They can connect their future work to the businessworld as well. It keeps them motivated during the early period of their undergraduate programsbecause they see immediate relevance to that which they are working on. Adding a makerspacecomponent to this process further reinforces the “hand-on” nature of engineering problemsolving and iterative design processes.15,16Impacts of human centered

Julie is a former NSF program director for engineering education and frequently works with faculty to help them write proposals and navigate the proposal preparation and grant management processes. She was a 2009 NSF CAREER awardee for her work operationalizing social capital for engineering education. More recently, Julie has encouraged the engineering education research community to embrace methodological activism, a paradigm whereby researchers intentionally choose methods for the political purpose of empowering marginalized

The main onesinclude the following: To address attrition of first year engineering students, the university embarked on an “engineering reimagined” strategy to bolster student success and improve retention. One of this paper’s authors, and an instructor in the course for three years prior to the redesign, noticed early on that it was
