additional benefit of thevideo project that positively impacted student learning outcomes.As we have only run this project for one semester, we have several ways that we would like toimprove. One major improvement would be the addition of better control cases. In the future, foreach demonstration video we create, we would like to show it to one lecture section of the class.However, we will record student enjoyment and self-efficacy data from both a lecture sectionthat saw the demonstration, and one that did not. This will enable us to better understand theimpact of the video demonstrations, as we will be able to measure the impact of the video, whilecontrolling for the difficulty of the content being presented.

One suchmodel is known as Research Practice Partnerships (RPPs). RPPs have been used in several fields,including education, with the goal of working collaboratively towards implementing solutions todirectly address problems of practice [2]. In the context of K-12 computer science (CS)education, problems of practice often focus on

projects or ideas with various degrees of guidance andfreedom using the resources available within the community [13]. Studies of qualitative natureindicate that this structure can be associated with positive learning experiences, because it allowspeople to develop their technical and design knowledge, explore solutions to problems, anddevelop a working proficiency with tools and equipment used for creating and prototyping [14],[15]. In the current literature, however, there are few quantitative studies that provide large-scaleevidence of the impacts of makerspace in learning [2], [3], [16], potentially because there is noframework that enables such an assessment.To address this gap and create an instrument that effectively measures the learning

Thequantitative portion of the first scenario prompt was: Please consider the following scenario when answering questions on this screen: Imagine that you are a junior engineer working under the direction of a senior licensed professional engineer (P.E.) with many years of experience in bridge design. During a late- stage design review, significant concerns were expressed about the team’s design possibly leading to an unacceptable level of vibration. The P.E. overrules the concerns without discussion and prepares the bridge design for delivery to the project sponsor

different situatedlearning experiences can influence lifelong learning orientations (attitudes and values related tolifelong learning). There is wide awareness that the engineering profession has a role to play inaddressing global socio-technical problems such as climate change and digital misinformation[1]. At the same time, rapid technological change and other shifts in the labour system mean thatengineers’ workplace responsibilities and career paths are prone to uncertainty and precarity [2].As will be discussed, lifelong learning competencies can enable individuals to navigate thesechanges and challenges in their individual career trajectories and to make innovativetechnological contributions.

AsWenger writes (p. 59), “… I want to preserve the connotations of excessive concreteness and projected reality that are suggested by the dictionary definition. Indeed, no abstraction, tool, or symbol actually captures in its form the practices in the context of which it contributes to an experience of meaning.”Given the noted lack of attention to variability in engineering research [10] and education [11],we expected the student participant-researchers in this study to struggle to identify the presenceand relevance of variability in their engineering coursework.

(2014) [14] predicted persistence using first‐year engineering students' electronic portfolios,extracting information about their course engagement through their reflections about engineeringadvising, project updates, and engineering exploration throughout the course. Using attributesrelated to student activities such as assignment skips, assessment performance, and video skips andlags to predict student dropout in online courses, while the study by Halawa et al.

Role in Personalized Learning and Assessment," two notable studiesoffer substantial insights. The first study, conducted by [8], presents a unique perspective onintroducing machine learning concepts to first-year undergraduate engineering students. Thisexploratory study is significant for its use of authentic and active learning tools, including a publicGoogle site repository and a course project. The methodology adopted by [8] is innovative, as itengages students in an introductory algorithms and MATLAB programming course. The study’sfindings indicate an increased recognition of the importance and usefulness of machine learningamong students, though it also reveals perceived challenges in grasping these concepts. Theapproach employed by [8
pedagogy of using game elements and/or gamedesigns to motivate student learning and promote a growth mindset [1][2][3]. Gamification canbe done in either large or small scopes. Small scope gamification activities usually involvedesigning an individual class activity or assignment in a certain game format, which is verycontext specific. On the other hand, large scope gamification refers to gamifying an entirecourse. Many STEM courses share similar structure (lectures, labs, assignments, projects, etc.),which makes a generic course gamification framework possible.This paper provides a generic framework to gamify a college-level course. Even though theframework can be implemented to turn all course components into game elements, the focus ofthe paper

In this study, the learners' performance was evaluated and data wasgathered from them via a questionnaire. Based on the data collected, the efficacy of the POGILis evaluated through comparative analysis using statistical test.

For the purpose of the analysis presented here,these forms of data were not considered; however, they did influence our thinking about how studentsapproached the laboratory activity.Video transcripts of laboratory work were transcribed verbatim and broken into thematic episodes. Inprevious work (Gavitte, in review), episodes were systematically coded to quantify and categorize thetypes of engineering epistemic practices that were elicited by students while completing the laboratorywork. In this study, we build on that analysis by elaborating on the nature of those epistemic
