In the Engineering Clinic, every team wasrequired to present the social implications of its project in a design review. Economy seemed tobe the most popular field

idea of possible selvesand identity play to examine this process.Interactive Response and InteractionsFrom our early observations of the students’ use of the portfolios, we could see that identitywork and play occur in a variety of contexts, mediated by individual reflections as well as theresponses and interactions of other individuals. These observations informed our categorizationof “Interactive Response” (IR) as a site of learning mediated by diverse interactions with bothpeople (instructors, peers, friends/family, clients) and symbolic artifacts (e.g., professional codesof ethics). In this conception of IR, we pick up on Hattie and Timperley’s broader notion offeedback as provided by multiple “agent[s]”[8] in response to a particular

We would certainly encourage all engineering educators, and not just those affiliatedwith our division, to consider the broader social and ethical foundations for engineeringeducation that go beyond the most immediate political and industrial (and even professional)interests.Finally, based on a very helpful suggestion made by one of the reviewers, I leave the reader with“some challenges for personal reflection and action” that also emerge out of this story about PSI.Being less connected one to another, they are presented in bullet form.

Therefore, high school students‟attitudes to engineering may be an important predictor of not only being adequately preparedto engineering but its pursuit. If more high school students acquire positive attitudes towardsengineering, more of them will be motivated to choose engineering as a career.An attitude is a
