First, the classroom observations, interviews, and discussions with theteachers allow a deeper understanding of student cognition. These then inform the design ofpre/posttests. Second, the qualitative analyses of student design behaviors and reflective notescaptured through Energy3D provide information on students’ approaches to design. Third, thesecombined insights help inform the development and validation of models for the process analyticssuch as time series mining, association rule mining, and combined action-note analysis.

thesemeetings was invaluable as we transitioned to more integrated self-direct learning for studentsand faculty. Through this learning initiative, the faculty built the capacity to reflect and examineassumptions. We also believe that an important part of this experiment was the availability of thestudent community voice as feedback to the faculty.Students took between half and three-quarters of their course load with faculty who taught pre-existing general education courses. The difference for the students was that they took courseswith a cohort and that faculty attempted to integrate content across disciplines. Courses includedEnglish, communications, humanities (ethnic studies, history, sociology), STEM (physics,biology, and engineering). Students

The effectiveness of writing-based interventions to learn domain specific content hasbeen documented across scientific fields including, but not limited to: biology, chemistry,ecology, and physics [29-37]. These and other studies have shown that writing-based STEMinterventions can improve students’ reasoning and conceptual understanding [33, 38-41] and thatwriting becomes even more effective when it includes formative feedback and reflection (p. 84,[42]). For example, a meta-analysis by Bangert-Drowns et al. [43] across 47 studies consideredthe effects of writing-to-learn with feedback compared to writing with no feedback. Feedbackwas more effective than no feedback for academic achievement, with an effect size

The tension test module is designed to extendon conventional stress-strain curve parameterization by first introducing bi-linear models (Figure1).

This disconnect highlights the needfor educational strategies that better integrate experiential learning with academic evaluation.Future course designs should consider embedding exam-aligned makerspace activities ordeveloping reflective practices that bridge the practical and theoretical aspects of engineeringeducation. This study extends existing models of engineering identity development bydemonstrating that multidisciplinary makerspace activities can enhance identity dimensions evenoutside traditional disciplinary boundaries.

This blending of basic coding skills and theapplication of those skills to renewable energy related problems and phenomena also made theprogram accessible to students and reflective of some knowledge and skills they had alreadydeveloped.The design of the curriculum and program was influenced by Bronfenbrenner’s EcologicalSystems Theory [1].
