that in order to learn how to give and receive engineering design feedback, students needto be placed in situations where feedback serves an authentic purpose for a design task.The curriculum development project in which this study took place has an explicit goal ofenabling underrepresented minority students to see engineering as a way to take action onproblems that matter to their communities (Dalvi, Wendell, & Johnson, 2016). One way in whichwe are working toward this goal is by inviting community members to give feedback to studentswhen they are defining the parameters of their engineering design problem. Another way we aresupporting student engagement in engineering is by creating structured opportunities for them togive feedback on

There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice

Glover and colleagues produced an introductory textbook thatused this approach [6].In 1993, seven schools came together as the Foundation Coalition (FC) under the auspices of theNSF Engineering Education Coalitions Program. One of the major thrusts of the FC wascurriculum integration. Building on the earlier work at Texas A&M, Rose-Hulman developed anew sophomore engineering curriculum—the Rose-Hulman/Foundation Coalition SophomoreEngineering Curriculum (SEC) [7]. This curriculum also used CAP as an organizing principle.Taught continuously since 1995, the one constant in the SEC has been its foundational course,Conservation & Accounting Principles, that sets the stage for the rest of the curriculum

There is an urgent need for K-12 teachers to develop the pedagogicalskills necessary to enhance student learning of computational thinking skills in STEM contexts[9]. There is also a general need (1) for teachers to understand technology use in the context ofthe STEM application, e.g. engineering design, (2) for redesign of pre-service courses and in-service workshops aimed at integrated STEM instruction, and (3) for STEM teachers of differentcontent areas to work together [10].There has been considerable work in the STEM community, in particular in Computer Scienceand

In a study of engineering student attrition at the University of Pittsburgh over a six-yearperiod, of the freshman attrition, half was accounted for by freshman that are placed on academicprobation at the end of their first term [4].Within first year engineering programs, mathematics is often one of the largest contributors toattrition in the first year [5].
