We were interested in students’ initial ideation process and how they refinedtheir concepts. Our project was guided by the following research questions: • How do mechanical engineering students approach idea generation and development? • How do the
student interest in pursuing engineering and other STEM undergraduatedegrees.Program DescriptionStudents and science teachers from multiple school districts in Utah were invited to attend aweeklong summer engineering camp at the campus of Utah State University. This engineeringcamp is part of a 7-year GEAR UP project funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Thegrant’s overall goal is to help more than 3,000 middle and high school students improve theiracademic achievement, creating a pipeline of academically prepared students enrolling andexcelling in college. During the summer camp, teacher and student participants developedengineering research hypotheses, tested those hypotheses and presented results in a postersession. Participating
skills were assessed with in-class quizzes and exams. The material was divided into 7units, and each unit was covered in roughly two weeks. A unit quiz was given one week, and a unit exam the nextweek, so that there was a quiz or exam every week. Each of the seven units had 8-11 unit objectives and 15-20homework problems. Homework was collected each week on the day of the quiz or exam.Classes were held in a large auditorium, and DyKnow was used to deliver the basic course notes to students.DyKnow is an interactive classroom management software. In DyKnow, instructors can share content with students(sharing prepared slides and/or writing on tablets during class), and the notes are projected both to the front of theroom as well as onto students
