Paper ID #16803A Thematic Analysis of the Maker Movement in Cyberspace Across CulturalContextsMiss Avneet Hira, Purdue University, West Lafayette Avneet is a doctoral student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research interests include K-12 education and first year engineering in the light of the engineering design process, and inclusion of digital fabrication labs into classrooms. Her current work at the FACE lab is on the use of classroom Makerspaces for an interest-based framework of engineering design. She is also inter- ested in cross-cultural work in engineering education to promote
-apprenticeship. Both categories usedthe prevailing knowledge and technology at that time to build better technologies. Forexample James Nasmyth’s [1] definition of engineering as “common senseapplication of materials” reflects the knowledge and technology, exclusive tomechanical elements, prevailed at that time. Makers are individuals who design andbuild new devices and share their experiences with others. Universities provideopportunities to wake up the dormant geniuses of such individuals among studentswho sometimes may not be turned-on by the traditional classroom teaching. But tomake full exploitation of their geniuses they have to have a comprehensiveknowledge of the prevailing technologies. This paper describes the method by whichknowledge of

, academic engineering curricula tends to focus on developing thetechnical skills of the students, overlooking the soft skills or 21st century skills that are just asimportant. The 21st century skills include critical thinking, communication, teamworkcollaboration, metacognitive awareness, and creativity. Developing such skills will enable futureengineers to effectively engage in interdisciplinary endeavors and adapt to changes in nationalpolicies and emergent technologies. This paper presents a project that integrates 21st century skilldevelopment (i.e., metacognitive awareness, constructive thinking, and communication) into amanufacturing systems course. In this course, students learn about manufacturing systemsthrough a series of teamwork-based

However, traditional lecture-based learning aids almostexclusively in the development of the technical skills. As a consequence, trends in engineeringeducation have surfaced recently that aim at incorporating design and other engineering practiceskills such as teamwork and project management under the supervision of the ABET engineeringcriteria 20006. Based on these trends, project-based learning has been widely adopted as acomplement to traditional lecture-based courses and enhance
