realm of a computer screen, and has increased my interest in the program.SummaryThis paper presents the results of a work-in-progress implementation of an idea to integrate theMakerspace into first-year engineering curriculum. So far, we have seen encouraging results,active participation and liking among the student participants as shown in Table 1.Since this was started a year ago, we plan to conduct future surveys to track whether thesestudents used the Makerspace in the future semesters since the time they were exposed to thefacility as part of this FED101 course offering.

Reid, Ed.D.IntroductionAfrican American males attending four-year colleges and universities graduate at lower ratesthan most other demographic [1]. However, Black males and other students who perceive highlevels of institutional integration (i.e., faculty contact, peer cohesion and congruence with themainstream of campus life) are more likely to graduate [2], [3], [4].In-college perceptions and experiences [6] may interact with perceived self-efficacy [7] andracial identity attitudes [8] to idiosyncratically moderate

In the last matriculation model mentioned by Orr et. al., FTICstudents may matriculate into engineering programs after taking university level general-studiesprograms [1].To study engineering programs curriculum researchers have used different categorization modelsto differentiate engineering coursework. Adelman created an empirical core curriculum thatgeneralized 21 core course categories that accounted for 60% of the credit hours engineeringrecipients earned [4]. He reviewed the changes in empirical core curriculum between 1972-1984and 1982-1993 and noted that compared to any

DESIGN AND CREATION OF THE MAKING SOLUTION In order to address the need for a complete, fully interactive, yet easy-to-use printing systemin a cornerstone engineering design course, a final solution was developed over the course ofseveral semesters. This development process included initial iterations created by two separatecapstone design teams, with undergraduate research volunteers providing the final touches fordesign and construction.

The resulting eightcharacteristics will ideally provide greater cohesiveness between the course’s module content andthe scaffolding design projects. While projects that leverage the framework have been piloted,additional evaluation is still needed, such as assessing changes in engineering design self-efficacyduring the design project. Additionally, engagement with curriculum can be measured with a preand post open-ended survey asking students to describe the engineering design process; coding ofresponses could provide insight into how much or how little students understood and engaged withcourse content.5.

Inthe “Clean Water” lesson, teams are provided with a simple, low-cost water cleaning technique(e.g., coffee filters; various combinations of sand, gravel, and activated carbon; boiling; anddistillation) and “dirty” water samples.
