pairs of graduate andundergraduate engineers working in four research laboratories, we define five categories ofstrategies that students use to learn crucial research skills from each other: asking questions,demonstration, supervised attempts, trial and error, and imitation. Our study shows thatcommunities of practice, such as engineering research groups, are valuable sites for graduate andundergraduate students to learn crucial research skills. In addition, these five interactionstrategies are relatively stable, even across different research groups, disciplines, demographics,and levels of education. These strategies help facilitate the learning and teaching process withineach undergraduate and graduate pair. We found that undergraduate and

the varioussectors discussed diverse aspects of Peace Engineering and, in general, conference participantsagreed that the new global engineers, leaders and professionals need to be multi-disciplinary witha new mindset to solve global challenges. Among the aspects of Peace Engineering education theparticipants learned at the conference, they mentioned: a better idea of what Peace Engineeringis, including teaching students about compassion; the skill changes needed and the strain it willput on an already loaded curriculum as we add dimension like ethics, security and understandingof information technology; and an understanding of “good” and “bad” examples of PeaceEngineering.We also identified the overarching components of Peace Engineering

What are the similarities between laboratories and theaters as educational spaces? How might the educational experience in laboratories be enhanced by exploiting the parallels between labs and theaters? Figure 1.

. Most of thesepapers describe a specific course, project, program, or teaching tool, without making ageneralized claim about STS or engineering education.Authorship trends may reflect the common understanding of STS that is present in the appliedSTS papers and absent in many of the other papers (Table 2). Half of both groups’ papers werewritten by teams of authors from different disciplines, such as engineering, STS, social sciences,and education. A third of the applied STS papers were written by STS scholars, while a third ofthe other papers were written by engineers. This discrepancy may explain why the applied STSpapers share a worldview that the other papers do not. However, it does not mean that engineerslack an understanding or

to science and engineering communication studies 17,18, 19 and a plethora of advice from scientists and communication scholars about how to write forthe public20. Despite this interest, few university science or engineering programs dedicateformal coursework in public communication to undergraduate or graduate students 21. Whenprograms do offer such training, they are usually limited to teaching students to write intraditional genres such as press releases, newspaper-style articles, and essays13, 14, and fail toconsider more personal, informal, and affective forms of communication such as face-to-faceconversations that can occur through science cafes or street science 22, 23 or to make use ofmultimedia genres such as podcasts, blogs, or

- cation with specific emphasis on innovative pedagogical and curricular practices at the intersection with the issues of gender and diversity. With the goal of improving learning opportunities for all students and equipping faculty with the knowledge and skills necessary to create such opportunities, Dr. Zastavker’s re- cent work involves questions pertaining to students’ motivational attitudes and their learning journeys in a variety of educational environments. One of the founding faculty at Olin College, Dr. Zastavker has been engaged in development and implementation of project-based experiences in fields ranging from science to engineering and design to social sciences (e.g., Critical Reflective Writing; Teaching and
