Then,Cunningham and Kelly [10] synthesized from the literature on professional engineering a list ofepistemic practices that are potentially useful in the K-12 classroom. Among that list, several arerelevant to the study described in this report: (1) making tradeoffs between criteria andconstraints; (2) applying science knowledge to problem solving; (3) assessing implications ofsolutions; and, (4) building and using models. The disciplinary practices of engineers can be experienced by K-12 teachers through avariety of professional development opportunities.

Inaddition to the design principles that are often covered in most first-year design classes, UCDintroduces students to the idea that engineering is not just a technical field but rather asociotechnical and sociopolitical endeavor, by introducing strategies for developing designs thatemphasize how users interact with the final product [1]. For example, when evaluating theefficacy of a design, students reflect on questions such as: Could this design create controversy?What are the lasting positive and negative implications/ impacts/ consequences of theinnovation?

Proximity of constructions and logical dependency inthe reasoning were used as evidence to argue for how the constructions of different stakeholdersare entangled. Interpretations in the analytical memos were iteratively revised several timesthrough group discussions (Engle, Conant, and Greeno, 2007). Roughly, in this process, we hadthe following orientations: (1) we assumed context-dependence, in that we expected thatconstructions of stakeholders could change swiftly, (2) we attended to how multiple

As youth enter adolescence, they begin to shape theirpersonal identities and start making decisions about who they are and could be in the future.Children as young as elementary school have already formed career aspirations and interestsrelated to STEM [5-6], with such decisions appearing long before having to choose courseworkin high school or college.

We planned to explore identity,motivation, and experiences of EGSs through three central research questions: 1. What are the identity and motivation profiles of engineering doctoral students, which are based on previous academic and research experiences in STEM? 2. How does the STEM community influence identity formation and motivational goal setting processes of engineering doctoral students? 3. How do these processes related to identity formation and motivation influence engineering graduate student

However, an insufficient number of college students are pursuing degrees in engineering.Therefore, creating and recruiting interested future college students, especially females andethnically diverse students, is of high importance [1] One way to foster student enrollment inengineering is by generating interest in future college students as they progress through middleand high school.
