The current study explored children and parents’ perceptions of and reactions tofrustration and failure within an out-of-school, home-based engineering program. Specifically,we asked 1) How was failure perceived by participating families? and 2) What was thesubsequent action/reaction to that failure? Data were derived from post-program interviews withchildren and parents who participated in a home-based, elementary engineering programinvolving take-home kits and self-identified engineering projects.

However, it is also to be mentioned that the expertise students develop in this course is seldom used in other courses except, perhaps, in design courses or projects.3 Contrary to ABET requirements which are based on a programme’s outcome, CEAB requirements are linked to the process, to the programmes themselves. According to CEAB, engineering programmes must include a minimum of 1 8000 AU (accreditation units) and this number is broken down as follows: mathematics (195 AU), basic sciences (225 AU), engineering sciences and engineering design (minimum total of 900 AU and

workshops focusing on the Scientific Method are typically included as a one or two class period discovery-based activity. Most students schooled in the US learn the Scientific Method in grade school, but lose track of it or consider it to be something for grade school science projects, not for the real world and not for engineers. The instructors emphasize that discovery is really the application of the Scientific Method, regardless what age or discipline. In addition, a workshop on team formation is generally conducted, wherein teams are formed. The interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter is emphasized and since the class size is very small, teams are generally formed based on common interest in a

process as it is a technical one, and that compromise is a key part of creating asuccessful design. To play the game, four students, each with a different role, form a design teamand are tasked with developing a structure that meets the different sets of constraints posed byeach role. The four roles are the structural engineer, thermal engineer, project manager, andarchitect. Each team must design a residence in an imaginary world which they build with redand blue triangles on a diamond grid. The red and blue tiles mean different things to each player.For example, the thermal engineer sees the red triangles as heat-producing elements, while theproject manager sees them as a representation of cost. Each player also has different constraintsthat
