Literature across fields confirms several ways in which criticalconsciousness is defined and operationalized. This section reviews the work of scholars frompsychology (e.g., Diemer and Montero), social work (i.e

This dyad served as a pilot test for the study, and resulted in severalminor modifications to the protocol for the other participants, including having each participanttell a user story for a concept they did not create.User StoryP1 initially told the user story for her own concept, taking on the perspective of a persona theywere provided in class—“Scarlett.” This persona was used to supply many of the contextualdetails included in the user stories, including Scarlett’s occupation, recent move, and love of theoutdoors. The entire user story took around ten minutes to tell, with P2 taking over telling theuser story after P1’s initial attempt in the first several minutes, suggesting: “Maybe this wouldwork better if we
engage with potential customers, analyzing the market's reception and financialfeasibility of their ideas. EM13’s reflection on the significance of seeing the broader context,beyond mere problem-solving, underscores this point: “I think what gave me confidence ininnovation and entrepreneurship is understanding the bigger picture. It’s not just solving aproblem, but also trying to sell it to someone, having someone pay for it. […] Askingquestions like: what's the problem you're solving? Who are you solving it for? Why are thealternatives inferior, and why is now the right time to solve this? What’s the marketopportunity?”Expanding on this, integrating this big-picture perspective early in the learning process iscrucial for understanding the

[23]–[25].The value of fields external to traditional computing are explored through frameworks which canhelp orient one's praxis within computing. This includes frameworks for thinking about activism(i.e. praxis, intersectionality), interactions between technology and society (i.e. sociotechnicalsystems, technological determinism, and technological solutionism, and the New Jim Code [26]),and intervention (i.e. critical participation). By exploring alternative ways of orienting one'spraxis in computing, students are empowered to consider the central question of the module—from where do I want to frame my interventions and what could my conceptual framework(s) tolook like?The second module, titled “Inclusion as Intervention,” explores what it
Education, 2021 Culturally Responsive Engineering Education: Creativity through “Empowered to Change” in the US and “Admonished to Preserve” in Japan Author(s) InformationAbstract:Enhancing creativity is an indispensable goal of many engineering courses. However, withflourishment of global collaboration in various engineering classrooms and best educationalpractices being replicated across cultures, there are not many curriculum interventions thatoriginate from students’ diverse cultural needs. When cultural differences are ignored, studentsmay get culturally biased grades and face confusion and difficulties. For instance, the notion of“disruption” and “breakthrough” in product design innovation is

The survey is designed to measure critical thinking, leadership,communication, and collaboration, and teamwork.Background: The Maker Movement and High School Technology EducationThe ‘maker movement’ is defined by Adweek as the umbrella term for independent inventors,designers, and tinkerers 4, and is viewed by Time magazine as a driver for innovation 5. Thismovement, which started in the 1990’s, embodies a reversion from the theoretical to thepractical, using one’s hands to physically make and build things for the purpose of solving newproblems, solving old problems

In 2011 women’s employment in STEM was 27% (downfrom 34% in 1990) with women most underrepresented in engineering at 13% (this number roseto 15% by 2013).16,27Compared to white men, women faculty are less likely to work at prestigious universities orresearch universities, and more likely to hold assistant-professor, associate professor, and non-tenure track positions.14,30 In fact, in 2011 only 9% of full professors in engineering werewomen.17 In regards to academic commercialization this is especially
design.1 Thereintroduction of modern day senior capstone design in the 1980’s and 1990’s served to bring thepractical application of technical topics back to university level engineering.2,3 It was recentlyidentified that corporations also yearned for students entering industry to have a greaterunderstanding of problem solving, critical thinking, and presentation and communication skills.4Senior capstone design serves as a transition from compartmentalized learning experienced inintroductory level engineering courses to the design and application desired by students enteringindustry. Further, it provides students the opportunity to work on a project where they can bothaddress both technical requirements and learn how to manage projects.5 Prior
school students participated in a week-long summer camp thatfocused on electrical and computer engineering (ECE) concepts and practices. The five-daysummer camp consisted of hands-on activities, tours of different laboratories in ECE disciplines,and a group project that spanned the whole week where students built circuits using theSparkFun Inventor’s kit. During the group activity, the students were organized into eightgroups, and each group was mentored by an undergraduate mentor who facilitated thecollaborative hands-on activities. The middle school students completed validated and reliablepre and post-surveys adapted from the Student Attitudes Toward STEM (S-STEM) Survey andthe Group Work Skills Questionnaire Manual.
