effectiveness. Many items in WA11GAP cannot bequantified, leading to subjective grading based on rubrics. Furthermore, items about awareness ormindsets such as The Engineer and the World”, “Ethics”, and “Lifelong learning” are not subject tograding, making them of lower priority in learners' ordinary minds. Therefore, increasing awareness ofsuch items and conducting reflections through feedback on achievements that have not been graded buthave been acquired by participants in post-program feedback are expected to contribute to the qualitativeimprovement of engineering education.Regarding the applicability of the text-mining method, this approach is suitable for arranging informationcontained in writing at various levels, such as letters, words, and

Engineering Education, 2020 Engagement in Practice: The SMU Maker Education ProjectIntroductionFor nearly two decades, collections of like-minded individuals have united to createmakerspaces in their communities. Community makerspaces serve as places where people cancongregate, access high-tech tools and materials, share design knowledge, and make unique andpersonally-relevant items [1]. This phenomenon, known as the maker movement, has spread toinstitutions such as universities, libraries, and museums [2], [3]. A number of these institutionshave created makerspaces and launched maker programming with the goal of fostering the skillsand mindsets commonly exhibited by the people participating in the maker movement [4].More recently, K-12

This program incorporated scholarship fundsand structural supports to help students successfully navigate their engineering undergraduatedegree program. These supports were chosen with specific target populations in mind, namelylow-income, first-generation, mathematically underprepared, and minority students. The projectteam chose to employ personas in an attempt to create a rubric that allowed for the holistic,subjective, “I know it when I see it” style of selecting students who showed a need for thescholarship program while having a shared vision of what “it” is.
