Significant work has been done on how to create intentional movement inelementary and middle school classrooms, but it is limited in higher education settings.This paper discusses how an “escape room” learning activity has been implemented and assessedin two small-sized engineering programs, York College of Pennsylvania and Iron RangeEngineering. Escape rooms are a physical adventure game to challenge players, where they mustsolve a series of puzzles to escape the room in a given time limit.

So, I don’t consider myself as that far below them ifthey’re coming to me for questions. – Latina, Senior (P1)Another student expressed a similar sentiment of having to prove to her peers that she is just ascapable, if not more so, by earning some of the top grades in her engineering classes.Interestingly, while she described how her male, White peers are mostly close-minded, shealigned herself as being closer with them than other women in the program.Being in a major with church going rednecks who think one way, you have to remember, this isan engineering program, so most of the people in the program are kind of close-minded…It’s notreally an issue as far as me being Black.

These identities mustbalance individual affiliation with three aspects of a field: doing (hands on practices), being(habits of mind), and becoming (professional aspirations) [19]. Individuals construct theseidentities over time via interaction with material and social contexts [20, 21]. As individuals gainexperience over time, particularly in real-world vs. classroom settings, these aspects maydevelop at different rates. Thus, to understand the professional formation of

constraints are very important for first-year engineering students and are also emphasizedin the course. Students are taught that the design process requires an open mind, and awillingness to fail. Efficient time use is important, since usually the first design solutions, orprototypes, are not the best design options and improvements must be made. As part of this first-year engineering course, students create Gantt Charts and a project management plan. Thisassists student in staying on track in meeting the project and course goals, and in using the coursetime efficiently. Their time in lab may be the only time that the whole team can meet togetherand have access to the lab equipment. It is also important that the team works effectivelytogether. An

In describing the foundation of the practice, Koen [19,p. 10] defines the engineering method as, “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorlyunderstood or uncertain situation within the available resources.” One could succinctly use thewords optimization or innovation in place of the Koen definition. Furthermore, change thecontext or application and this portrayal of the engineering method is equally meaningful to thepractice of leadership!
