Much of the research on precollege informal learningexperiences focuses on mathematics and science exploration. [3-5]Research also reveals thatAfrican American male children have to contend with their multiple competing identities, withrespect to participating in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) relatedactivities, and their status among peers in their community. There are examples ofmathematically gifted African American boys who

For example, Sheri Sheppardspoke about her work in “facilitating people getting up to speed in this,” and “helping peoplelearn to do the work at high quality.” She gave the example of mentoring a fellow engineeringprofessor “on how you do this other kind of writing. And how do you make arguments now on adifferent kind of data than she’s ever been used to working with.” In other words, Sheppard hasleveraged her own experience and knowledge of doing

comparison of the InterdisciplinaryExperimental Engineering Project Course to a capstone course is offered in this paper.I. IntroductionMost engineering and technology programs require their undergraduate students to take a seniordesign/capstone course to complete the degree. Most capstone courses are yearlong or a semesterlong, are specific to the student’s major, and are designed to demonstrate, in some way, thestudent’s knowledge of the discipline. To fulfill the requirements of a capstone course, thestudent accomplishes a field-specific project by herself/himself and is required to prepare apaper, a presentation, and/or poster to present the project before a group of peers. In some cases,industrial advisory board members are invited to the

It has been shown that ifstudents have a strong, positive conviction about their knowledge in engineering, then they aremore likely to succeed academically in the specific subject, as

Cech found that the need to meet accreditation requirements and be considered,“legitimate purveyors of knowledge” [10, p. 64] can put pressure on even the most ethically andpedagogically innovative of schools to fall into the same culture of disengagement. The study found thatwhile all four of the engineering programs studied showed a decrease in the perceived importance of publicwelfare amongst students as they progressed through their time in school, programs perceived by studentsas focusing on ethical and social issues, with a general education and writing skills emphasis, and a focuson policy implications overall found ethical responsibilities

It belongs to people, notjust as ‘users’ but as protagonists of their dimensional lives” [1, p. 23]. Hendren’s invocation of avision of engineering as radically human-centered provided the philosophical and humanisticcore to our interdisciplinary teaching team as we embarked on designing a new course forfirst-year students at Boston College (BC).
