In the end, I hoped that letting them continue to build mightleave opportunities for them to discuss and refine their ideas—about both engineering design andscience—and would better support them in seeing themselves as capable in doing engineering.Kristen’s Episode: Coming to consensus on furniture designIntroductionThis case describes instructional tensions I (Kristen, the first author) felt between supporting aclass’s stable framing as an engineering design community and pressing for students to try outparticular engineering design practices.

The development of a student’s engineering identity is oftenassessed through self-efficacy theories6, and many researchers assume that if a student has a highself-efficacy for engineering, then they have developed their identity as an engineer.Unfortunately, identity is much more complex than just self-efficacy6.Researchers have also examined background characteristics such as students

There arechallenges related to broadening participation in engineering that can be considered “blackholes” in the metaphorical space-time continuum that constitutes the “ivory tower.”Experiences of underrepresented scholars in engineering (undergraduates, graduate students,faculty) have been wrought with problems that have affected recruitment, retention, degreecompletion, and transition to careers. In this section, we will briefly discuss the three socialscience theories that can be used to develop an overarching construct for developing STEMcommunity: 1) Psychological Sense of Community, 2) Counter Spaces and Cultural Capital, and3) STEM Identity.4.1 Sense of CommunityThe theory of Psychological Sense of Community has

Constructivist learning theory dictates that learners constructtheir own knowledge and meaning from their experiences through accommodation andassimilation. The goals of this camp, with an eye to constructivist learning theory, are: 1. Build enthusiasm for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) at a critical stage in an educational experience; 2. Target campers from underrepresented groups and lower socioeconomic populations; 3. Motivate campers to take STEM courses in their middle school and secondary education; 4.

It uses collaborative problem-based learning with model-elicitingactivities to transform the discussion section of general chemistry to better retain students whoare engineering majors. It is theorized that the rich context of everyday engineering will helpstudents to see themselves, their interests and those of others in their learning activities.

Pennsylvania.While the benefits to the students are vital, the impact of a co-op program goes beyond thestudents. Industry can gain benefit by obtaining staffing for projects at a substantially reducedrate (and typically without the benefits overhead). Moreover, by hiring interns and co-opstudents, industry can develop a recruiting system that allows them to make better hiringdecisions than can be done via a resume and interview alone.The benefit also extends to the higher education institutions. An organized co-op program canhelp the institution develop relationships with regional and national industry. Thoserelationships can be valuable in many ways.

A 1980 study by the ACSA, Tracking Study of Architecture Graduates, revealed almost identical concerns, as did the 1996 Building Community report as well as others before and after. None of these studies concluded that education is hopelessly flawed, but instead, that there is ample room for improvement on all fronts—if we do, in fact, agree that these are crucial skill sets needed to operate in the design and construction industries.”2Previous studies by one of our authors have found that architecture students value technicalcompetency
