However, when large numbers of students flounder on open-endedproblems that require deeper understanding of the material, it becomes clear that the educationalprocess is not working.Cognition research2,13,15 has addressed situations such as these in which students are faced withtasks that do not have apparent meaning or logic. For students to “learn with understanding,”they need to “take time to explore underlying concepts and to generate connections to other[knowledge] they possess.”2 For several years, our teaching strategy has focused on givingstudents first-hand experiences with electric motors and balancing devices in the laboratory.

Additionally, the two sections shared laboratory sections 3and used the same graded assignments and tests. Results of this study again showed that studentsin classes with CCEs score higher on the CS knowledge test than students in non-CCE classes,further supporting the hypothesis that CCEs contribute to learning core CS concepts.Recent Findings The most recent extension of our project is the investigation of the impact of CCEs

In particular, university affiliated makerspaces have the potential to supportinnovation and design alongside the undergraduate engineering curriculum. the instructor’sperspective is vital to support engineering students in their use of these spaces. To betterunderstand these strategies, this paper uses a descriptive case-study approach to identify lessonslearned to encourage student engagement in a university makerspace.
