Despite this interest, few university science or engineering programs dedicateformal coursework in public communication to undergraduate or graduate students 21. Whenprograms do offer such training, they are usually limited to teaching students to write intraditional genres such as press releases, newspaper-style articles, and essays13, 14, and fail toconsider more personal, informal, and affective forms of communication such as face-to-faceconversations that can occur through science cafes or street science 22, 23 or to make use ofmultimedia genres such as podcasts, blogs, or

Her research to date has focused on educational designs that emphasize learner ini- tiative and agency through inquiry or problem-based learning in formal and informal learning contexts. She has published several papers on the characteristics of learning environments that support or constrain opportunities for any students (including those from non-dominant backgrounds) to participate in key science and engineering process skills such as scientific argumentation. Her work is largely informed by the principles and perspectives on human development and cognition articulated by Cultural Historical Activity Theory. Putting theory into practice, she teaches a service-learning

textbooks as correct scientific concepts. This issue raises two major questions: (1) the quality of science textbooks written for novice youth audiences, and (2) the professional preparedness of instructors teaching about natural phenomena and science in K-12 and beyond.Misconceptions about electricityThe concept of electricity is usually difficult to understand because of human inability to observeit directly [13]. Numerous research studies diagnosed common student misconceptions in thisfield. Some studies [20], [12], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25] detected the following: Beliefs that a battery is a source of constant current. This is perhaps the most pervasive and persistent difficulty that students have with DC circuits; Failure

While his teaching responsibilities typically include digital de- sign, computer-related electives, and senior design, his focus in the classroom is to ignite passion in his students for engineering and design through his own enthusiasm, open-ended student-selected projects, and connecting engineering to the world around them. His research interests are primarily experimental wireless networking and the application

Such courses usually focus on the material covered inclassical texts such as those of Spotts (1997), Shigley (1989), or Juvinall (1991). Thesetextbooks, for the most part, cover the fundamentals of solid mechanics, factors of safety, and theanalysis of discrete machine components.At the University of Texas, undergraduate mechanical engineering students enroll in a machinedesign class during the early part of their junior year. This course, known as ME 338 –Fundamentals of Machine Elements, focuses on a balance between solid mechanics theory and asurvey of machine elements, such as gears, bearings, and springs.

A few years ago the course was re-worked and 1taught by several senior faculty, using different approaches. In 1996-‘97, the course was movedinto the Freshman 3rd quarter to strengthen the motivation of the new recruits. This course had toappeal to people who had little background in calculus or mechanics.

laboratory projects in the middle years [27]–[29].Engineering teams offer a mode for interdisciplinarity and task delegation so students can finishlarge and complicated projects within the span of a course. What is not often taught, however,are the various skills necessary in the social processes that make teaming effective:communication, delegation, and conflict resolution, to name a few [30]–[32]. The socialcircumstances in which these skills become relevant can reveal hidden epistemologies that guidethe teaming process, especially when gender differences and dynamics are considered [21].Within engineering, these epistemologies are woven into the culture of engineering learningenvironments and often the engineering field itself [18].
