It should be noted that as the name implies, a lookup table is atable that contains a set of all possible (full range) input intensity values arranged in increasingorder R = { r0=0, r1=1 r2=2 …, rk=k …, rL-1=L-1}, and a corresponding set of output (mapped,reassigned) intensity values S = {s0, s1, s2, …, sk, …, sL-1} into which the input intensity valuesare correspondingly

concept has grown since the late 1950’s. Krupczak andBlake (Blake & Krupczak Jr., 2014) have charted development of the concept, lookingparticularly at the intersection of technological literacy with engineering literacy. It shouldbe noted that the term “technological literacy” is more commonly used in the United Statesthan other nations. A sense of how technological literacy has become more prevalent inconversations on education can be seen by looking at the word frequency of the term usingthe Ngram viewing tool (Google, 2010). While this tool has significant biases and limitations(Pechenick, Danforth, & Dodds, 2015) the relatively high representation of scientific andtechnical literature in the corpus and the fact that “technological

Two examples of experientiallearning opportunities are internships and cooperative learning (co-op) programs. Whileinternships and co-op programs are encouraged in engineering education settings, there are fewestablished opportunities of such opportunities at university makerspaces.

STEMstudents, to the right of Figure 1, have an ‘I’ shaped ability profile (i.e. M > S > V), incontrast to the ‘V’ shaped profile (i.e. M ≥ V > S) of the HSS students. Clearly, the ‘I’shaped profile, developed by high school, was a predictor of a STEM education path anddistance travelled on this path. Given that this predictor contains not just math ability butspatial ability also, STEM educators have reason to treat spatial ability in the same way asmath ability: assess incoming students for the ability and provide resources to address anyshortcomings in it. While it is now common to find math learning support centers co-existingbeside engineering schools

Further, many participants stated that eventhough they did not receive any resources for teaching engineering, they were satisfied with thisbecause they did not teach engineering anyway. This reveals that teachers do not understand thescience standards they are required to teach as part of OAS-S, which require them to beengineering teachers.

resulting in a call to view the concept of belonging as complex,multi-faceted, and impacted by extra-institutional factors [6]. Recent research on sense of belonging among graduate students has begun to consider demographicattributes and characteristics of the academic environment [7-10]. Gardner et al.’s [8] exploration ofdoctoral students’ sense of belonging across different disciplines indicates that engineering doctoralstudents reported a relatively lower sense of belonging within their academic department compared tostudents in other disciplines. Recent work by O’Meara et al. [11] echo this claim, reporting that fewerfacilitators of sense of belonging exist within STEM doctoral program environments than in non-STEMprograms. These
