Mindstorms, as an educationaltechnology and toy extension of LEGO products, is a proprietary programmable robotics kit thatis owned by the multinational LEGO Group. For both the educational and entertainment ver-sions, the centerpiece of the kit is called the programmable brick, which can be coded to manipu-late motors and sensors. LEGO Mindstorms and the programmable brick have firm roots in constructionism. At asurface level, its name references Papert’s 1980 book, Mindstorms: Children, Computers, andPowerful Ideas and

action.Critical reflection is embedded within a program that recruits both engineers and non-engineers,with teaching and learning strategies drawn from the social sciences and humanities andintegrated with engineering management and problem-based learning. The program connectsstudents to a project partner in Sierra Leone or Zambia, the students work to understand theirpartners’ needs and assets and then develop an intervention plan consistent with the aims of theSDGs.In this paper, we provide results of a critically reflexive thematic analysis to explore the nature ofstudent reflections within the context of this interdisciplinary program. Evidence suggests arange of student interpretation of the purpose and application of critical reflection. Some are

Additionally, the study of identity formation has proven useful in understandingpersistence in other domains23. This framework for measuring identity has been establishedthrough large scale studies in physics and mathematics18,22.Traditional roles for students create patterns for access to engineering professions and identity.While non-normative students bring many skills to engineering disciplines such as managing,planning, organizing, coordinating communications, and being cognizant of differentperspectives in group decision-making, these features are not always recognized as

study, students near the end of their BME undergraduateeducation are less likely to perceive BME in terms of its potential impact on society. This may bedue to an increased awareness of how the student as an individual will be asked to contribute tothe field as he or she nears graduation. Students within the degree program also appear to have agreater appreciation for BME as an interdisciplinary field with medicine and biology being thetwo most commonly included non-engineering disciplines. Finally, asking students to perform adesign-related task as part of their coursework may encourage the perception of BME in terms ofdevelopment or creation of new devices or processes.
