According to these recommendations2 engineering education should 1)emphasize engineering design; 2) incorporate important and developmentally appropriatemathematics, science, and technology knowledge and skills; and 3) promote engineering “habitsof mind.”The majority of research studies focus on measureable outcomes of K-12 engineering educationprograms. Some have focused on enhanced engineering career awareness.3,4 Others havefocused on increased understanding of engineering design principles.5,6 Yet others have focusedon increased awareness of the ways engineers apply science and mathematics functions andprocedures.7 In all, these assessments of children’s

Two commonly discussed reasons for students leaving STEM fields are academicdifficulty and failure to integrate effectively into the campus community or feelings ofisolation/not fitting in2. A space of this nature, in theory, would address both of these concerns –it would provide academic support and also provide a welcoming atmosphere that allows fornatural interaction with like-minded peers within the larger campus community. Prior to thecreation of this center, many informal study alcoves and spaces existed within classroombuildings on the campus, but none that were staffed or provided consistent access to resources.ImplementationA classroom in one of the two engineering academic

This gives students an opening to understanding engineering early in theiracademic career and can provide a meaningful touchstone during future engineering coursework. With collaborative, project based design in mind, the University of Notre Damedeveloped a new project for its first-year engineering course sequence. First and foremost, theproject was intended to increase student exposure to design through a hands-on experience. Inaddition, the project was created for the first-semester, where students would be concurrently incalculus and chemistry (physics is not taken until second semester). Therefore, the focus shouldbe on a simple model

Resilient responses to design failure include an optimisticmindset that the problem can indeed be solved or that the failure can be overcome.

Perhaps an unstated bias exists that choice equates to less “rigor,” and so theunintended message to students of differential choice in technical versus non-technicalcoursework may be that knowledge and courses in non-technical subjects are comparativelyunimportant. Values are inherent in engineering design; so just as the technical content of anengineering program is (hopefully) carefully scaffolded, “the same intentionality and evaluationshould be undertaken for the liberal component of a student’s undergraduate experience.”6Though some choice is necessary, too much choice can be detrimental;29 thus, providing choicein a balanced manner is essential.

. However, traditional classroom activities emphasizewell-defined problems and encourage students to manipulate abstract symbols such as physics ormathematical formulas to identify solutions. Such reliance on abstract operation, along withhaving little experience of concrete modeling through embodied and prototyping techniques, hasled students to face great challenges when entering engineering programs2. Therefore, middleschool students need increased exposure to engineering design experiences that transform their“habit of the mind”—from fixating on thinking-before-prototyping towards prototyping-to-think.In this study, we structured a toy design workshop to provide hands on and engaging designactivities for middle school students, to help them
