When embedded and central toengineering cultures and pedagogy, scholars have argued that design provides students thepossibilities to gain a greater tolerance for ambiguity, adopt multiperspectival approaches toproblem-framing, and, ultimately, become informed designers [17]. Crismond and Adamsdeveloped the Informed Design Learning and Teaching Matrix that presented strategies andpractices aimed at helping students move from novice to informed designers [16]. The InformedDesign Learning and Teaching Matrix helps “by directing teachers’ attention to common designmisconceptions and habits of mind of beginning designers

Therefore wechose to test models with between 4 and 9 factors, keeping in mind that 8-9 factors seemsunlikely given the tiny eigenvalues, and would be difficult to estimate with our sample size.Table 4.

Around 30% of responses noted the sense of community among users,which includes helping and teaching one another, providing support for items #10 and #11. Thetheme of innovation appeared in about 10% of responses, providing support for item #1. Twoother themes appeared in the data, which dealt with creativity (16% of responses) andextracurricular learning (17% of responses). One user response was very approving of theuniversity’s efforts thus far: “A convenient place to find like-minded engineers. It feels like home. Make almost anything free of cost.

’ [materials] contribute to solutions every bitas much as ‘minds’ [social] do; information and meaning is coded into configurations of objects,material constraints, and possible environmental options, as well as in verbal routines andformulas or ‘mental operations. […] Our ‘cognition’ is always bound up with, co-dependentwith, the participation and activity of Others, be they persons, tools, symbols, processes, orthings” [14]. This emphasis of social and material context as being an intrinsic part of cognitionis one of the main points of situated cognition [7]. Therefore, it is worthwhile to explore the social and material contexts of the designactivities performed by practicing engineers and engineering students. Understanding how

As a result, the student population inengineering at UWM tends to consist of a higher percentage of under-prepared students enteringthe program than most engineering schools, but at the same time offers many undergraduateresearch opportunities for highly-motivated students. This brief profile of the engineeringstudents will be important to keep in mind as the results of this project are discussed.The use of project-based learning1,2 is not new, and has taken on various forms at differentinstitutions.

Everything was organized and set up very well. the thoughtful suggestions only thing I’d have to change anything is to ask the kids on how to improve how they feel about engineering . I feel as if it’s always mentoring of the youth. important to see wher their minds are when it comes to what they want to do later on in life. Other than that everything was fine.8 To be completely honest, I did not do the bridge example Student did not do the with the kids. I got there and the teacher just said to help the assigned project, but kids with homework if they had any questions. I really still gained a great deal enjoyed that, I was able to get to know a kid and
