We have developed a classroom-basedintervention that provides statics students with training in the utility of question-asking andfrequent opportunities to submit written questions about what they are either confused or curiousabout in the course. One goal of our project is to evaluate whether and how the nature andquality of student questions changes throughout the

SCCTemphasizes the role of relevant interests in career development. Within SCCT's Choice Modeland Interest Model, interest directly links self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and career-relatedchoices [9]. Because of this, many studies seeking to affect student's interest in engineeringcareers focus on increasing student self-efficacy and outcome expectations.

engineering.Maintaining epistemological uncertainty in engineering work is an inherent part of expansivethinking. As students make space for including social, political, and economic aspects inengineering work, they question what is valuable (what should be foregrounded) and how theycan include these aspects. By maintaining uncertainty, they explore new sociotechnicalimaginaries of what designs are possible, especially from the standpoint of equity and socialjustice. These uncertainties are not static and are not necessarily shared between all members inone group. At any given moment, students’ uncertainty may be raised, dismissed, ignored, oracknowledged (Jordan & McDaniel, 2014).MethodsThis study is part of a larger NSF-funded project to integrate

Furthermore, we added, “An interactive moving picture is better than asimple moving picture,” (by adding interactivities). Ultimately, our goal is to build an onlineuser-interactive teaching/learning system, featuring animation and simultion for physicalprinciples, mathematical derivations and engineering implementations, so as to fulfill themedical imaging education tasks optimally.
