The answer to the first question was a clear yes; students attracted to suchprograms scored significantly higher on the IDI which is

Theactivities were selected to present projects in multiple majors, and help them realize that many ofthe ENGR and CS careers rely on the application of math and critical thinking. During the

From experiential learning projects, students gethands-on experience working on a project and can exercise room for error with minimal risk totheir careers - a chance that might not be afforded in a work environment [4]. Both industry andschools could benefit from partnerships that allow students to exercise their creativity becausestudents may raise questions that might otherwise be missed by industry representatives andfaculty. Furthermore, the industry might benefit as there may be minimal capital investmentswhen students carry out a project [3], given that is properly scoped and managed.Another way for students to interact with experts is to

Thisstudy takes an additional step to differentiate between allies and advocates, tying the differenceto programmatic levels and participation: Advocates are active and effective proponents of gender diversity and equity, specifically in terms of increasing the number of female faculty, encouraging the hiring and promotion of female faculty in administrative positions, and ensuring the fair and equitable treatment of women within partner institutions. They are committed to increasing their understanding of gender bias and its impact on the academic careers of women. Allies are men
challenge for sociotechnical engineering instruction is the evaluation of itseffects. Some of the difficulty results from the breadth of educators’ goals. Most of these effortsdo not define specific desired outcomes beyond increasing students’ ability to understand “thetechnical” and “the social” as deeply connected, and to appreciate that sociotechnical thinking isan important part of engineering work. That is, sociotechnical engineering programs andinterventions rarely prescribe desired career paths or other, more easily quantifiable goals fortheir students. Attempts to measure the success of sociotechnical thinking contextualizationtherefore require ascertaining how students’ thoughts about their work and identities haveshifted, if at all

Dr. Brunhaver recently joined Arizona State after completing her M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University.

Dr. Brunhaver’s research examines the career decision-making and professional identity formation of engineering students, alumni, and practicing
students’identity development and subsequent interest in STEM courses and careers (Morgan et al.,2016). Yet elementary teachers often have little preparation or background to teach engineeringand need support to be able to integrate engineering design into elementary science classroomsettings. Thus, research must examine the ways that elementary teachers verbally supportengineering practices. This paper explores how elementary teachers verbally support students’engagement in engineering practices in an NGSS-aligned unit. In particular, this paper comparesthe same teachers implementing the same curriculum across two class sections with differentstudent populations. By exploring teacher talk across two different student contexts, we aim tohelp the field

withoutwell-defined requirements might struggle meeting such course expectations. While both project-styles potentially result in good projects, equitably assessing both within the same course canprove quite challenging.While most students tend to respond favorably to their design experiences, it should berecognized that this major design experience does, in fact, introduce a certain level of stressbeyond that typically associated with other courses. The size and complexity of projects pursuedin most senior design programs are often the most complex project students have experienced atthis point in their academic careers. Additionally, many students are stressed when required toformally communicate [5], yet such communication is a common component to

As with most of the segregation schemes of the era, Princess Annewas poorly funded, never fully staffed with qualified personnel, and never had proper investmentin infrastructure. Parallel to the public education enterprise, the inequality of the system waspropagated by racist and intransigent stakeholders and justified through various legal loopholesand racist cultural assumptions.One particular aspect of inequality between the two systems was access to professional trainingin specific career paths. In the 1930s, this was brought to the fore by a legal challenge to theUMD law school in Baltimore. The result of this legal challenge was a new separate-but-(more)-equal law school at
another career; Interest is the enjoyment (or lack of) experienced in doingengineering activities; and Utility is the perceived usefulness (or lack of) of becoming anengineer and/or earning an engineering degree (Matusovich et al., 2010). The authors conductedlongitudinal semi-structured interviews of 11 participants (5 men and 6 women) during their fouryears of undergraduate engineering education. They found that all four Eccles’ value categoriesare present; that attainment value plays a prominent role, but not an exclusive role, inparticipant’s choice to earn an engineering degree; and that the four categories are not mutuallyexclusive. In summary, the researchers found that participants can be categorized with high orlow engineering-related

’ race, gender,and major on their notecards, we would like to ask for their year in school. This would allow usto explore how students openness to diversity and cultural change efforts fluctuate from the timestudents begin their college career through graduation. For the group responses, we did not askstudents to record the gender, race, or major make-up of their small group. Going forward, wewould like to capture this information in order to see how the diversity of the small groupsimpacts the discussion. This would enable us to explore questions such as: Are white malesmore receptive to the case study when they are in a group with multiple women or people ofcolor? How do the experiences of women and people of color change when they are the

This correlation may suggestthat there could be a smooth transfer of interest and a higher likelihood for students involved inmaking to self-identify as engineers, thereby building their tenacity in continuing to study theSTEM fields in their future educational and career endeavors.3. MethodsWe conducted a multisite case study which explored two underrepresented populations ofstudents and their engagement with 3D printing, a common digital fabrication tool that is widelypopular with the maker movement. We provided students at each site with access to 3D
