American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) has also proposed a set of coreprinciples stipulating that engineering learning may be considered three dimensional with a focuson engineering habits of mind (e.g., creativity, iteration, collaboration), engineering practices(design, optimization, constraint assessment), and engineering knowledge (principles, problemsolving, and technological outputs) [5]. This approach diverges from the way STEM hastypically been taught in U.S. middle schools, where science and engineering principles are rarelyanchored in relevant phenomena [6]. Since teachers often assume the main responsibility forimplementing engineering tasks in their classrooms to comply with the widespread focus onSTEM integration, they may

On the campuses of major universities, Central Appalachian students are oftenmarginalized because these educational spaces were not created with their needs and experiencesin mind. The primary research question is, “What types of cultural capital did CentralAppalachian engineers use to become career-ready engineers during their undergraduateengineering experience at a major university?” This study seeks to provide pilot data for afuture phenomenographic study, with the outcome space being stories of success to provide pathsforward for tomorrow’s engineering students from the Central

Educationsystems and cultural values sometimes prohibit lifelong learning ‘habits of mind’ as the value oflearning or doing responsible, informed work is de-emphasized in relation to short-term goals ofobtaining credentials and being associated with institutional prestige [12]. Broadeningconceptions beyond formal learning in educational institutions or professional developmentprogramming, “lifewide learning” recognizes the multiple overlapping spaces and contextswhere learning occurs [13], [14]. Lifewide conceptions of lifelong learning account for non-economic strands such as family life, social life, and

The purpose of CTA is to capture how the mind works through three primaryaspects: knowledge elicitation, data analysis, and knowledge representation. Many methods ofCTA exist, and best practices call for a combination of CTA methods. In this study we are usingtwo methods: 1) the Critical Decision Method (CDM), which assesses individuals decisionmaking in non-routine incidents through a set of cognitive probes (Klein, 1989), and 2) theKnowledge Audit Method (KAM), which we use to guide our probing questions and identifytypes of knowledge used, or not

learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning

These definitions were uniqueto each participant with little overlap among the responses, which ranged from generating ideas,exploring different perspectives and connections with an open mind, and expressing themselveswhile bringing their own visions to life.

While these students may be moreopen-minded in the classroom, first-generation students require a higher sense of belonging tosucceed in college [3], potentially because they have no prior experience with or knowledge ofcollege.
