Moreover, he investigated software components toenable interactive visualization of real-time data of body form/function, much like a video gamefor encouraging users to make progress in their training. After conducting research on conditions,such as heart disease and stroke, and examining the treatments, i.e. exercises, he picked onemeasurement that can be used to assess the patient’s progress with an exercise and determine whichsensor(s) could appropriately measure it. Next, he developed a hardware prototype (see Figure 8)and addressed data visualization

of framing an engineering problem as being composed of discretesystems, the Circle Way recognizes that the parts are not only interacting, but that the boundariesbetween them are shifting, arbitrary, and often far from clear. The Circle Way challengesparticipants to shift their orientation from a collection of individuals to a co-creating community.For instance, consider a technical project team: one typical approach would be to break down theproject into the electrical, mechanical, and software (etc.) engineering sub-projects, assign eachto the student(s) of that major, and integrate the completed parts into the whole system at thevery end. If instead students used the Circle Way approach to discuss and share ideas about thewhole project

12.2 Student CreativityA survey was designed and implemented before and after the course to measure the impact ofcourse participation on students’ self-perception of their creative tendencies. We utilized twoexisting surveys: the Reisman Diagnostic Creativity Assessment (RDCA) [10] and theInnovative Behavior Scales (IBS) [11]. We chose two instruments, as while the RDCA coveredmost of the course objectives, an inspection of Reisman et al. [10] indicated that the surveyconstructs had questionable reliability in prior use. Therefore, our team refined this instrumentand its constructs prior to data collection. In contrast, our team had utilized Dyer et al.’s (2008)instrument in the past, with results that had excellent reliability. Notably, the

Biomolecular Engineering. Common across all teams is a minimumtimeframe of three to five years. Teams typically become integral parts of faculty researchprograms, continually evolving with the team advisor’s research.3. The program is curricular and all participating students are graded (A-F; not P/F, S/U). VIPis not an extra- or co-curricular activity. It is a sequence of courses whose credits count towardsstudents' degree requirements, and letter grading holds students accountable for their work. Inmany ways, feedback and grading in VIP is like an evaluation in the workplace. Work isevaluated, guidance is given, and students have the opportunity to improve.

We found it critical to combinethe existing frameworks [13, 19] because its combination and adaptions allows us toinvestigate engineering identity development within makerspaces. Adapting only one orthe other would not allow us to account for either the social factors that are present incommunities of practice or different factors that are known to influence engineeringidentity development. Taken together, we are able to investigate one, situated within theother. Figure 1 may help clarify our adaptation.

It refers to A multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the requirements (their history, political agendas, desires, forms of knowledge, etc.) is fully understood [19, p. 125].Although students in IFCS did not engage with an actual community, the posing of the tankproblem underscored the value of listening to a community to

Such programs may be self-regulated, assisted by a parent,or led by an informal educator (e.g., a camp counselor).The Informal Pathways to Engineering StudyTo answer our research questions, we created a longitudinal study following 60 middle schoolstudents in two states. 10 of these students are not traditionally schooled. 8 students are currentlyhomeschooled by their parent(s) and 2 students attend virtual public schools and have instructorswho are not their parents.

because when an engineer frames a problem, s/he gainsownership of the problem; having such ownership affirms her/his identity as an engineer. Thus,we sought to connect student assets to problem framing as a means to support a growth mindsetwherein diverse students view themselves as already having the capabilities to participate in thedesign process.Next stepsThere have been calls for more research specifically looking at how, when and why certaingroups—including Hispanics and Native Americans—initially choose and then persist inengineering.8 This research begins to address this call. Simply identifying engineering assets andnot acting on them will do little to change student persistence. This study represents a first step ina longer research
