While thislarger study will present the perspectives of these students currently enrolled in their engineeringdiscipline, a missing piece of this project revolves around how these students perceived ofengineering before they arrived to campus. Thus, the goal of this work is to investigate if andhow student perceptions of a specific engineering discipline – in this case mechanicalengineering – varies across ethnic or gender demographics among students

A primary educational goal of this project is to present engineering design activities inbroad contexts that intentionally integrate more humanistic or social dimensions of the problemcontext. After a brief on the background of this project, we explain the theories about theimportance of interests for learning and development, and person and thing orientations that weadopt to understand our participants’ social or object oriented orientations of their personalinterests.

FlowGo could support female interest as it can be used for projects to help people or animals,such as irrigation or pet water-providing systems, or artistic expression, such as fountains or water sculpture.Second, FlowGo could serve as a classroom tool that helps teachers meet new teaching standards on engi-neering subjects.
