Clemson University, with a joint appointment in Bioengineering. Her research focuses on the interactions between student motivation and their learning experiences. Her projects involve the study of student perceptions, beliefs and attitudes towards becoming engineers and scientists, and their problem solving processes. Other projects in the Benson group include effects of student-centered active learning, self-regulated learning, and incorporat- ing engineering into secondary science and mathematics classrooms. Her education includes a B.S. in Bioengineering from the University of Vermont, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Bioengineering from Clemson University. c American Society for Engineering

progress has been questioned, as has the notion that technology itself isvalue-free.According to philosopher Eric Katz, “Perhaps the oldest commonplace about the nature oftechnology is that technological artifacts are inherently neutral or value-free. Humans createtechnological objects for a specific range of purposes, but the actual use of the technology issubject to the intentions of the user.”5 A serious debate crystallized after the explosion of theatomic bomb, an action that psychologically leveled Manhattan Project civilian director J. RobertOppenheimer and stunned others involved in its creation; Monsanto’s Charles Thomas, forexample, expressed grave concern after the Trinity test: “It is safe to say that nothing as terriblehas been made by

focus of many in education and in industry. To maintain its position as atechnological leader, the United States must not only continue to produce high-quality STEMfield graduates but accelerate this production. The priority of this effort is revealed by PresidentBarack Obama’s push to produce an additional one million STEM graduates within a decade andan additional 100,000 new teachers in these fields (Feder, 2012). The sheer number of graduatesrequired to fill the projected jobs in STEM fields will require both increasing the number ofstudents entering these fields but also reducing the rate that college students exit these fields.One of the keys to increasing the number of STEM professionals is to understand why studentswho start STEM

: How do students perceive the benefits and drawbacks of co-op participation? A. Both co-op and non-co-op students positively perceive co-op participation as providing in-depth experience.Both co-op and non-co-op students described the depth of experience gained through co-opparticipation as one of its primary benefits. The students attributed this depth of experience bothto the length of the co-op terms and to the multiple rotations with the same company. Theydescribed how this structure of co-op terms allowed students to become “immersed” in the co-opcompany and to learn more from in-depth projects. For example, Chris, a first-year engineeringstudent, wanted to “get more of an in-depth experience” and thus chose to pursue a co-op

education curriculum. This line ofinquiry is relevant to issues of representation in engineering schools: the socio-technical divideimpacts undergraduate engineering retention, especially students from historicallyunderrepresented groups in engineering (e.g. women, students of color, LGBTQIA, indigenous1people, and low-income) [5]. A recurring justification for upholding the socio-technical divide(that we have heard voiced during discussions about engineering curricula and that we want tointerrogate) is that technical content would have to be sacrificed in order to accommodate socialjustice issues. Therefore, a project in which students add context to traditional engineeringscience problems has the transformative potential of reaching students
