acknowledge a limitation of our analysis. We recognize that such groupgrade-setting meetings are very likely not the norm for courses in the calculus sequence,in other courses that serve as pre-requisites for engineering, or in engineering courses. Inthis sense, we would not expect our findings to generalize to the specific ways in whichstudents are “weeded out” at other institutions. At the same time, we believe that ourstrategy of analyzing practical dilemmas of grading and sorting, whether this work iscarried out individually or in groups, is a potentially productive one in understandingideological aspects of success and failure.Bibliography1.

Iapproach things.” Rowena saw the actions of engineers as expanding beyond “math andproblems you solve,” acknowledging that the course exposed her to “more opportunities than Ithought in engineering.” However, Marley’s description of engineering was simple: “Build it in away that won’t negatively impact that community.” This is not an indictment against engineers,but a simple expectation of what engineers do, or what they ought to do. Normative ideals of engineers and engineering include the “ought-to”s of the practice. Intheir descriptions of what engineers are, and their previous encounters with engineers andengineering, students had a specific normative vision as to what engineers ought to be and do.Milburn said, “They [Engineers] have a

teamwork across disciplines aremultidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. The two concepts have a great deal common, but mayentail slightly different outcomes for participants and for their projects.Briefly, in multidisciplinary work, collaborators work together on a problem. Each bringsexpertise, but, as Borrego and Newswander explain in their overview of cross-disciplinaryengineering collaboration, “collaborators leave the project without having learned much aboutthe other discipline(s). Each researcher continues on his or her own independent trajectory,unchanged by the experience [8].” This means that, while multidisciplinary work brings togetherpeople with different ways of conceptualizing and operating on problems, each takes on

Every section has a different theme in the STEM fields, centered in the area of expertise ofthe faculty lead instructor, which can range widely in subject. Students rank their top twosection topics in the application and nearly 80% of students are offered their first-choice section.Since 2014, a section entitled, ‘Racecar Design through Engineering Experimentation,’ orRacecar, has been offered with section enrollment around 25 students, which representsclassroom and laboratory capacity.

had never heard of these goals but were alleager to incorporate the sustainable development applications into their proposed design projects.Each student was asked to conduct research on the UN Goals and then write a brief essay onwhich goal(s) they wanted to incorporate into their proposed design project. Each group thendiscussed the goals selected by the individual team members and decided upon the goals thatwere most applicable to their design project. These results can be found on Table 2. Of the 17UN Goals the engineering students selected eight as illustrated in Figure 2. • Goal 5: Gender Equality • Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation • Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
