government have called for increasingthe enrollment of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) as lessthan 20 percent of those earning bachelor’s degrees in engineering are women 1. According tothe Congressional Joint Economic Committee, about 14 percent of practicing engineers arewomen 2. Multiple organizations and governmental agencies have invested in STEM educationprograms to research the gender disparity. Possible reasons that have been raised regarding lowfemale and minority engineering rates include misconceptions of what engineers do 3, lack ofrole models in engineering 4, and a shortage of engineering experiences for girls in earlyeducation 5. In spite of informal STEM programs out of the classroom, there has been

2017 ASEE St. Lawrence Section Conference Cooperative Learning in DC Circuits Laboratory for Improved Student Success and Equipment Proficiency Steven M. Ciccarelli Rochester Institute of TechnologyAbstractUndergraduate engineering and engineering technology laboratory assignments are oftenperformed as ready-made, step-by-step experiments allowing for little collaboration in theirexecution, with the instructor acting as the content expert and dispenser of facts. In contrast, aconstructivist approach involves the instructor taking less of an authoritarian role and serving asa facilitator, guiding students to
technology platform ardupilot, and 2) design and build aunique payload for the drone. The course assignments involve designing and building the device(a clear engineering challenge) with the more conceptual work of planning for its integration intopro-social organizational processes (a clear peace and justice challenge). To facilitate thisexploration, we have designed the course to minimize lectures and instead use class time forconversations and collaboration. This will be done through a combination of group discussions,team exercises, and collaborative workshops.This paper, submitted as a work-in-progress, presents the current state of our coursedevelopment. We discuss our learning outcomes, describe our pedagogical approaches, andidentify areas

capacityfor science, engineering, technology, and mathematics (STEM) MOOC evaluation and research.This project focuses on the following research questions: (1) What constructs contribute tolearners’ behavior in advanced STEM MOOCs? (2) What stakeholder needs inform theirdecisions in offering and designing advanced STEM MOOCs? and (3) What is a contextsensitive, generalizable framework of evaluation for advanced STEM MOOCs? To answer theseresearch questions, we triangulate information from: stakeholder interviews, surveys of learners,and learner analytics.IntroductionMassive open online courses, or MOOCS, have caused much discussion in both media outletsand academic journals.

engineers gain the knowledge and experience they need tocarry out their work, gradually developing their professional judgment and growing moreindependent.Materials ObstaclesThe second type of obstacle we discovered were materials obstacles. Materials obstacles are notunique to early career engineers—they can happen to anyone. One of the important insights ofresearch in Science and Technology Studies, particularly in the work of Latour and Callon(Callon 1984, Johnson [Latour] 1988), was to show how material objects participate in scientificknowledge creation or social life, often through resisting or redirecting human effort. Thisinsight laid the groundwork for a body of work on how the material world plays an importantrole in social and scientific
