Students had beengiven formative feedback on these tasks, and neither instructors nor students felt they were ill-prepared to tackle the final exam task.Overall, instructors were pleased with the lower stress level of the students going into this typeof final, as well as the energy, excitement, and collaboration in the classroom. One instructorstates:I have never seen so much focus and energy in the classroom. It was wonderful. It truly was acelebration of learning. It was rewarding to see the students work together and help one another.Also, instructors took joy in

researchcollaborations with faculty at other institutions, and I stopped collaborating with faculty in myhome department of civil/environmental engineering. Juggling two research areas(environmental engineering and engineering education) was stressful. After narrowly beingawarded promotion to full professor despite having “two glasses half full” I finally receivedadvice from our (new) civil engineering department chair to follow my passion. So, I fullycommitted myself to educational research. I gave up my laboratory space. I have at timesstruggled with my new identity - I was once the skilled environmental engineering labresearcher. No longer.I have been on a journey to learn ‘how people learn’ and how to conduct educational research. Ilove learning new things

makerspace is not only about hands-on learning but about increasingly fullparticipation in a makerspace community of practice.3. RESEARCH SITE: THE STANFORD PRL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICEThis study is conducted in a learning laboratory, makerspace, and associated MCoP at StanfordUniversity: the Product Realization Lab (PRL). The PRL is both a physical space and socialcommunity. It is over 9,000ft2 of tools and materials (e.g. woodshop, machine shop, rapidprototyping, foundry) and a community of over 1,000 practicing designers and makers (e.g.students, instructors, industry experts) who are active in the PRL each year. It is a place whereideas and designs are realized; prototyping and iteration are celebrated [23]; self-efficacy is built[13,14] and

learning that also helps todevelop lateral and vertical thinking [27, 28, 29]. In addition, pedagogical research has shownthat this thinking should be integrated into a specific context [21]. Exploring different solutionsto project design creates lateral thinking, while choosing a solution develops vertical thinking.The project in Lima, which consisted of finding solutions for Asentamientos Humanos, wasdesigned with this learning technique. This engineering project also showed students from PennState the importance of being globally articulate and engaged. The students worked for abouttwo weeks on this project with 5 students from Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria in Peru in afabrication laboratory (FabLab) of another institution, Universidad
University. The University of East Anglia has been delivering a ‘Rotation PhD’in which students visit different labs in 10-week long research mini-projects, directed bydifferent supervisors and trained in different techniques. The ‘Integrated PhD’ at theUniversity of Southampton has offered 3 laboratory rotation projects after which the studentis awarded an MRes (Master of Research) and they then spend 3 more years deepening theirexpertise towards a PhD degree. These approaches have been successful over the years anddemonstrate an appetite for very varied, skills-training focused programs that provide theresearcher with broader knowledge and varied competencies that prepare them foremployment. However, these programs are typically found in
