The normaland shear displacement of the fasteners were recorded along with the corresponding force appliedto the test fixture. The data collected from these experiments showed that the fasteners in tensiondominated loads failed at significantly higher loads as compared to fasteners in shear dominatedloading. IntroductionThe importance of fasteners in mechanical assemblies cannot be understated [5].

thinking skills can be improved by engagingstudents in hands-on engineering and design activities intended to foster knowledge, skillsdevelopment, and problem solving [1]. Engineering activities foster the development ofindependent, reflective, and metacognitive thinking in K-12 students [6]. In particular,engineering thinking involves creativity and innovation. Creativity involves fluency (producing alarge number of ideas), flexibility (producing a variety of ideas that fit in different categories oran ability to see things from different perspectives), and novelty (producing ideas that are uniqueand original) [16, 17]. According to Shah and Vargas-Hernandez [18], “an engineering designmust not only be novel (unusual, unexpected) but it must also

engineering education in the United States remains largelyunexplored.A distinctive feature of knowledge building is that it is idea-centered, a characteristic essential ina knowledge age pedagogy. By focusing on ideas rather than schoolwork and tasks, knowledgebuilding supports the intentional, reflective, and metacognitive engagement required for deeplearning. In a knowledge-building environment the focus of the learning community is oncontinually improving ideas. It begins with a question of understanding that is developed by theparticipants, such as, Why do we need water to survive? Learners are encouraged to generate andpost their ideas about the topic--typically in an asynchronous, online group workspace such asprovided by Knowledge Forum

Basedon these expectations, we developed a workshop theme of “Computer Science is relevant, practical,and fun.” Computer science is relevant for high school students because of the pervasiveness of Page 23.1363.5computing in our world, with computers integrated into everything from cars to communicationdevices to entertainment.

It contendsthat without a deeper understanding of the role of non-dominant ways of speaking in the act ofbecoming and belonging, efforts to diversify engineering will remain elusive. Ultimately, thispaper summarizes these ideas through a conceptual model for engineering learning environmentsthat value and leverage the resources that students bring from their communities.
