includeinductive coding, pattern matching, and thematic analysis. The data will also be analyzedwholistically, combining each participant’s quantitative and qualitative data and analyzing eachtheme (e.g., 4Cs) for agreement, elaboration (e.g., from quantitative to qualitative), and change. Together, these data points will provide triangulation for trustworthy conclusions aboutstudents’ growth throughout the course of a capstone project, adding to the body of literature inthe field. More directly, the results of this study could provide a deeper understanding ofstudents’ perspectives surrounding this specific university’s course, which can further inform theinnovative instruction taking place in the culminating course of the program.Preliminary
undertaken via observations by the researchers. Essentialexperiential elements of each course were observed, with the researchers observing small groupsof students in the context of their projects (e.g., capstone for EDII, school outreach for SL).These observations triangulate the analysis of innovative teaching practices through studentlearning outcomes.Findings Six generative processing strategies were present in the experiential learning courses (seeTable 1) particularly through the course design in both EDII and SL. Both courses were found tobe rooted in contextual generative learning, particularly learning by teaching and enacting,considered the most high-leverage generative processes [3]. To further examine the context inwhich these
dedication from these students, along with their rigorousresearch endeavors, equates to the workload typically associated with two high school coursesper year. This level of commitment could readily qualify as capstone projects or independentstudy credits. Regrettably, very few school districts presently accommodate such research creditswithin their established curricula. Addressing this issue presents an emerging challenge foreducators and administrators: how to design supportive and flexible school curricula thatseamlessly integrate project-based and service-based learning initiatives into students' academiceducation. By developing an advanced school curriculum that incorporates these learningmethodologies, a ripple effect can occur, benefiting a
Department of Electrical Engineering at University of South Florida’s RevolutionizingEngineering Departments grant support radical change in the training of undergraduateengineering students and help them establish identities as professional engineers with thenecessary technical and professional skills needed to solve the complex problems facing societytoday. At the department, the RED program consists of many changes to the departmentincluding new Professional Formation of Engineers (PFE) classes, the Take Responsibility toUnderstand Engineering (TRUE) Lecture series, Track-Focused advisory boards for differentelectrical engineering tracks, and the industry-focused, TRUE-Outreach Capstone Projects. ThePFE classes focus on preparation for
projects are present infirst-year engineering courses, senior capstone projects, and more recently, second and third-year courses [4, 5, 6]. These team interactions demonstrate practical knowledge skills by taskinggroups of students with complex problems. While research on student engineering teams is ex-tensive, few studies to date have explored how students’ intersecting identities impact their expe-riences on teams, particularly at the intersection of race and gender. (Note: in discussing gender,we use the terms “man/men,” “woman/women,” “non-binary,” and “trans-men/women” for gen-eral discussions; when referencing previous research, we use the term used by the researchers;when referencing our participants, we use the term “female” because, as

class. The Senior Capstone class was chosen based on their availability and their priorexperience with the engineering problem solving process and a few different problem-solvingmethods. The second session was with a group of 13 practicing engineers from a medium-sizedmanufacturing company in Hillsboro, OR. This group of engineers was chosen based onavailability and professional experience with problem solving in engineering applications. Thepresentation was part of a monthly meeting traditionally used to discuss new research related tothe company.Experimental Methods The data for this project was collected over the course of two different workshop sessionsfollowing procedures approved by the University of Portland institutional review
