students’experience of the given project within the informal environment, as well as, their understandingtheir learning through this non-curricular setting. Open-ended questions were developed toencourage students’ natural statements about their experiences.The interview protocol included open-ended questions. The open-ended questions provided themeans to explore students’ thinking about their learning. Sample questions included “How wouldyou describe your process?” The purpose for this question was to understand how studentsthought about the design of their product (ABET student outcome [c]), problem solving (ABETstudent outcome [e]), and experimentation processes (ABET student outcome [b]). We did notspecifically prompt them to consider these processes

mechanism for ensuring course consistency was the course andsubordinate lesson objectives, as approved by the department program director. In all cases, theseobjectives were not altered, either to increase or reduce content.Using lesson objectives as the guiding parameter, lesson restructuring followed a generallyconsistent pattern. First, any lessons under the 40 class format that were “drop periods” (used toprovide students with compensatory time) were eliminated from the schedule. Additionally,lessons used as working group sessions for larger projects and laboratories were rolled intoadjacent lessons that presented new material. It should be noted that this action reduced workinggroup session time from 55 minutes to a shortened period as allowed

the reporting of havinga close relative in the field. As the National Academy of Engineering asserts, engineering is not avery public facing discipline for the most part [2] and so while it is understandable that themajority of student who select engineering as a major may not fully understand all that theprofession entails, the researchers thought that having a relationship with an engineer might be amitigating factor in perceptions of the profession.Additionally, these results differed from the findings in Besterfield-Sacre, Moreno, Shuman, &Atman [3] that skill perceptions differed by gender. The current research did not reveal any suchdisparity in how females and males view engineering skills.LimitationsThis project was initiated in

Although theinstrument is a highly studied and cited resilience measure, we found no empirical study thatdocuments the validity of its use with engineering students.The CD-RISC is a 25-item resilience instrument that measures the resilience construct and itscognates. Although the literature identifies the CD-RISC as a reliable measure, efforts to replicatethe factorial structure in different samples have not been successful [15, 16].
