students, including students in rural areas and those who learn differently, in STEM education from pre-K through graduate studies. Her current work focuses on supporting and evaluating the construction of collaborative communities and building evaluation capacity within organizations and large-scale programs. In all efforts Adrienne works to (a) truly understand the purpose and needs for the evaluation or research undertaking, (b) develop feedback cycles that support continuous program improvement, (c) make implementation and impact data available and interpretable for program implementers, and (d) select the most rigorous, yet feasible analytic designs that are tailored to the unique needs of each program context.

recognition of the need tohave TAs and peer leaders prepared to support active learning in the lectures and recitations.With each subsequent year in the project, changes were implemented based on lessons learned inthe previous semester. In addition, the focus on cross-course connections has deepened, withfaculty not only looking at concepts that apply across courses but trying to understand whycertain concepts are not transferring. There has also been an increased use of assessments toidentify exactly where the students are having difficulty to address deficiencies in understanding(or, in some cases, gaps in prior knowledge). There are beginning to be more sophisticatedattempts to evaluate the success of the changes that had been made. For example

and authentic, the belief thateach member brings different and potentially useful information to the task, and theopportunity to iterate design ideas over time. Framing agency provides a lens forunderstanding the kinds of design learning experiences students need to direct their ownlearning and negotiate that learning with peers in design projects.IntroductionManaging design projects in undergraduate coursework is challenging, in large partbecause design problems are ill-structured, meaning there are many possible solutionsand framings of any design problem [2]. As engineering programs have increasinglyincorporated design challenges into first year and core courses, faculty must makedifficult decisions about feasibly managing design
