Students created concept maps of the EntrepreneurialMindset before their design project started and then they were asked to iterate on the map afterthey completed their design project. This study examines the concept maps and uses anautomated scoring tool to complete traditional and categorical scoring. The results show that thecomplexity of the maps did increase

A school that actively participates in neighborhood activities unites students,teachers, staff, and community stakeholders. This increases a school’s ability to produce engagedand civic minded citizens. Students participating in community projects gain a sense of belongingand security which can lead to academic success as well as civic engagement.

Results of the research will help us better understand the experiences offemale engineering students in the Electrical Engineering Department at Qatar University. Thepurpose of this engineering education research project was to propose strategies that may helpbalance the gender gap in STEM fields and increase the representation of female students, mainlyin engineering majors in US, based on the lessons learned from Qatar University study.

Ways of Knowing” was a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded, Research onthe Formation of Engineering grant that concluded in Fall 2016 (Grant #: 1160350 and1541358). The broad purpose of this narrative research project was to explore the role of emotionas a core aspect of connected ways of knowing in engineering student learning and professionalformation. There were 21 participants in this project who were undergraduate engineeringstudents in a small engineering program at a large Research 1 university. The students werediverse in their engineering disciplines, years in the program, gender, and race/ethnicity. In thispaper, we will provide an introduction to the importance of studying emotions in engineeringstudent learning, an overview of
teachers and the curriculum provider Engineering byDesign (EbD). Our workpresents an integration of novel curriculum materials—soft robotics, in contrast to traditionalrobotics—and methods—design-based research—to shed light on high-school student STEMperceptions and how instructional design can be leveraged to affect those perceptions. We arenearing completion of year two of the project, and are able to share findings relevant to ASEE’sPrecollege Engineering Education Division including lessons learned from the application ofdesign-based research methods; the present state of our curriculum materials; and preliminaryfindings regarding changes in student STEM motivation, self-efficacy, and interest in the contextof the curriculum experience.Novel

Prior to the first project, students didinteractive activities in active listening and shared leadership, and wrote team contracts thatdiscussed communication channels, tasks, meeting times, as well as group behaviors that each ofthem dislike (awareness of the undesirable behaviors is the first step in avoidance). After theproject, each student did a reflection of the teaming and identified any dysfunctional behaviors.They had training on conflict resolutions and how to have “difficult conversations” using role-playing of
