For pedagogical content, these are usually slightlyraised graphics on a paper medium for practicality and portability ([2], [3]). Translating visualcontent into a tactile graphic requires reducing the content into just the most important features,and often requires sighted subject matter expertise ([4]–[6]). Other work has explored usinglarger, higher fidelity three-dimensional models ([7], [8]). Additionally, few tools exist for BLVpeople to create their own visual content, and most tactile graphic systems require a sightedperson’s assistance ([9]–[11]). These methods also have

An NSF-funded project set out to explore this idea by partnering undergraduateengineering students enrolled in a 300-level electromechanical systems course with preserviceteachers enrolled in a 400-level educational technology course to plan and deliver roboticslessons to fifth graders at a local school. Working in small teams, students designed, built, andcoded bio-inspired robots. The collaborative activities included: (1) training with HummingbirdBit hardware (Birdbrain Technologies, Pittsburgh, PA) (e.g. sensors, servo motors) and codingplatform, (2) preparing robotics lessons for fifth

Putting this intoperspective, if 100 students enrolled in an engineering program, about 55.9% (~56 students) willcomplete the degree within six years. Of those ~56 students, 65% (~36 graduates) will enter theengineering workforce.

Students' Performance and Beliefs about MathematicsInquiry-oriented (IO) instruction is one of many inductive teaching approaches that relies heavilyon active student learning. However, there are key features that distinguish IO instruction fromactive learning in other classrooms. Traditionally, if students actively participate in a universitymathematics class, it is after an instructor has presented key concepts and procedures. That is,their engagement is that of practice. In an IO classroom, however, students are expected toreinvent mathematics in their quest to solve real-world problems [1]. Therefore, the applicationsprecede and motivate, rather than follow, the theory.In an IO course, students are presented with novel problems; they are not

In addition, workers in STEM earn on average 26% more than those who are notemployed in STEM fields [2]. Despite the large benefits of a STEM career, growth of STEMemployment has plateaued, and many individuals leave those fields after joining [3]. In addition,there is a significant gap between men and women working in STEM-related fields, with menoutpacing women. One potential factor in this gap can be attributed to self-efficacy.A student’s self-efficacy refers to a “Judgement about one’s ability to organize and execute thecourses of action necessary to attain a specific goal” [4, p. 1

to a more qualitative understanding of the experience of an engineering classroom. Theshift towards qualitative research has been accomplished through incorporating aspects ofsociology, anthropology, and ethnography into the research process [1]. This drive toward moreholistic understanding motivated our research team to try and understand the roleproblem-solving mindsets play in the work of engineering and education faculty. Awareness ofmultiple possible mindsets when approaching problems could help educators be more effective inthe classroom. Further, if educators displayed a noticeable preference for a particular mindsetwhen approaching issues in the classroom, helping them to understand this tendency could helpraise awareness of
