Interviews were thentranscribed and analyzed using definitions from Wenger’s CoP model to clarify and verify howthe Makerspace impacted the cultivation of a makers CoP on campus. We looked for evidence ofidea units that emphasized domain, community and practice.ResultsParticipants shared a common interest in “making”, tinkering, and realizing their designs. Therewere five categories of reasons for participation in the Makerspace: accessibility to resources,professional development, self-efficacy, Networking, social interaction and engagement, andlearning opportunities.Making use of Wegner’s

used at a much higher rate since the late 1990’s. [24]Although the rubric has been viewed solely as an assessment tool for quite some time, recentstudies have suggested that it can also be used as a learning instrument. Arter and McTighesuggest that in collaboration with a formative assessment of student’s current un-finished work,the rubric can highlight areas that students are excelling in, as well as show opportunities wherethey can improve. [25] Jonsson and Svingby also note that a great benefit to using a rubric is thatit can be incredibly consistent in regards to the use of judgment when assessing specific studenttraits in class.

learning of classroom concepts. This study did not control the tutorial instructionthat students received, so different tutorial instructors could have affected the exchange ofknowledge between the classroom and laboratory. However, the techniques used in this studycould be used to prompt reflection on in-class concepts that appear in a lab. This could be a greatopportunity to improve student learning.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the Claremont Center for Teaching and Learning.REFERENCES[1] L. B. Buck, S. L. Bretz, and M. H.

Applications were considered complete if they included an application form,personal statement, unofficial transcript(s), and at least one letter of recommendation.Applicant review occurred in two phases: initial screening and PI/mentor review. During theinitial screening, personal statements and recommendation letters were read by the screeningcommittee and scored via a shared rubric. The screening committee was comprised of the REUProgram Director and graduate students and postdoctoral researchers within ReNUWIt. Effortswere made to ensure that each application was read by the REU Program Director and at leastone other individual on the committee. At the end of the initial screening, each application wasbinned as “Yes,” “Maybe,” or “No.”Following the

In week 2,there is a dip in motivation. Most students again find teamwork and discussion helpful. Somecomment heated discussion within their team and difficulty reaching consensus. During week 3,there is an increase in motivation. Many say they enjoy the hands-on rapid prototyping activity.Week 4’s planning activity such as coming up with a materials list gets some students excited.After week 5’s proposal presentation, many students comment that they find sharing their ideasand seeing other students’ ideas interesting.

Because these spaces often foster or highlight students who are already comfortablein engineering environments, inclusion of new or underrepresented users has been encouraged bycreative workshops and social events [1].MethodsThe academic makerspace described in this paper was opened in fall of 2016 at the New YorkUniversity Tandon School of Engineering.

) Structure; and 7) Peer review [24].Active learning exercisesALEx or active learning activities (ALA) is an instructional method where pre-plannedactivities in class make the students put to use the content that they have just been taught. Manydifferent ALA and ALEx exist [23], [25], which are either informal or graded. The plainestversion of ALEx is regular multiple choice questions, which the students have to solve duringlectures but ALEx also comes as small written exercises, sketch drawings, group workactivities or the like. In class, the instructor presents the theory or case(s) and instruct thestudents how to answer the upcoming ALEx.

described in this paper, we devised special courseassignments: we gave a group problem to the students in a given course on the first day of classand organized students in groups of three or four, depending on the size of the class. Groupingsof students were alphabetical, based on the first letter of their last names. The student at the topof each grouping was designated the convener and leader of the group. Students were asked tomeet weekly and work collaboratively to solve the assigned problem(s) as a group and to submitone report of their work as a group on the last day of class, which is about one week before theday of the final exam. This report was worth 10% of the course grade. Students were encouragedto collaborate on other assignments, as

It is a five-point Likert-scale instrument that wasdeveloped to capture students’ attitudes toward science, math, engineering/technology, and21st century skills [18]. In the present study, the survey questions that measure students’attitudes toward science, math, and engineering/ technology concepts were utilized.Students’ responses to those questions were analyzed.ResultsAt the completion of the summer camp, evaluative feedback was collected from theparents regarding their knowledge and understanding related to building automation,Internet of Things, the engineering design process, and engineering careers
created a new position to keepthe program going long-term. The current E2 director has other job duties, but the camp and thepeer mentor program make up 50% of her responsibilities (25% for each program). Fortunately,the current staff member spent two years assisting the previous camp director with this program,and experienced students also have assisted in easing the transition between staff. It is alsoimperative to partner with other campus programs, units, and resources to ensure that theprogram is successful. Some changes made by campus residential life in 2018 possibly had anegative impact on the camp’s enrollment and participation due to competing activities.Communication for planning 2019’s camp began immediately after the 2018 program to
