record of learning outcomesdemonstrated over time. But while the advantages of journaling have been noted for educational orassessment purposes, relatively less work has leveraged these reflections to conduct research thatexplores professional experiences.Within engineering, journals have also been used to probe learning in various contexts and courses.For example, Babapour Chafi, Rahe, & Pedgley (2012) used journals to explore student decisionmaking throughout long-term or design projects. Moreover, Wallin (2015) used weekly reflections toexplore student development as undergraduate engineering researchers. More recently, Wallin &Adawi (2017) elaborated on this method as a formative assessment tool for self-regulated learning.Results

Education, 2019 The Impact of Integrating Making Activities to Cornerstone Design courses on Students’ Implicit Theories of Making AbilityAbstractA person’s implicit theories in a certain domain are known to have a direct influence on thatperson’s performance, behaviour, self-esteem, enjoyment and sense of belonging to the domain.This paper explores the role of implicit theory in engineering students’ beliefs about the nature oftheir making abilities and their self-identification as makers. This is done by assessing if acollaborative project-based engineering design course built on making activities can contribute toinfluencing students to have a growth mindset about their making abilities.

Entrepreneurially mindedengineers are not just the entrepreneurs with engineering degrees; they are able to fill both theroles of traditional staff engineers as well as leadership roles within organizations [5].The set of teaching and learning strategies that aim to support the KEEN 3Cs framework for EMis referred to as Entrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) [6]. Oftentimes, EML builds onactive pedagogies, such as Project-Based Learning (PBL), and focuses holistically onopportunity recognition, stakeholder awareness, discovery, and value creation [7]. There arethree entrepreneurial learning domains EML targets: affective factors (such as self-efficacy,intention

Another key goal for the project was to promote wide spread dissemination ofportable hands-on mobile devices through proactive collaboration between educationalinstitutions and industry partners. Collaborating partners used portable hands-on hardwarecoupled with a model of pedagogy to provide instruction in their courses. The projectsuccessfully demonstrated that an experimental centric pedagogy combined with hands-oneducational technology stimulates student interest in the STEM area, promotes contentacquisition, problem solving, and retention.

advocate for methods that canincrease the creativity and innovation allowed in civil engineering projects. Performance BasedDesign (PBD) is an example where the creativity of solutions can flourish by removingconventional code-based prescriptions. PDB requires fundamental knowledge but allows thefreedom to connect and apply that knowledge in new forms. The creative idea becomes aninnovation when it is built or implemented and proven through operation. However, an innovationdoes not become disruptive and alter society without diffusion of that knowledge [7]. Other civilengineers need to hear about, form an opinion of, and either implement or reject the innovation inother projects. The creative/ innovative cycle from formulation to diffusion needs
