them develop stronger teams with more awarenessof the importance of professional skills for engineers. DBR is a method that was developed toaddress the limitations of laboratory experiments in the social and behavioral sciences. Findingthat very few, even well-tested laboratory studies had impact on actual teaching and learning,researchers developed DBR as a way to test theories about how learning can be supported. DBRinvolves building a theory that takes context seriously and instantiating the theory into a designfor learning [46]. Iterative testing of the design under real world conditions provides anopportunity to assess both the design and the theory [5], [6].We were guided by the following research questions:RQ 1: How do sophomores’ and

. Thisworkshop was attended by more than 70 academic and industrial professionals from around theworld. The main conversation topics included: required skillset for MRE graduates, the role ofindustry in shaping MRE education, the key components of MRE programs, and how to bestbalance theory and practice. The fruitful discussions and interactions during the workshopsparked the idea to create an online community where MRE educators can exchange ideas, sharecurricula and best practices, and continue the conversation.To this end, in March 2017, with support from one of the industrial partners, Quanser, two of theauthors (NL, VK) launched the Mechatronics Education Community [5].

The results for thequestions on engagement for the 2018 cohort are shown in Figure 3. The 2017 cohort reportedresponses on a 4-point scale, and 2018 students reported on a 10-point scale, however, resultsfrom the 2017 cohort (not shown) mirrored the trends shown in Figure 3.Figure 3: Results from student

Gender-balanced teams with high conflict among teammembers could not generate an idea and create innovative final projects. For having moreinnovative solutions in design projects, Fila and Purzer [24] suggested that instructors avoidforming teams only on the basis of gender and that they facilitate teams during teamwork.Ertas et al.

A culture of “engineering with engineers” couldresult in graduates who not only are prepared technically and professionally with a practical,realistic understanding of what it is to be an engineer, but who also identify with and arecommitted to the engineering profession. Researchers have suggested the culture influence isespecially important for women to persist in a field [22], [29]. Hence, results of the study arehoped to lead to a clearer understanding of the changes that promote engineering identities

One of the most common features of any makerspace is theuse of digital tools for the creation of physical artifacts [2], [3], [6], [9], [25].

should promote learning by indicating levels of proficiency orperformance levels as opposed to just scores for grades.Self-assessment and self-grading activities, when applied correctly, can support the student aspart of his or her learning process. For this reason, these activities should be viewed not asisolated practices but as part of the overall learning process [28]. Despite decades of research onthese promising techniques, self-assessment remains somewhat of a “niche market for theenthusiastic” and self-grading activities, particularly on exams, “remain unlikely due to social,political, and logistical reasons” [16]. Since opportunities remain to develop consistent andsystematic usage of these techniques, further study is needed so that

We also found that, although withdifficulties, they could use their funds of knowledge to establish a sense of belonging inengineering, which is essential for their retention, successful graduation, and transition into theengineering workforce [5].
