According to Borrego andBernhard [1] engineering education research is crucial in order to solve some of the challengesthe engineering field face. In 2009, Jesiek et. al [2] provided a history of engineering educationas a field that was “maturing as a research field” (p

For example, one group of students imagined their robot to simulate car technologythat would sense children in the parking lot of a playground who the driver could not see, and thecar technology could stop the car before it struck a child. Over the second half of the semester asstudents worked on the project, students were to continually think about how their programscontributed to society or to solving social problems, how they incorporated perspectives ofpotential clients into the design, and what creativity and critical thinking they brought to theproject. Through these labs, students highlighted the importance of engineering design-thinkingto both

every discipline, particularly in higher education, recognizes, or is willingto promote, the impact an environment can have on student learning, engagement, and success.These types of instances are particularly visible in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM) related disciplines.The authors in this study postulate that learning environments are notably absent in engineeringclassrooms given that most faculty members possess research-focused credentials and not formalpedagogical preparation, which is an indispensable instructional component to effectively delivertechnical content and nurture student development in higher education. The absence of learningenvironments can be traced to the structure of existent engineering [graduate

It is reasonable to believe that engineering-specific interest andidentity development are at work in early and middle childhood as well. However, few toolsexist to measure engineering identity and interest at the elementary school age.This project developed a survey instrument to measure engineering identity and interest inchildren in grades 3-6 (ages 8 to 12 years).
