eighteenundergraduate students that hail from different disciplines, we are currently in the beginningstages of implementing a fully-functional maker space in the primary library for undergraduates.Our planning was and is strongly informed by the Stanford d.school method of design thinkingconsisting of five fundamental steps of: empathizing, defining, ideation, prototyping, and testing.Using this method as a framework, we will describe our experiences with the development,design, and implementation of a student-led makerspace. Given that it is rare for students on ourcampus to take on a task as seemingly large as developing a makerspace, we feel it is necessaryto highlight the resources and infrastructure needed in terms of people, facilities, and funding
-term. You can set goals for your personal andprofessional life. Your goals can have varying complexity and time frames as well. Take sometime to think about your professional and personal goals; they will serve as a guide throughoutyour time in graduate school. Tracy 1 provides seven steps that are helpful for setting andachieving goals: 1. “Decide exactly what you want” 2. “Write it down” 3. “Set a deadline on your goal; set subdeadlines if necessary” 4. “Make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal” 5. “Organize the list into a plan” 6. “Take action on your plan immediately” 7. “Resolve to do something every single day that moves you toward your major goal”As an

mentors, who were critically involved in both the planningand execution of each of the following areas: BSC orientation, the development of onlinesupporting resources, Tech Friday workshops, tutoring, and the organization of a yearly STEMchallenge.It is important to note that all the events and services provided by BSC are run by the studentmentors. The faculty in charge of the program provide the resources needed and ensure that theprogram is producing valuable results. We, the BSC student mentors, plan the events, decide onTech Friday topics, manage the website and event registrations, develop activities for our STEMchallenge, and write all documents used in our activities, including this paper. We, the BSCmentors, will describe below the

students in public universities is around 50%, while the graduation rates at private universities are around 69%1.This paper aims to broadly explore and discuss how student and professor expectations mayinfluence students’ conceptions of engineering identity, their acquisition of knowledge andskills, as well as their plans for navigation through the “engineering pipeline” by analyzing theinterview responses of two freshman engineering students and one engineering faculty member.MotivationsAs stated earlier, it is important to acknowledge that engineering identity is not necessarily asconcrete or fixed as research might suggest13,14,19. It is likely that each individual studentpossesses a different understanding of the engineering profession, as

Curricular PrioritiesAccording to Wiggins & McTighe (2005) the first stage of Backward Design is identifying thedesired results that are organized based on their priorities in the following three categories:1. Enduring outcomesAs described by Wiggins & McTighe (2005) this portion of the curricular priorities encompassesthe content and "big ideas that have enduring value beyond the classroom" as well as "reside inthe heart of discipline” and also those that “require uncoverage and offer potential for studentsengagement". Based on the research findings as explained by Condoor et al. (2008); Steif andDollar (2005) the main output of
