results reported herein suggest that implementing PBL is advantageous, at least on thetime-scale of students’ immediate participation in the course, it is also necessary to evaluate howstudents’ engagement in PBL impacts their future coursework. Moreover, as PBL continues togain traction in engineering education, it will become necessary to determine the extent to whichit prepares students for professional practice. If PBL can implemented such that it shrinks thegap between students’ conception of school knowledge and professional knowledge, it is likelythat implementing PBL more broadly can better equip students for careers in engineering.ReferencesAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Flow because they do not introduce the distraction of technology when it is notdirectly related to or in support of student learning.Based on the outcomes from our focus groups, we have several recommendations for otherswishing to use ESM in engineering classrooms. First, do not discount pen/pencil and papermethods. Students might actually prefer such approaches but it will depend on the exact contextof the study. Second, although quantitative-type questions facilitate compilation and analysis ofdata, be sure to leave adequate space for free responses as this was important to focus groupparticipants. However, we recognize that implementation of the pen/pencil and paper method inreal-time could be a complex task even though it is low technology

: • Generate data in naturalistic settings that are chosen or intentionally designed to affirm the participants.Handling DataRelatedly, deficit views are often perpetuated when people exclusively focus on individualsrather than focusing on the ecologies in which they are embedded. For example, NAEP hasfound that African Americans performed worse than White students on measures of engineeringand technology literacy.[40] Rather than blaming individuals for this finding (e.g., by saying thatthe individual students were less motivated to study engineering) researchers can look at systemsfactors, such as the characteristics of the schools that African Americans attend, whether or notthe tasks on the engineering assessment were culturally congruent
