The study uses a material-semioticapproach based on actor-network theory (ANT), which focuses on the interactions betweenpeople, things, and ideas within a constantly shifting network. That approach is used to study theintersections between students’ network of academic practice and the network of industry-basedpractice that they are preparing to enter. Specifically, it looks at how industry-based problemsand examples are represented in material aspects of students’ academic practice throughhomework, lecture slides, and other course materials.The study was designed to provide a foundation for a new initiative being launched in Spring2019.

A variety of research has been conducted tocatalog the positive impacts of makerspaces especially as it relates to engineering education. Ascampuses develop makerspaces, they have used the spaces as a type of laboratory to test theimpact of projects and courses related to making.
