on projects and activities inmakerspaces.Growth MindsetGrowth mindset has been defined as, the extent to which learners keep an open mind to considertheir ability to learn or perform [27], [28]. People who consider their current limitations predictstheir limitations in the future (e.g., “I am bad at math”), hold a fixed mindset. In contrast, peoplewho consider their current limitations can be overcome with effort or opportunity, hold a growthmindset. We posit that work in makerspaces increases the potential for students to develop agrowth mindset due to the ability to experiment with solutions and engagement in multipleattempts with no real single and correct solution. In addition, the ability to modify and createnew prototypes is relatively

Therefore, work is being done to design assessment that allows for student freedomwith strategies like project-based learning and learning portfolios [5]. These forms of assessmentderive from work on open-ended learning environments and self-regulated learning. Open-endedlearning is a pedagogical approach that harnesses students’ intrinsic motivation to learn [6], andself-regulated learning is when students make goals and evaluate their learning in order topractice metacognition [7]. Many researchers have found benefits when implementing moreopportunities for student-directed learning both in higher education [8–11] and the K-12system [12]. Giving students ownership

need to learn embeddeddevelopment comes up repeatedly in the context of our capstone senior design experience, and hasresulted in the individual instruction of many students at our institution, over many years, often in theform of guided tutorials. While effective enough to support the capstone course, this approach does notexpose every student that wants to acquire this skill set with the opportunity to do so; such instruction islimited to those students that need to learn the skills to support a project. It also lacks the efficiency of aclassroom approach.Microcontroller skills can be acquired today without formal instruction.

Engineers can be important mediators or gatekeepers for the input of diversestakeholders on the technology development (e.g. machine learning bias). Therefore, our workingvision for engineering ethics education is two-fold: (1) to empower students as moral agents whoeffectively negotiate for social and ethical responsibility in the technology

However, many in the maritime community feelthat there are certain applications, such as non-electric vessels, that will require a trained crewonboard [3].This uncertainty means that academic institutions are hesitant to fund new advanced trainingprograms until they are certain what they should look like.

Using cognitive ethnography, we analyzed research activities in engineeringresearch laboratories, and SDP teams’ discussions about ethics issues, with or without thepresence of ethics experts. We found that student teams demonstrated multi-layeredunderstanding of engineering ethics: explicit and implicit. Those two types of understandingmanifested themselves differently across SDP teams. At the explicit level, SDP teams understoodtheir technical responsibility and practical work ethics, but at the same time rarely showedappreciation for

Next, studentsdiscussed their individual responses with team members to arrive at a set of consensus scores,with written justifications, for all 14 criteria.
