It requires anunderstanding of the students’ preference and responses on various learning topics to bridge thegap between the college and K-12 classroom. A graduate student with an interdisciplinarytraineeship on global sustainability served as the primary instructor for the course, with the supportof the host teacher. The schedule for the visiting instructor is: (1) in week 1-2, the instructorobserves the class and accepts training on K-12 education; (2) during week 3-6, the instructorassists the host teacher during the course and develop a lesson plan; (3) in week 7-9, the instructorteaches the designed module and collects reflections

The features identified in the summaries from the semesters of the interventionwere used to review the summaries from the previous year(s). Once the structural features ofthe summaries were identified, one of the second authors read the summaries looking for thesame structural elements to confirm the structural patterns. Then the board comments/scores were also collected for the semesters used to identifyany patterns of improvement. This strategy did not work out as planned due to a few anomaliesinvolved in the semesters included in the study. There was no clear evidence of improvementbetween the semesters studied.

Giving students hands-on experience on structuring thesame design using basic building blocks and applying more advanced tools that they will see inindustry was the main objective.

This ismotivated by the idea that if students have less to write, they will have more time to think abouttheir writing, as well as to reflect and revise, which is a critical component of improvingcomposition as well as developing self-criticism skills7. Since most engineering students plan towork in industry, real-world context is useful for giving them an idea of the types of writing theymay encounter in their future career.ImplementationTo satisfy the proposed objectives, five unique assignments were designed for the course whichinvolves the completion of five multi-week laboratory projects.

The original plan was to use the EOS laser sintering 3-D printer to manufacture the 54steel bar. However, due to the limitations of the machinery we decided to 3-D print the bar usingplastic. The testing of the projectile was one part of the project that we didn’t get to because ofthe limitations on the project. A wind tunnel test for the projectile would be needed in the futureto ensure the calculations and simulations are correct. Another part of the testing would have beenon the actual launching of the projectile. This also was not possible for our group

needs to“plan and carry out fair tests,” which involves identifying failure points and difficulties, thenidentifying and gathering relevant data [9]. Designers are intentional and can explain the designrationale with each suggested iteration. Experienced designers run quick, valid tests, conductfocused diagnostic troubleshooting, and actively look for potential faults. These help them moveefficiently through progressively better ideas and prototypes. This stands in contrast to naivedesigners who tend to run random and confounded experiments, brush aside unanticipatedresults, and often remain intent on original ideas [8], [10]. Though novice engineers may beengaging in iteration, they may not be able to explain their choices and their practices

That is: scale-up is(usually) possible but requires careful planning and “watching the dials and turning the knobs”on the first series of runs. Our first class sequence is a bench design, our second class sequenceis a small pilot and third year will be a full pilot plant with subsequent years scaling to fullproduction.

].Other research efforts show that students also have a lack of confidence, interest and sense ofbelonging [4, 9, 10] in engineering programs. There is evidence that they still struggle withcareer decisions into their fourth year [5]. To have a positive impact on student motivation andproblem-solving skills, these concerns must also be addressed. The sense of belonging, thefeeling of being technically competent and socially comfortable, the ability of students to asktheir own questions, plan their research, analyze their own findings and communicate their ownknowledge enable a more effective and lasting learning [5, 11].This is why active learning methods can increase student retention rates and engagement inengineering programs [12-14].
