It is to help you find out if you want tobe an engineer and, do you have what it takes to be an engineer? So, at the end of my first levelone class, if a student says, "Wow, I found out I really don't want to go into engineering," wellthat's a win. Here

In addition, according to Grahame, Freeman, and Levi [18], students gain abetter understanding of the community and become more open minded through service-learning.“They become better engineers.”Future WorkThis was a pilot study to determine the practicality of implementing a multi-year multi-teamiterative service-oriented project. The project was a success. Similar type of projects can beapplied using the basic scaffold.

manifest in this way leaving opportunities for educators to be mindful inworking toward equal-status in engineering teams. We have highlighted with a few briefexamples what high-status vs. equal-status vs. low-status can look like in a team. We believe it isimportant to be explicit about good teaming behaviors and call out what it can look like whenteammates are not treating each other equally or fairly. For example, in the example wepresented of a high-status member, the actions of Student A could be interpreted as the studentbeing decisive and a leader, behaviors we certainly like to see in students; however, if the studentis not aware of the fact that they are making unilateral decisions, they could begin to alienateother team members.

Keep in mind that there is no differencebetween the GPA for men and women. Examples of questions that show that these areperformance-based are: 1. “I can do well on exams in engineering.” (EI), 2. I can overcomesetbacks in engineering (EI), 3. “I think in the same way as do people who do well in chemicalengineering at X University.” (Belonging) 4. “Compared with most other students at XUniversity, I know how to do well in chemical engineering.” (Belonging).

guidance for understanding and improving the design ofmakerspaces and similar learning environments.1. INTRODUCTIONEach year students arrive at the steps of engineering colleges eager to become engineers.University makerspaces have emerged as a space where engineering students appear increasinglydrawn. An academic makerspace is part workshop, part classroom, and part community ofpractice. It is a place where real-world challenges are married with hands-on approaches; wherestudents are encouraged to prototype and realize ideas; where design meets manufacturing; andwhere a student’s mind, hands, and heart can be integrally intertwined. Learning in makerspacesis different than learning in typical engineering labs or classrooms not merely because of
