Future work will focus on identifying appropriateexamples for teaching energy concepts through CSP, developing and offering the course, andmeasuring the impact of CSP on student learning. One of our major challenges will bedetermining how the examples identified in this research can best be integrated to achieve ourdesired learning outcomes. We anticipate that we will need to overcome our own biases aboutwhat counts as engineering and that by working as a group we can collectively broaden our owndefinitions of

In this project, the labor wasdivided based on skill and ability: one teammate knew how to weld and so could build the devicethey were designing, so the other two (including Sally) conducted research. Sally ended up doingthe majority of the writing as her contribution, and thus the final product was much morecohesive. She also explained that their project received a high grade because of the quality of themachine they built rather than the quality of the report; for that project, she felt that “the writingdefinitely wasn’t emphasized,” and the effect of writing on the overall grade was unclear.Both women were asked to rate their writing skills in connection with their own assessment aswell as a

One possible explanation for the lack of differences betweengroups in the current research may be the efficacy of these programs in alleviating gaps foundin previous research. However, since this research was not designed to test the efficacy of anyor all of these programs, such an explanation is clearly speculative. In any case, the effects ofthese programs might be short term. Once students get further into their college
