Data sources includedvideos of the teachers solving design problems, teachers’ written and oral reflections onengineering teaching experiences, and researcher field notes from the after-school week. Wegenerated thick descriptions of the cases of Ana and Ben and used these to develop conjecturesabout their engineering epistemologies. Following microethnographic methodology andstrategies from discourse analysis, we re-examined transcripts and other data artifacts forconfirming and disconfirming evidence of these conjectures.We found that Ana and Ben framed engineering learning as building knowledge

100 course are discussedin Section 5.2. Critical ThinkingThe term ―critical thinking‖ is one with which most people are familiar, but is difficult to easilydefine, as shown in1 where 89% of teachers interviewed claimed critical thinking to be animportant education objective, but only 19% were able to give a clear explanation of criticalthinking. One of the classic definitions of critical thinking comes from Robert Ennis: ―Criticalthinking is reasonable, reflective thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do‖2.This definition does a good job of briefly capturing three key elements of critical thinking:reason, reflection, and judgment (or as Ennis puts it so well – ―deciding what to do or believe‖).The element of reason in

Yet, teamwork skills are rarely “taught” inengineering curricula; in fact, compared to business representatives, university educators havebeen found to underestimate the value of teamwork KSAs. Instead, students are expected todevelop teamwork and leadership skills via a sink-or-swim approach where they are assignedgroup work and left to perform as they can. Often, these poor teamwork experiences combinedwith the lack of training and opportunities for guided reflection lead to students disliking workingin groups, impacting not just the cognitive but also the affective domain of learning.In response to this identified weakness, a committee of representatives from the Faculty ofEngineering and other support units at the University of

limitations of the self-efficacy construct have been identified. Onesuch is a critique that the construct serves more as a reflection of motivation rather than adeterminant and therefore researchers should endeavor to understand the various sources of self-efficacy in greater depth in order to interpret its meaning [5]. These insights motivate a deeperinvestigation into the relevance of self-efficacy in this context.Our students’ transformation as they undergo design-build experiences is likely multi-faceted.

Nevertheless, for these courses to be effective, they must offer GTAs opportunities tolearn, apply, and reflect on different teaching practices so they develop competencies associatedwith the TPACK domains.
