Based on data from Google Scholar, there hasbeen an exponential growth in the number of papers with Arduino, Education, and Engineeringas keywords over the last twenty years (Fig. 1). Since modern engineering problems usually include electrical components, developing aworking understanding and comfort with microprocessors, sensors, and actuators is necessary fortoday’s mechanical engineers [3].

They’re like, ‘Oh you can be an engineer,’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I guess so?’ And I only really got a feel for what I’d be doing [after I got] up here....I don’t know what it [engineering] is.” (p. 12, [12])This frame of mind is pervasive among students in their first year of a program.

Students exist in theworld of the classroom [18], [22], build emerging engineering identity [23], and bring their priorlives and understandings with them into the problem solving process. As each of these facetsfluctuates in a student’s mind, epistemic agency may appear to move between several sources.Something does not have to be an epistemic agent to be treated as if it were one. In the late1980s, Daniel Dennett described the intentional stance: when a person interprets an inanimateobject as having wants and beliefs [24]. Through the intentional stance, students can treatproblems as epistemic agents in the problem solving process. But why might they do this? In theculture of the classroom, students
