University. The University of East Anglia has been delivering a ‘Rotation PhD’in which students visit different labs in 10-week long research mini-projects, directed bydifferent supervisors and trained in different techniques. The ‘Integrated PhD’ at theUniversity of Southampton has offered 3 laboratory rotation projects after which the studentis awarded an MRes (Master of Research) and they then spend 3 more years deepening theirexpertise towards a PhD degree. These approaches have been successful over the years anddemonstrate an appetite for very varied, skills-training focused programs that provide theresearcher with broader knowledge and varied competencies that prepare them foremployment. However, these programs are typically found in

The smaller production size allowed for‘training configurations’ of the crew: two first-years co-designed and hung the lights, a first-yearstudent served as set designer, dresser, and properties master, they had a sophomore managingthe stage, a first-time producer, and the director and assistant director had a model that was morelike co-directing.

,2010)—using the kinds of classroom artifacts mentioned above to ground detailed discussions ofwhat students were thinking, what was “learned,” and what could be tried next. Below, throughepisodes of seminar activities, we show how such “problems of practice” become objects ofcollective inquiry for the engineering LAs. While inspiring many of our seminar activities,however, the above literature also establishes that becoming more consistently attuned tostudents’ thinking and learning how to respond effectively are difficult, long-term processes fornovice teachers. They are not simple “skills” that can be quickly mastered (Ball, 1993; Jacobs,Lamb, Philipp, & Schappelle, 2011). And this conclusion applies equally strongly to anotheraspect of

participationbecause many students feel more comfortable sharing online (either because of some sense ofanonymity or because they had more time to ponder and formulate a response). Third,instructors may get more interaction with their students because they are communicating outsideof classroom hours9. Moving discussions online can also free up class time to allow for otherforms of active learning. Another benefit provided by the use of online forums as an active learning strategy is theability they provide students to access help outside-of-class. It is common for most STEMstudents, especially those engaged in mathematics, to seek help when working on homeworkassignments or attempting to master conceptual understanding10.

It is important to note that the EDP log is designed for student growth; it is notintended to be mastered in a single use. Examples of some of the tabs filled out by 8th gradestudents are provided in the Results section.In the next section, we review the data collected from both the teachers and students regardingEDP log usage, successes, challenges, and assessment.Data Sources Teacher Interviews: To examine the use of engineering logs, four Middle School (MS)and two High School (HS) technology & engineering teachers were interviewed at the end of thefall semester, 2015.

%) were pursuing biomedical engineering majors;other academic areas of study included civil, electrical/computer, industrial, and mechanicalengineering. Sixteen students participated in-class (26%) and 45 participated online. In the twosummer sessions, all students completed the course asynchronously. However, even in-classstudents completed the bulk of their classwork online. The primary distinction between the in-class and online groups is that the former participated in a weekly lecture/discussion periodwhereas the latter did not. Additionally, most of the online students were enrolled in aprofessional masters degree program, while most of the in-class students were enrolled indoctorate degree programs.

[semi-structured interview]Around that time, Frank spoke with Nathaniel about the program and spurred his interest inparticipating. Nathaniel explained how, Well in high school and actually a friend of mine, we didn't go to the same high school, we went to the same martial arts school and we both became instructors and we learned to kind of teach and interact with people in that way. So we're both here…now and he actually pointed out that there is this program towards the end of my masters and he was saying he was trying to get in to the class because at the time it was by, there were only a certain number of

the proportion of women earning masters and doctoral level degrees has increased inengineering, the proportion of women earning bachelor’s degrees has not. Within computerscience, the rate of women earning bachelor’s degrees actually declined between 1989 and2008.2 Within the academy, the percentage of women with science and engineering doctorateswho are employed as full-time full professors has substantially increased between 1979 to 2008(from 5% to 21%). However, the number and percentage of women at the rank of full professorremains smaller than the number and rank of female faculty at the assistant professor level.2 Inthe science and engineering workforce beyond the academy, NSF data indicates that men andwomen with science and
