With thesegoals in mind, the objective of this study was to examine how a newly developed instructionalmodel, known as Argument Driven Engineering (ADE), is related to changes in middle schoolstudents’ attitudes toward engineering and participation in engineering careers. This study ofengineering attitudes is important both for developing effective curriculum and pedagogy forengineering in science classrooms, and also for addressing nation-wide problems with diverserepresentation and participation in engineering degree programs and occupations.In 2012 the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a reportprojecting

also presenting some recognition of therelativistic nature of morality – and of design.Semester 2There were few, if any, changes in Brenda’s ethical orientation. She still maintained, for the mostpart, dualistic descriptions of morality and continued to appeal to authority structures as sourcesfor moral answers in design. Similar to her first semester, Brenda’s basic conceptions of ethicswere constrained by professional standards and established codes of practices. I: When you hear the word ethics, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? R: Um, I think of professional ethics [pause] in engineering, like different codes of practice.

Throughout the process, I was struck by the fact thatpracticing engineers on the site describe how they love their jobs, but are very vocal about thefact that they face barriers because they are women and that engineering is a difficult anddemanding profession. Furthermore, young women are encouraged to use individual strategiesthat often focus on cultivating a confident subjectivity and engaging in hard work to overcomebarriers in engineering. While such advice may seem to progressive, in many ways it contributesto the maintenance of gender inequalities in

However, their perceptions of engineers as persons did not change.Interestingly, the citizen scientists volunteered their own “funds of knowledge” aboutengineering skillsets and “habits of mind” but did not connect their personal traits and skills toengineering or engineers. Since the rainwater harvesting project of the citizen scientists wassimilar to the open-ended, project-based learning experiences of many engineering students, weposit that student perceptions of the engineering process are strongly influenced by project-basedlearning, but the impact on their engineering identity is limited.
