As a firststep, each student worked on their own pumpkin thrower. During the final phase, students workedon the design and manufacturing of the different parts of the project. During the early Fallsemester one student, with faculty supervision, worked on the project to redesign the pouch andtune the system. Students from the Engineering Society have also helped to set it up for tests anddecorations.

For example, the Fellows developed a class on pumpkins to conduct inconjunction with literature, writing and art activities that have been done in the classrooms formany years. These activities have included reading pumpkin stories every day during the unit,painting pictures and gluing cut-outs of pumpkins, etc. The class was used with first, second andthird graders in appropriate form. The children were first asked to brainstorm questions aboutpumpkins that were classified into various groupings

To write a story that encapsulated thesignificance of this realization, I returned to a time when Leslie struggled in engineering designinstruction but persevered; her first day in the Pumpkin Chunkin’ challenge. This paper focuseson that effort.LimitationsMy qualitative approach has several limitations. The sample size for this paper is one limiting thegeneralizability of my conclusions.

A specific learningstrategy that embodies this involves having first year students in the course demonstrate theirability to design and create in a major semester-long project called ‘The Pumpkin LaunchExtravaganza’. This project involves student teams consisting of 8-10 students who conductresearch on how to design launch devices, construct full size machines to launch actualpumpkins at

ofseveral design competencies including problem definition, idea generation, evaluationand decision-making, communication and teamwork.A fourth group design activity that was very well received was the construction of a fullsize pumpkin launcher. This activity gave student groups the design freedom to use anylaunch method they could build for a minimal cost. This allowed for great variation indesign with some launchers using leaf springs from automobiles and being quite large.Other designs used coil springs, weights and were compact. Some designs were muchmore successful than other with the winner throwing a pumpkin over one hundred feet.This activity employed many design skills such as problem definition, idea generation,evaluation and decision

At the beginning, my goal for the mini-reflections was to have students reflecton what they were learning in studio and how that connected to their passions. However, as anew educator I became aware of some of my students disengagement which impacted myreflections to be more focused on their experience in studio or how they were feeling. In the end, students always participated and engaged in the activities. Studentsspecifically seemed to have enjoyed the activities that were focused on their feelings. An examplewould be the activity from week 6 which asked the students to draw a pumpkin with the facialexpression that mirrored their current mood. I
