As with the engineering education researchers, both groups see a dearth of intentionalefforts to change dominant discourses in the rhetoric and practice of technology cultures, andwere working to establish alternative spaces, practices, and cultures to counteract the dominantframe. A lesson for engineering education researchers to take from this recurring narrative thatsurfaced in interviews, might be to celebrate collectivist instincts, the need and desire forcommunity, and to revisit the passion that brought them to the field of engineering education inthe first place. Further, as the discipline and its researchers establish their own dominantdiscourses and practices, we should be mindful not to lose the connection to doing what

After the collaborators responded to the initiator’s call, the initiator talked to eachindividual separately and discussed the goal in mind and asked for their insights and feedback.The first meeting was then scheduled and all the researchers participated.

Perhaps the rocket project reported here failed to have amore positive impact on its student participants because it was not properly adapted and evolvedfor a high school environment.ConclusionThis paper summarizes the practical implementation of “doing the ‘E’ in STEM” for high school9th and 10th graders at Saint Francis Catholic Academy using model rockets as the educationalplatform. The project is unique because it melded the following five attributes into an open-ended hands-on engineering design-and-build high school project: 1) DBT pedagogy; 2) theengineering design process; 3) comprehensive technical coverage of rocket systems; 4) the sevenaxes of engineering practice; and 5) enabling computer simulations and micro-sensor

Someone is going to be severely hurt by the innovation and development in the weaponry technologies. The example above might be extreme. Another good example is the e-waste issue we had talked about in the beginning of this semester. People in the first world are always attracted to more advanced electronics. But the technological development in the electronic industry driven by this consumerism will lead to more e-waste that has to been dealt with by the third country. The decision-making process based only on opinions from scientists and engineers seemed a little single-minded and lacked a flavor of humanity

] suggests that to master the SMC course content, besides physics and mathematicalskills, students need to have a strong spatial ability to retrieve and interpret spatial informationfrom engineering structures and produce efficient spatial reasoning for solving problems. Spatialability is the cognitive capability that helps people to apprehend, maintain, and manipulate 3Dobjects in their mind and is considered as a set of several spatial ability factors [2, 3, 4].References [2, 4, 5, 6] cite spatial visualization, mental rotation, spatial orientation, spatialperception, and cross-sectioning abilities among spatial ability factors. Some of the references inthe literature [4, 7, 8] consider spatial ability as a narrowed concept of spatial thinking

However, there is a lack in addressing the subject in manufacturing education as well asutilizing the tools for gathering information, organizing and presenting it, along withidentification of what is taking place – analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. With this in mind, aproject-based manufacturing product design course relating not only to the engineering designand to development process, but also to critical thinking and its critical pieces need to bedeveloped.

Computing and Engineering Student Success) to collect data onstudents’ non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors. This survey, which is the first of its kind tobe launched on a national scale, measures 28 NCA factors that may contribute to student successincluding personality, grit, identity, mindset, motivation, stress, gratitude, mindfulness, andbelongingness. Many engineering and computing students have strong incoming academicrecords and standardized test scores that indicate potential for success in their programs;nonetheless, many struggle when they reach university. Cognitive measures like SAT/ACT areweak predictors of academic success, and NCA measures may form the constellation ofcharacteristics that offer further predictive power. In this
