The findings illuminate students’ perceptionsof their engineering design course and curriculum. We conclude by discussing the pedagogicaldecisions the teaching team is making as a result of listening to our students’ voices.IntroductionAccording to a 2012 report from the President’s Council of Advisors on Science andTechnology, the U.S. needs approximately one million additional science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) college graduates in order to

Assessing informally their level of interest and engagement, all 15 girls were100% engaged in every activity and enjoyed their time. Students were asked questions such as: 1. Do you find a connection between what you learn in school and the real engineering world? What specific connection did you find in doing this activity? (both activities) 2.
