ateither end. In addition to other outcomes, the mindset that a person has determines how theyinterpret mistakes they make; while someone with a fixed mindset thinks mistakes are failuresand result from their innate lack of ability, someone with a growth mindset views mistakes asopportunities to reflect and learn more.The two different mindsets grew out of the earlier work of Dweck et al. who considered howchildren deal with failure [2, 3]. They found that students who placed more emphasis on the roleof effort were more likely to persist during challenging tasks. As a result, Dweck and Legett [4]went on to describe two different forms of self-concept, one following an entity theory and thesecond following an incremental theory; these would later

Final Straw” that wasfocused on accessibility of straw materials within the disability community. For this module,groups of students considered the unique design needs of a marginalized stakeholder who relieson the material properties of single-used plastic straws (e.g., individuals with strength andmobility issues) to recommend an alternative material for the straw (e.g., paper, metal, silicone).In doing so, they must consider the larger economic, environmental, and social impacts of theirmaterial recommendation, and also consider how engineering design and public policy canunintentionally exclude vulnerable populations. Curricular content (e.g., homework, midtermquestions) as well as researcher reflections were used to assess this module

Wood is cheaper, lighter and more easily shaped than any otherconstruction material. However, it is subject to decay and attack by certain insects and isalso flammable. The structure of wood is anisotropic and this is reflected in its physicaland mechanical properties which vary along and across the grains (Farag, 2008).The materials that are currently used in buildings are quite numerous and come in fivemajor families (Ashby et al, 2007):  Composites  Concrete, stone, ceramic, brick, glass, bitumen  Foams, fabrics and fibers  Metals, ferrous and non-ferrous  Polymers

Upon viewing anew concept students often reflect about their own tacit knowledge and try to make a connectionto the new concept, thereby creating their own knowledge. Unfortunately, as educators we oftenassume we don’t have control, or even awareness, of such connections in each of our students’minds, thus it is exceedingly difficult to correct miss-steps along the way. However, by taking aproactive and creative approach, we can guide the visualization process through seeded commonexperiences generated in the classroom, study hall, or laboratory. Setting

Since there were so few students in the class,there also appeared to be a fair amount of accountability to contribute in some way. Evenwhen the students divided into 3 different display projects, the students still relied oneach other for feedback and help.While the final designs seemed to be quite simple at first, there turned out to be a varietyof challenges that had to be overcome.

Note the awkwardness of “biological materials”in a list that includes such succinct terms as “metals,” “ceramics,” and “polymers.” Why not justcall them “biologics?” Such is the nomenclature preferred by one author11, which will beadopted here. (Biologics refer to materials that are biologically-generated; e.g., soft and hardtissues, whereas “biomaterials” generally refer to materials of all classes that can be used inbiological applications; e.g., hip implants.) The drawback to this organizational scheme is that,as pointed out previously, textbooks are not generally organized in such a fashion. There isgrowing sentiment for this approach however, as reflected in a recent edition of one well-knownintroductory materials science text12

So reflecting on the three parts of this project, i.e., the materials selection,fabrication and testing, the student experience incorporated previous engineering knowledgefrom courses, practical hands-on experience, and moved into the realm of independent life-longlearning needed throughout an engineering career.
