All four majors at this institution require students totake a first-year projects course; across the many sections of the course, some of these projectsmay be service-learning (S-L), others are community contextualized, and some are purelytechnical exercises (like a Rube Goldberg machine).26 Additional introductory courses to themajor required in the first semester for architectural, civil, and environmental engineeringstudents contain an emphasis

These questions may be especially important inschools where students do not frequently have opportunities to engage with their peers in thekind of collaborative decision-making required by engineering design.    To begin to answer these important questions, we are conducting a multi-year design-basedresearch project investigating engineering language and literacy demands, resources, andsupports in economically disadvantaged urban U.S. elementary classrooms using the EiEcurriculum.

Flipped instruction can be particularly helpful in control-related courses byensuring that students still receive adequate instruction in control theory while making time forchallenging experimental projects. As reported by de la Croix and Egerstedt, students who aregiven challenging projects but not enough instruction in control theory often create complexcontrol algorithms that are not sound 15 . Conversely, students who receive control theory but arenot given experimental projects often have a difficult time implementing the theory they havelearned.Flipped instruction can be particularly powerful when augmented by low-cost, easy-to

from practices and experiments, from praxis. Because of the need for further praxis inliberatory engineering education as a pedagogical imperative, and the limited, almost nonexistentengagement between the topics we place in conversation (pedagogy, critical thinking, liberationpraxis and theory), this paper aims to initiate and catalyze attention on the subject matter, but itwill not aim to resolve some of the questions it opens. Rather, we emphasize the importance ofliberatory theory and praxis for contemporary engineering education and, then, suggest somecriteria that might guide praxis and broader shifts in pedagogical strategies. To that end, weintend for the project to prompt further research and discussion on these topics.Engineering
