Some schools provide service learning credit for coursesin robotics [4] in their curriculum. When mentoring middle/high school children, it is essentialto communicate the fundamental concepts in simple, easy to understand and for-fun ways.Studies indicate that a practice of journal writing about the mentoring activity [5] and usingreflection leads to improved mentoring. This can improve among mentors the ability tocommunicate complex engineering topics to lay and

It has also been shown that retention of URM and women is increasedthrough project-based learning or experiential learning pedagogies and techniques[3]-[10].Moreover, URM students often have a limited perspective of their contributions to improvingtechnology due to social issues such as a lack of exposure to engineering and science professionsand having personal role models in their local community who are scientists or engineers.Furthermore, when URM students enter STEM fields, many fail to see the connection betweentheir studies and real-world problems because gateway courses in current curricula fail to makethat connection explicit [10], [11

Once studentsenter their collegiate course of study, academia, industry, and the students themselves must seekout and integrate communication study and practice into their engineering training [2]. Althougheffective communication is critical to the practice of civil engineering, it has been identified as askill missing from engineering curricula in general [3].

What seemed to be coming up in this interview was a daily experience of beingconstructed as incapable, in programming (for Isaac) and/or in engineering. We call this thecultural construction of ability, of being “not cut out for” the discipline. The disability at play inthis educational fact is not one that often gets labeled or spoken out loud in those terms, thoughneither is it only living inside one student’s head.
