instance,in project-based classrooms, instruction provides context that helps students connect what theyare learning to why it matters and what it is useful for [36-39]. Project-based courses can changestudents’ minds about the usefulness of content they are learning [40]. We asked students toevaluate whether what they were learning mattered for their future careers.Projective identification: knowing an engineer, or someone who knows about engineeringHaving a relative—not necessarily a parent—can strongly influence students’ choices aboutwanting to become an engineer [41]. Some studies have found a greater impact on women, andthat “engineering family members are passing on engineering-related knowledge, interests, andaspirations” [42]. Thus

Here, the top circle is the engine of all student activities related to learning frombuilding rockets. It also appears to be the driver of student attitudes about learning, particularlywhen students describe their collaborative activities leading to learning independence. Second,the attitudinal mindset of the groups was learning from failure. When a student occasionallyrevealed what they needed to overcome the “failures,” the answer was often more data andresearch. These failures were related to testing aspects of the rocket that one finds in theengineering design process, rather than failures of will or

attitude toward the engineering design cycle not only made the learningmore fun, but also allowed students to take risks. Failure was always an option because learninghow to deal with failure is valuable, it helps students to recover faster the next time theyencounter a design issue. Encouraging students to build a skill set to diagnose issues was just asimportant as making sure they produce an end product.6 Understanding by Design (UBD) is a process where teachers create an educational unitwith the end goal in mind.7 In this work the end goal was for students to create a gourmetmolecular gastronomy (MG) snack created during a Cook-Off event.

. Finally, if a person exhibits a physical reaction (e.g., sweaty palms, racingheartrate) to a task, these physiological states can lead to positive or negative changes in self-efficacy. We believe that a summer research experience can contribute positively to thedevelopment of each of these four factors and thus to improved self-efficacy for engineeringamong participants.With all of this in mind, the TTE REU Program was created with the goals of increasing studentself-efficacy and transfer rates of community college students into STEM.

genre-specific features among other genres, too.Focus group responses noted both similarities and differences among writing assignments inFYC and engineering laboratory courses. Students agreed that writing assignments in bothcourses included writing for an audience with a purpose in mind, employing rhetorical appeals(logos, pathos, and ethos), and using evidence as support. Many of the distinctions that studentsnoted emphasized differences in how these elements were employed. For example, studentsnoted the difference between using thesis statements in research papers and using hypotheses inlab reports to define the genre’s purpose. They also observed that there is little pathos in labreports, and that lab reports tend to emphasize logos and

With this in mind, more work needs to be done to betterunderstand how engineering students conceptualize empathy and view its role in engineeringpractice. Such understanding can further enhance efforts to promote the development of moreempathic engineers. To fill this gap in the literature, we investigated the ways that engineeringstudents described empathy and its application in their engineering work at a large publicMidwestern University. As such, this study was guided by the following research questions: 1. How do engineering students describe their experiences with empathy? 2. From the perspective of engineering students

Resilient responses to design failure include an optimisticmindset that the problem can indeed be solved or that the failure can be overcome. Theseresponses are representative of a growth mindset, in which students learn from failure andbelieve that growth is a natural byproduct
