This study is in the preliminarystages of developing such a tool.A university makerspace is where students may create personal projects, prototype ideas, orwork on class assigned projects by utilizing resources such as 3D printers, laser etchers, CNCmachines, sewing machines, embroiderers, vinyl heat-press, and other tools/crafting machinery.While these kinds of machines are not inherently gender/racially biased, the use of facilitiesnationally is not equally demographically balanced and supports data depicting a user dominanceof “affluent males” [5]. One hypothesis is that the gender imbalance could be due to ambientidentity cues that do not accurately portray a fully representative population [4]. With theunveiling of a new

In addition, schools that havestrong research faculty can enable an additional component where students and curriculumare informed by research methodologies as well as advancements in science andengineering, thus creating a mind set for innovation and critical inquiry.In this paper we present two cases of comprehensive summer programs where studentsworked in teams on research-oriented projects.

’ Design Process Concept MapsIntroductionIn our ongoing exploration of this EAGER EEC NSF-funded project, we share results of thedesign concept maps part of our research project. This paper is intended to share formativedevelopment of a coding scheme to assess and evaluate drawings by undergraduate engineeringstudents of their engineering design process. There is a spectrum of student responses anddeveloping a taxonomy, or categorization, is helpful to better understand where students beginand end from a design project learning experience. This can then inform and illustrate the waysin which students balance breadth and depth and learn and apply their engineering know how.Design may appear throughout a curriculum or be substantiated as a capstone

As such, practices have been successfully established in engineering economicscourses. One such course is the University of Pennsylvania’s ESE 400/540 – EngineeringEconomics course. In conjunction with the aforementioned studies and ABET requirements, ESE400/540 mandates that the expected outcome is to “be able to work effectively in teams of 4 or 5to perform case study analyses and to present findings in written reports and verbalpresentations” [ABET Program Outcome D].

In this paper, we try to explore thepossibility of developing a short-time workshop with an interesting engineering project whichcan motivate middle or high school female students to learn engineering, and eventually pursuecareers in engineering. For the workshop, we need to consider two factors to develop it: (1) thetime period allowed for the students to complete the project and (2) the expense of the projectproduct.

They correlate the results to designing experiments and theirquality. Later, they perform experiments using a factorial design of experiments chart. Then, theoutput data from the experiments are analyzed.

Other facultyhave difficulty developing an assignment that will require students to learn and use informationliteracy skills. Having had success with a freshman orientation class, a librarian and instructionaldesigner collaborated to transform that assignment into an online module. The module wascreated in Blackboard and was designed to be generic enough so that it can easily be modifiedfor any course. The assignment asks students to work in teams on a design project. The specificdesign project can be determined by the course instructor, making the module customizable
