. As a team we planned a three day game design workshop for middle school students that: ● fosters interest in computer science careers by exposing students to basic programming concepts; ● encourages the development of ethical decision-making capacities by designing games that address contemporary challenges in adolescents’ lives; and ● harnesses the motivational affordances of games to encourage students to engage in interest driven learning.Game Jam workshops are potentially well suited to achieving the goals we note above because of their open-ended nature [3]. Game jams build on the affordances of games, offering youth a playful and agenticperspective on design and problem solving, while exposing them to basic

In result, aCSCL-session planned on a web-conferencing platform can unintentionally turn into a session ona spectrum from videoconferencing (all participants use their webcam and microphone) overaudioconferencing (participants refusing webcam usage) to synchronous text-chat (webcam- andmicrophone-refusal). In worst case this can cause misleading conclusions about the didacticmatch between tool and task with negative effect on teaching and learning.

presented a reflexive model of an identity-based approach toengineering leadership instruction. Moreover, the model may be applied in a wide variety ofengineering classes, given the central role that leadership plays in training for the profession.That said, in a lower-division setting, the lower-division lesson plan may provide an introductionand contextualization of leadership in the engineering profession. Therefore, it might be mostappropriate for an engineering survey course, as students are introduced to various aspects of theengineering profession.The upper-division lesson plan can provide richer insight into how engineering leadership ispracticed, as well as practical scaffolding for students’ pursuing their own professionaldevelopment

participants already know their education and career intentions before theyparticipate in the program. In that case, the impact of the program on those intentions is usually amatter of reinforcing, rather than redirecting, the paths that students are already on. Results fromthe comprehensive survey appear to confirm this. 89% of WIL participants agreed or stronglyagreed that, after the WIL program, they plan to work in their field of study – a small increasefrom the 85% who agreed or strongly agreed prior to the program. The proportion who “stronglyagreed” rose from 49 to 56%. Among “high-intensity” WIL participants, 88% agreed or stronglyagreed – which marked an increase of five percentage points from the 83% who agreed orstrongly agreed prior to the

It is a challengefor the new generation, however, it is also our challenge to proactively embrace the technologyand integrate it in our plans for preparing our future engineers.
