Ourresearch questions are focused on the kinds of knowledge that students value, use, and identifywithin the context of an interdisciplinary digital media program, and exploring how theirlanguage reflects this. Our theoretical framework for analyzing epistemology draws uponqualitative work in STEM epistemology [1]–[3], domain specificity [4], [5

Student participation can also be viewed as a form of cognitiveapprenticeship [9] and fits easily with notions of active learning, and problem-based learning[19]. For HFOSS, the community can help provide a support system of experts with a variety ofbackgrounds [28]. In addition, [34] concludes that such collaboration can help reduce theimpact of gender stereotype. 2.1.2 HFOSS in Education. Open source software has been used as a basis for studentsoftware engineering learning since the late 1990’s [31]. A common approach is to utilize aFOSS project as the basis for a capstone project [3, 10]. One obvious way for students toparticipate in a FOSS project is via code contributions

Engineering programs, in general, andcapstone design programs, in particular, that seek innovative conceptual solutions to complexproblems would benefit from techniques to develop and assess student creativity. Therefore, astudy was performed to evaluate two such techniques. Over the first two years of the study,capstone design students in the United States Air Force Academy’s Department of EngineeringMechanics were each assigned to one of 14 teams which received various learning experiences(treatments) intended to enhance individual creativity and design project

This line of inquiry brings us to the guiding research questions for this work.Are there aspects of play which can be used to inform pedagogies which improve learningoutcomes and student experience? What aspects of play are important for learning? How canthese be emulated in engineering design projects to create meaningful learning experiences?Literature ContextOne of the primary reasons to pursue play in education is that well-designed playful activities arecommonly associated with enjoyment, engagement and immersion.
