The continued success of the organization requires students to overcomethe difficulty of year-to-year continuity, develop skills to undertake complex problems, and workin an unfamiliar culture to implement projects. To address these challenges, students engagefaculty advisors, professionals (both in the US and Kenya), their peers, and Kenyan beneficiariesto generate solutions collectively. While in the United

It is reasonable that for some levels to increase, others must decrease. Sinceproblems designed by students on the DYOP were of similar complexity as those they completedon quizzes, a decrease in percent coverage at the Understand and Apply levels indicates lessemphasis placed on engagement at these levels during reflection rather than less engagement atthem. Indeed, it would be difficult for students to engage at the Analyze level without first havingengaged fully in the Understand and Apply levels.

This led me to enroll in a graduate seminar, EngineeringStudies, which provided me with a much deeper introduction to STS-inflected studies ofengineering, including engineering education.

One reason is that aschool and/or family obligation requires them to work a significant number of hours each week.It is difficult to attend football games or join a sorority when you are working 20-40 hours aweek off-campus.
