Partner interviews, we heard them talk about their work in ways that suggest thatboth scientific and engineering habits of mind, like observing, trying out different plans todetermine which is best, weighing different tradeoffs while developing a prototype, all as part oftheir making processes. These weren’t simply mindless activities, or things that people weredoing in the same way at all times; they were tinkering, experimenting, and working out the bestmethods to develop the best products possible given the materials they had on hand.Discussion: (M)aking vs (m)akingIn this paper, we have argued that while the Making has great potential to provide pathways toscience and engineering careers for many audiences, the ways in which the Maker
, 95% 107, 88% Yes No Yes No Figure 5: Student Self-Assessment of Project UnderstandingThe response to the second and third questions on the exit survey assessed student interest andconfidence in their ability to major in science or engineering. The percentage of students whoresponded that they plan to study science or engineering, if they go to college, was highest in theMakerspace class. This is shown in Figure 6, and responses for the other courses ranged from59% – 93%. However, the next question on the survey (“did summer change their mind”)impacts the interpretation of those responses and is shown in Figure 7. A

internationalengineering education program. I had international PBL (project-based leaning) courses withIndian students twice times. Those PBL aims to learn as follows: (1) Intercultural anddiversity mind, (2) Project Management, (3) Design Thinking, (4) Engineering knowledgeand skills. To make suggestion for a new instructional method, I analyzed the daily reportsand final reports whom Japanese participants of two courses write as Design Based Research(DBR). DBR is the one of the research method for learning. According to BARAB andSQUIR (2004)[1], Design Based Research is “a series of approaches, with the intent ofproducing new theories, artifacts, and practices that account for and potentially impactlearning and teaching in naturalistic settings”.

In addition to the potential for improved student outcomes withinductive learning, the real world nature of PBL modules can lend itself for engineering design experiencesthat may also include broader Entrepreneurial Minded Learning (EML). The goal of this project was to introduce a PBL module with a real world scenario into“Biomechanics” courses that cover the theory and methods for solving dynamics problems. In addition tolearning the related angular kinematics concepts, this project required students
