Most of the participants changedboth their perceptions of engineering as well as their self-efficacy as they worked on theseprojects. The design experience influenced participants’ perceptions of

collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al.

Among mathteachers, 40% fall into this description, while over 60% of physics, chemistry, and earth scienceteachers do so[2].This concern over STEM shortages is justified as STEM jobs are projected to grow by 13% from2012 - 2022 which is an increase of about 1 million jobs over a 10 year period.
