-Flores Elizabeth Suazo-Flores is a post-doctoral research associate in the Department of Biological Sciences at Purdue University. Dr. Suazo’s central work is on exploring learners’ integration of different types of knowledge when working on tasks. Following Dewey’s (1938) theory of experience and Schwab’s (1969, 1983) conceptualization of curriculum, Dr. Suazo explored the concept of personal practical knowledge (Elbaz, 1981) with an eighth grade mathematics teacher. This construct encapsulates different ways of knowing that teachers refer to when interacting with their students. She has also explored K-12 learn- ers’ experiences working on STEM units and tasks involving real-world contexts. For example, as part

The purpose was to provide the traditional lecture-based constructioncontents along with supplementary instructions in a project-based learning environment. Sixmodules were proposed as a curriculum delivery guideline including: single span bridge,residential building, light commercial, heavy commercial, highway, and segmental bridge. Thesingle span bridge was the first module used for prototype development providing an opportunityto design, analyze, implement, and test for effectiveness. This paper describes the design stepsand results of this three-year research project. VICE-Bridge required participants to sequentiallyorder the construction activities and then select the

Engineering knowledge has many sequential dependencies. Therefore, an ill-considered change early in a curriculum can have unexpected, dire consequences for laterlearning. Faculty expertise may also be a drag. Whether a desirable new topic must be learnedby existing faculty or else new faculty hired, progress must wait for these to be completed.2.

Nevertheless, students’skills would be further developed if writing were included throughout the undergraduateengineering curriculum. But how can electrical engineering faculty do this? Research reportedin the literature describes constructivist and knowledge transformation frameworks of howwriting helps build knowledge in the sciences. Building on these theories, successful writingexperiences in engineering are “writing to communicate” rather than “writing to learn”.
