-classroomexperience was to provide 7th grade students with the opportunity to ask CU graduate studentsquestions about their experiences in engineering one-on-one. A diverse group of CU graduatestudents volunteered for the event, inadvertently providing the middle schoolers with severalpotential role models that may share similar backgrounds with them. For instance, a majority ofthe 7th grade students were native Spanish speakers. Of the CU Boulder volunteers, 33% wereSpanish speakers who were able to connect with the 7th graders on a deeper level through sharedculture and language. These volunteers were masters and PhD students conducting research at CUBoulder. This connection may have a positive impact on Hispanic STEM student identity 10 .Following four

Creo is characterized by mastering the processes andprocedures of the program, the author plans to study research on mastery-based learningmethods. The author will then look to compare different mastery-based methods to the use ofvideo tutorials in ENCP A102 and see what adjustments could be made to further refine andimprove the student learning experience.4) Regarding the small minority of students that resist the full use of the video tutorials, theauthor plans to gain insights from colleagues and related research to investigate ways to motivatethese students to get onboard with the video tutorial process.5) Finally, it would be helpful to work with colleagues at a larger university that are teaching aclass on Creo with a traditional

of the Variety of Rubber DucksRubber Duck Debugging and Code ReviewIt is believed the reference of Rubber Duck debugging that brought this concept to most people’sattention was “The Pragmatic Programmer: from journeyman to master” by Andrew Hunt andDavid Thomas [3]. Code review has been a long-standing software development practice forhelping programmers improve the quality of their code [4]. The importance within the softwaredevelopment community has led to attempts to automate the process [4]. Studies have shownthat code reviews from peers are helpful for learning concepts in introductory programmingcourses [5]. In rubber duck debugging, the rubber duck serves as a “peer.” Rubber duckdebugging assists on two measures. The first is slowing

Unlike the eightstandards and eight practices, students need not master all eight contexts. Regardless of how thecontexts are used, curriculum developers and teachers should always start with the standards andcontexts as the foundations for teaching and learning.Table 2Technology and engineering practice expectations by grade band [1, p.72].Implementing STELSTEL [1] is available at https://www.iteea.org/STEL.aspx.

Within STEM education, achievement goal theory has notbeen used as extensively as in the fields of physical education (Chu

functionality of the design part.Instructional scaffolding is a proven technique for teaching engineering problem solving,especially to address hard to teach topics such as open-ended design. (Girgis 2015, Allam 2012,Rosenshine 1992, Pea 2004) A summary of the instruction scaffolding approach is listed below: § An instructor adds supports for students in order to enhance learning and aid in the mastery of tasks. § This is done by systematically building on student’s experiences and knowledge as they learning. § Just like the scaffolding for construction, these supports are temporary and adjustable. As students master the assigned tasks, the supports are gradually removed.Examples of assignments and projectsAt the beginning
