Here we primarilyfocus on the experiences of three students who were directly involved in our data collectionefforts. One undergraduate student engaged with one field site (a utility company, “UtilityCo”)through job shadowing and informal interviewing, while two graduate students collected data asparticipant observers at a second site (a small software start-up, “SoftCo”). In this paper, ourprimary research objective is to examine how these three students experienced their roles

Innovative engineers, thus, must balance between creative abilities and technicalknowledge. Prior studies indicate that students often struggle with the creative side ofinnovation, both in terms of identifying creative solutions2,14 and valuing the role creativity playsin engineering design16. This study adds to these findings by suggesting that many engineeringstudents associate with the identity of the technical problem-solver. These students limit thesolutions they can consider by avoiding solutions they do not immediately identify as feasible,adhering to the approaches and knowledge of their home discipline, and

. This increases the exchange of ideas between students and improves their collaborative skills. Students that have questions will benefit from the fact that they are being taught the correct approach to solve the problem. There is also the added benefit that the students are learning from a peer, which may encourage the students to question each other more freely. Fellow students that are currently in the process of undergoing the same learning curve might be able to understand each other's perspective and questions better. Additionally, teaching a fellow student within the group helps to crystallize the understanding of the subject matter for the student that is teaching the material because the act of teaching is considered to

Students’ wish for authenticityis lightly at odds with students’ wishes for interesting topics; students who proposed improvedtopics seemed to want opportunities to use writing as a vehicle to discuss, imagine

Regardless of the career pathway outcome, the WFD programinculcates hands-on, practical skills in participants.

This suggests that while there is a positive impact ofsentiment polarity on the review scores, the effect is moderate.

process of analyzing others’ designs and generating feedback would be more productive thanthe actual written feedback itself.In our analysis of student feedback processes, we also draw on the framework of culturalhistorical activity theory (Engestrom, 1999). We view the social practice of evaluating anengineering design and generating feedback as a complex activity system where learners’ actionsare influenced by existing tools (e.g., a feedback worksheet), norms (e.g., classroom rules), andcommunity history (e.g., friend relationships among a group of children). To provideconstructive and effective feedback, learners need to find a balance between these potentiallycompeting activity system elements. For example, the social dynamics between the
