related to classroom instructors’ feedback onsite leadership performance including areas of management, supervision, their ability to givefeedback, professionalism, work ethic and problem solving skills. These results will then becompared to the classroom instructors interest outcomes on the SEEK program. The implicationsof this research include better understanding the role of leadership during short-term, out-of-school (OST) engineering programs such as training and professional development and otherpotential best practices.INTRODUCTIONOut-of-school time (OST) programs including after-school, before-school, and summer-basedactivities assist with narrowing the achievement gap and increasing interest in STEM forstudents of color.

these are elements that are potentiallyidentifiable in an individual lesson. In addition NAE (2009) lists six engineering habits of mind.These overlap with the 21st century skills (2016) and include communication, collaboration (bothalso in Guzey), optimism, systems thinking, ethical thinking, and creativity.The innovations, listed in Sias, that are used in this paper as a part of the check off rubricdeveloped are student-centered learning, place-based learning, integration of instructionaltechnology, project-based learning, family involvement, inquiry, and STEM practices. Onlytwo innovations from Sias, et al. are not included, 21st century skills, because it overlaps withanother element chosen from another source, that of engineering habits of

in Round 3 showed high levels of consensus (greater than 85% rating 4 or above) except for the themes: Problem Focused and Develops Products, Processes, and Protocols (with 67% and 73% rating above 4, respectively). Of the themes with high consensus, the most stable were Multiple Solutions, Creative, Learns from Failure, and Requires Communication, and Unique Way of Knowing(with 10% or greater stability). The themes, Uses Modeling, Criteria and Constraints, and Collaborative were less stable but had stability between 15% and 11%. The remaining items (Involves Systems Thinking, Design Process, Multidisciplinary, Ethical, and Contextual) had the least stable results with values ranging from 16% to 23%. While some items were not

metacognition during the design process and other relevantengineering activities. Instruction in engineering will also help students develop Conceptions ofEngineers and Engineering (CEE) as they understand the many fields of work withinengineering and engineers roles in society. Becoming adept with the Tools, Techniques, andProcesses (ETools) for successfully accomplishing tasks is a goal of engineering educationoutside of the design process itself. When studying design problems, students should be mindfulof the surrounding Issues, Solutions, and Impact (ISI) and the global systems they affect, whileadopting the Ethical Responsibility (Ethics) of following engineering regulations and standards.Finally, Teamwork (Team) and Communication

guided ideation processIt is important to note here, that by virtue of our focus being onwearables and health, participants are also challenged to explore the broader implications ofengineering design including: human factors, ethical considerations, issues related to privacy ofinformation, etc. These are all critical aspects of real-world engineering challenges.Professional SkillsThe need for ongoing professional skills development of students,particularly in engineering, is prevalent. Perhaps most notably, theNational Academy of Engineering publication, The Engineer of20208, outlines a number of desirable attributes among which wefind: communication, creativity, and leadership.

broad categories for these competencies. For example, as outlined inFurco and Billig’s Service-Learning: The Essence of Pedagogy11, some learning non-academicoutcomes that are intrinsic to the service-learning philosophy fall within these domains:vocational (career); personal; civic and cultural; ethical; and, social. For a more thoroughelaboration of these domains, the reader is directed toward the original source. Other key components driving the decisions behind the project selection in a service-learning context are the resources available and student capacities to meaningful engage in theproposed projects. Resources refer to the institutional, community, financial, and materialresources and support available to a service-learning

of engineering and other content is critical. Recent findings makeclear that when provided with a relevant design problem and scaffolding, even young studentscan design solutions and learn as they do so.Significance and implicationsWhile we found increasingly rigorous approaches to research methods, there are stillopportunities for growth tied to qualitative methods in particular. However, we found a numberof persistent methodological issues that have continued since our initial review. To address these,we suggest the following; journals and conferences should: • encourage more rigorous studies by providing clearer guidelines about qualitative and quantitative methods; • encourage more ethical human subjects research by

: including“specified criteria for success” as they go about defining problems, and planning and carryingout “fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identifyaspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.”6 Another principle for elementary through high school engineering education, accordingto the Committee on K12 Engineering Education, is that it promotes engineering habits of mind.Specifically, the committee referenced the following habits of mind: “systems thinking,collaboration, ethical considerations, creativity, communication and optimism.”7 Optimism“reflects a world view in which possibilities and opportunities can be found in every challengeand an understanding that every technology can
