Since joining the Olin College faculty she has also dived into the field of engineering education with an emphasis on integration of arts, humanities, and STEM. Her love of learning was first fostered by an unusual elementary school education that was deeply inter- disciplinary with a substantial arts curriculum. After graduating from Harvard University with a B.A. in Dramatic Literature, she worked professionally in theater and wrote and recorded two musical albums. She then returned to school to study engineering, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rutgers Uni- versity in 2011. While completing her degree at Rutgers, she wrote

An alternative is to increase exposure to programming and electrical contentin traditionally mechanical engineering courses, such as through the incorporation ofmicroprocessors across the curriculum.This work investigates the incorporation of microprocessors (specifically Arduinos) into theMechanical Engineering curriculum. The goals of this effort are to increase students’ familiaritylevel with microprocessor capabilities, to increase exposure to mechatronic systems, to allow forhigher fidelity prototypes in class projects, and to provide an accessible and inexpensive way forstudents to explore applications of what they learn in

. Students participate in labs through which they gain hands-on experience inmilling, turning, forming, welding, and sand casting, among other manufacturing processes. Additionally,through several iterations of an individual project, each student builds a functional, high-fidelity, well-finished prototype of their own design. Drawing from Dewey alongside Lave and Wenger’s theories oflearning through experience and participation in communities of practice, we observe how students engagetheir mind, hands, and heart in a makerspace environment and the subsequent changes that they experience.We hypothesize that greater integration of students’ mind, hands, and heart is associated with increasedengineering task self-efficacy, innovation self-efficacy
