contentauthored by graduate students with subject matter knowledge in Robotics. We discuss ourprocess for reviewing each chapter of the OER textbook, including readings to prompt studentthought and reflection, and how we leverage the Universal Design for Learning (UDL)Guidelines [6] for examining the chapters for learner-centeredness. We highlight the benefits ofincluding students in creating learning materials, such as how students know what works inteaching and learning and what falls short. As such, incorporating student feedback can infusematerials with learner-centered elements and provide opportunities to improve howtextbook-based OER presents information, perspectives, and ways of thinking about the subjectmatter in ways that traditional textbooks

In the spring modules are built and tested,integrated, iterated, then the project finally undergoes an acceptance test. While the V-model isintuitive for those with design experience, as a project management model it does not accuratelythe reflect the actual and iterative work of design so it needs to be implemented flexibly and withsignificant scaffolding.Because capstone courses can be very time-intensive for faculty, the instructors have developed asignificant amount of scaffolding over time using an action-based research approach [4] (seenext section). This has resulted in a “hands-off” approach where students have responsibility formost project decisions. While

. Three research questions are asked:RQ1: How does student STEM SC relate to their design performance in parametricbuilding design? In this study, “design performance” refers to the ability of students to generatesolutions that have good performance in quantitative metrics such as low energy usage. Previousresearch shows that student self-efficacy and performance are positively related both outside ofSTEM [11] and in STEM [12]. However, this study evaluates performance specifically in abuilding design exercise with quantitative goals that are simulated within a parametric designtool. This relationship can reflect potential student effectiveness in technical building design, butit does not fully reflect student behavior. The extent of their

Concept development works to pare down and combineelements of this list into manageable numbers, no more than a dozen or so for consideration. Ashuman-centered design is a defining characteristic of design thinking, the finalized list ofsolutions should reflect the user’s needs in an end product [9].

CAD offers precision and efficiency but oftenat the expense of the instinctive comprehension associated with freehand sketching [9].Studies by Merzdorf et al. [10] and Contero et al. [11] have underscored the importance ofsketching instruction in augmenting spatial skills, thereby improving students’ overall designprocess in engineering education. This underlines the critical role of spatial visualization in sketchcreation, indicating that experts in the field prioritize the shape quality metrics over line quality insketches.

This relational interview process is fundamental to ethnographic interviewing [5].Similarly, participant observation allows researchers to relationally discover, in-situ, how clientsunderstand and articulate problems. Neither insider nor outsider, the role of the participant-observer is to gain understanding through immersion, often reflected in ethnographic fieldnotes[6]. Thus, observation is another important skill to be developed.In terms of pedagogical design, the team decided to use a flipped classroom strategy.

However, the ongoing initiatives to reflect the more creative and less rigidlydesigned nature of making can be challenging to implement since many ideas are, or seem to be,counterintuitive to existing organizational structures within traditional academia. This difficultyis especially true in engineering-focused entities where the parties that have historically managedexisting workspaces and their resources may not be as familiar with the pedological approachesand philosophies behind these areas. In addition, by the very nature of making, many commontrends in makerspaces present unique challenges for the management; often, they

This would allow a multidisciplinaryteam of engineering undergraduates to have more experience of design with iterative steps thanis possible in the collection of separate prerequisite courses. They would also be able to havemore authentic experiences of project reporting with periodic reviews or quick poster snapshots(sessions where posters that reflect project status at key points are presented) as well as having towork with integration of hardware and software systems. All these elements are intended tobetter prepare students for the follow-on senior design (capstone) course, where the projects aremore complex and more open-ended.

The design work of each group was assessed by both the instructor andtheir peers following the same sustainable design rubric shown in Table 2. Peer evaluation is aneffective collaborative learning strategy [19]. Related to self-assessment, peer evaluationencourages students to critically examine peers’ work and reflect on the meaning of quality workin general, primarily when consulting a detailed rubric as a guide. Students themselves providefeedback to one another, while the instructor focuses on more targeted guidance toward alearning outcome.

It wasthe latter that was perceived to happen infrequently, as it requires abstraction of strategies fromthe particular learning context and the effortful search for their relevance to a new problem [10].Research on improving transfer among engineering students has built on these theories toemphasize the need for teaching fundamental concepts and their relevance for application in newsituations for students to achieve “mastery” [11].

the assigned process mechanicallybecause their project deliverables follow the steps in the process. Engineering students need to study design. In other disciplines, students begin by observingthe phenomena to be studied, but engineering students are plunged into a design process (especiallyin cornerstone design courses) before they have ever seen anyone design. Indeed, engineeringstudents learn about design in cornerstone design courses, but they learn only one process, whichis a limited perspective, and they have little opportunity to reflect upon the process and consideralternatives. By observing more experienced students and professional engineers, new engineeringstudents gain a richer understanding of design. Moreover, this type of

Some of these similarities are:● Both are iterative, adaptive, and collaborative processes that help solve ill-defined and open-ended problems that are not amenable to being routinized or solved algorithmically (aka “puzzles”). The iterative and nonlinear nature of both design methodologies is reflected in the existent feedback loops.

Before making our own, we want to learn from previous projects what doesand does not work in existing assessment tools with a critical lens. Often, the tests currently usedin literature and the subsequent course or curriculum appear to result in score gains of studentsafter the intervention [3]. We are questioning whether this could be a result of the test notaccurately capturing the spatial visualization skills initially, whether this reflects ceiling/flooreffect in statistical data analyses, or if gains
