AbstractThe ‘Changing Futures Project’ aimed to directly tackle an issue that has been long reportedin both academic and professional body spheres, that of student failure in engineering education[1,2] . It focused on the experiences of 96 Engineering & Applied Science students who wereclassified as ‘failing’ or ‘trailing’ in one or more modules. One of the unforeseen outcomes ofthe project was the high numbers of students who reported that they had been experiencingmental health problems at the time when they found themselves failing.

The interviews called on youth to give a guided, narrative description oftheir work on a design project accomplished in their engineering-focused, girls-only afterschoolprogram. Interviews were augmented with programmatic observations, so the analysts couldtriangulate evidence from interviews with observations of girls engaged in the projects. Incollaboration with the curriculum development team, a rubric was developed to measure theextent to which girls communicated effective engineering design, specifically: a) understandingof the design challenge, b) evaluation of design strengths and weaknesses, and c) evidence
