understanding of these concepts after learning the developed M3E module. Thus, trainingstudents to establish such a mental model using solid mechanics concepts is a reasonable approach,which can even contribute to students’ engineering career development through their lives. Viaappropriate analysis, fundamental concepts in mechanics can be completely separate in students’mind before they have a firm understanding of their meaning, as shown in Figure 6. The M3Eapproach is expected to help students connect these abstract concepts and develop their mentalmodel to represent a network of such complex concepts. A well-developed concept map,externalization of the mental representation, will show the fundamental understanding of theseconcepts. Once students

That is, family roles (e.g., daughter, wife, sister) were central totheir identity, even if the women did not say that gender, per se, was salient.Our initial results offer insights into the unique experiences of women who served in the militaryand who then chose to advance their careers and education in engineering.

The only task-specific self-concept that did not have a significant difference in either the within-subjects andbetween-groups comparisons was motivation; this was seen in both the overall data(Fmotivation(3,219) = 1.7, p = 0.2) and the within-subjects data (t(11) = 0.6, p = 0.5). Thisdemonstrates that freshmen, sophomore, juniors, and seniors experience similar motivationlevels when it comes to engineering design. This may be due to the fact that engineers begintheir undergraduate career with a high level of motivation, and there is not much room forimprovement in that area. The within subject pairwise results also showed the same trends fromfreshman to senior with high statistical significance for self-efficacy, expectancy

Through the EAGER, we engaged in a 3-year pilot research study onhow the Making as Micro-Manufacture M2 model may create a situated learning space. In the M2model, students can develop self-constructed educational experiences through their directengagement in Making for everyday, real world use. Practically, we applied the M2 model in theform of a practice-based learning career and technology education (CTE) course focused oncombining Making, Engineering, and elementary science curriculum implementation.For our study, we pursued the following two
