Interviews incorporate ethnographic methods and include six structured questions designed to fit into a twenty-minute interview format [32]. The questions cover what stu- dents like best about the ISBL modules and level of choice related to the simulated system, suggestions for improvement, navigation experience, impact on learning, recommendations for future users, and an “Anything else to add” question. Interview notes are analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques from Grounded Theory to produce a set of

Design activity engagement within thesocial context of capstone courses can be influenced by a student's identity, but little research hasbeen done on understanding this influence.Our investigation in the overarching study is informed by the concepts of situated cognition [1]and engagement within engineering practice [2], both accounting holistically for the contextwithin which design activities are performed. Additionally, we account for frameworks definingpersonal engagement as a state in which “people employ and express themselves physically,cognitively, emotionally, and mentally during role performances” [3, p. 694] to better understandstudent engagement through a specific role within a capstone team.In this paper, we provide a better

It is the result of a research project focused on understanding and identifying the ways in which teachers and schools implement engineering and engineering design in their classrooms. The framework is designed to be used as a tool for evaluating the degree to which academic standards, curricula, and teaching practices address the important components of a quality K-12 engineering education. Additionally, this framework can be used to inform the development and structure of future K-12 engineering education standards and initiatives

by instructors to meet their preferredobjectives. Therefore, while they may be prerequisites to second-year courses, first-yearengineering programs are not necessarily integrated into an engineering curriculum. Further,since they are often designed with little consideration for best practices in introductory coursedesign, overall outcomes and content vary widely. This leads to the issue of course developers“reinventing the wheel,” considering successful models are not adequately disseminated. Theproblem is further exacerbated by a lack of definition for first year models. Despite a developerknowing what they want in a course, he or she may not be able to find a course with similaroutcomes with nothing more than "first year engineering" as a
