coding as being different from rating. Like rate, code has different definitions indictionaries and in qualitative coding guides (Saldaña, 2015; Thornberg & Charmaz, 2014). 2However, we understand coding to include descriptions that are not necessarily related to qualityand that do not necessarily have a numerical assignment. For example, in our previous research(Authors, 2018) we identified forms of capital that high school students mobilized towardsolving an engineering design problem. Our codes included Social Capital: Peer, defined as“other high school students who provided ideas or information regarding potential designelements” and

This could be done byexploring differences in student performance between groups that conduct in-country visits andgroups that do not. Alternatively, comparisons could be made to assess student performancewhile addressing local versus international environmental issues to better understand theimportance of global engagement.

A lecture is constructed and given to students before their assemblydesign project. The lecture presents the basics of tolerancing, including the types of fits andwhen to implement them. The lecture content is reconstructed each semester for 3 semestersbased upon the students' feedback.

Problem redefinition was something we agreed had relevanceacross our diverse course contexts. For example, traditional engineering science courses oftenpresent well-defined, closed-ended problems for

One particular exampleof this is the Affinity Research Group model [14], which sees engineering learning as an iterativeand social process in which students achieve learning outcomes through their own experiences asmembers of a community brought together by a shared goal. In an Affinity Research Group,students continuously engage in experiential learning groups as they move forward in their careerpathways. This allows them to not only learn from their peers, faculty, and mentors, but also helpand mentor others in turn.

Vygotsky’s Zone of ProximalDevelopment (ZPD). The range between the ability level of a person achieved by individualefforts versus under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers denotes ZPD [1].With scaffolding, the materials that the learner has to absorb are broken down into smallercomponents so that the
