this paper builds onprior evidence supporting the use of funds of knowledge and engineering design, as a STEMintegrator, as well as empirical research on the structure, content, and outcomes of effectiveprofessional learning to create transformative educational experiences for teachers, andultimately their students [7-10].The APRENDE ProjectThe Asset-based Practices in Engineering Design (APRENDE) project focuses on both middleschool students and their teachers. It offers the opportunity to have an early impact on students’engineering interest while also providing teachers with a broader perspective of how to developstudents’ engineering habits of mind and dispositions using funds of knowledge. The goal of thisthree-year project is (1) to

engineering student from Maine attending OlinCollege and will be graduating in May of 2020. I chose Olin for the community, but also for theirpassionate mantra, “Engineering starts with people and ends with people.” This mantra painted anew picture of engineering for me as I had previously believed engineering was about usingmath to make cool things. In fact, I originally wanted to be an engineer to continue my passionfor robotics that I had developed over 9 years on a robotics team. But, this mantra created analmost invisible itch in the back of my mind that has slowly grown into the driving factor of mebecoming an engineer.My first real experience with people in engineering was my second semester at Olin in a classcalled Engineering for Humanity

research method in mind was through interviewing sustainable design practitioners about their experiences. This method would not only allow rich data to be collected from a number of different perspectives but this method would also not loose the context in which it is situated. This was because the participants were interviewed about their experiences, in context, with sustainable design rather than what they thought it was in an abstract way. 4. The research was then conducted and analyzed. Twenty-two sustainable design practitioners were identified from a range of disciplines but all working on engineering projects. These participants were interviewed one-on-on with the interview later transcribed and

the teaching methods, which were relativelyadvanced a decade ago, are no longer sufficient to educate graduates who would be competitiveenough on the job market after graduation. Therefore a new significant step in education of real-time software engineers is proposed in this paper: introducing in the classroom environmentsuch projects that would reflect current situation in professional software development. Two platforms used in real-time embedded data acquisition and control systems have beenintroduced in senior design project courses: VxWorks and Windows CE for respective singleboard computers. Both projects were developed with a typical waterfall process model in mind,with four phases of development, including requirements

This “enlargement” was achieved by the capacity to perceive inter-relationshipsbetween the areas that comprise “universal knowledge” as it is currently understood. Itfollows that consideration of the “product” (technological literacy) without consideration ofthe “process” (engineering literacy) is not a liberal education.”5 Using the model he hadpresented in the earlier paper (exhibit 3) he argued that the solution to engineering problems(the technology) required not only knowledge of engineering science and the mechanics ofmanufacturing but an understanding of the ways of thinking in such areas
