A vital first phase of this RED project then involves the development of thepsychometric scales (i.e., testing of the tests), that will be used. Although researchers have developed a number of survey-based measures of socialpsychological aspects of the learning process, and recent efforts have been made to assess causal 2models of the multiple social psychological influences on educational and career outcomeswithin the area of engineering [cf. 4, 2, 5].

As part of a National ScienceFoundation Advanced Technological Education project, a group of high school teachers wasoffered the opportunity to work in advanced manufacturing labs with engineering faculty. Theseprojects included additive manufacturing (AM) of ceramics, surface characterization of AMmetal parts, and surface alteration. The teachers were tasked with developing lesson plans whichincorporated the advanced manufacturing concepts that they had learned.As part of the assessment of the program, teachers were given pre- and post- research experiencesurveys

Once the AEPs were developed, they were reviewed bythe course instructor to ensure that the scope of the project was reasonable for the course. Eachindustrial partner presented their AEP to students using their own words, without modificationsfrom faculty members, in order to preserve the authenticity. After the industrial partner’spresentation of the problem, students worked in three-person teams to solve the AEP. During atwo-week period, the instructor facilitated a discussion among students and guided them todetermine the knowledge they must gain and information they must gather to solve each AEP.

Informal learning can be understood as asituated activity that takes place in a specific setting, a setting different than a formal classroom,and often involves students becoming a part of a community of practice over time. The situatedperspective also helps shed light on the different identities that students take on as they work ondifferent projects, for instance, as part of collaborative teams. Therefore, although we believethat the debates and frameworks around informal learning are

From the authors’teaching experience, the coping detail in particular, is difficult for students to comprehend from2-D sketches.One way to remedy this problem is to take students to actual construction sites.
