-making does take place during engineering designexperiences in culturally and linguistically diverse urban classrooms, and we present two studentgroup case studies to support that argument. We discuss implications of this work for elementaryengineering instructional design, pedagogy, and educational research.IntroductionIn its Framework for K-12 Science Education, the National Research Council writes, “Engineers,too, make decisions based on evidence that a given design will work; they rarely rely on trial anderror” (NRC, 2012, p. 62). For engineers to plan feasible solutions and revise solutions they havealready tested, they need to engage in reflective decision-making that takes into accountinformation about design options.

instructor? Animplementation intention is a clear strategy for achieving a goal, in the form of an “if-then”plan, that specifies the when, where and how a goal is to be reached1. For example, “If I havejust finished my 10AM circuits class, then I will go to the library and work on my calculushomework until my next class.” There is a rich body of literature in the field of psychologyshowing the success of implementation intentions, applied to things as diverse as exercise,impulse control, and overcoming addiction. However, prior to this study, very little work hasbeen done applying this practice to academics.Authors of motivational theories assert intentions play a causal role in behavior, including thetheory of reasoned action2 and the theory of

Theprevious version of the VCS has shown great potential in enhancing students’ motivation andbasic learning of dynamic construction concepts, traditionally acquired through practicalexperience. A new version has been developed utilizing the ADDIE (analyze, design, develop,implement, evaluate) framework for the design of instructional material. Through thedevelopment of the VCS4, we aim to illustrate how a rigorous analysis of cognitive models andtheories, instructional design guidelines for multimedia learning, fundamentals of humancomputer interaction theories, and 4D simulation

Similarly, it is incumbent upon the present generation ofengineering practitioners to pass on their knowledge and expertise so the next generation ofengineers can develop into competent professionals. Mentoring capstone students provides an excellent opportunity for practitioners to impart theirwealth of knowledge. Students can learn general engineering concepts, as well as subdiscipline-specific skills useful for the creation of accurate designs and realistic project management plans. During the 2013-2014 academic year, an all-female capstone team learned the value ofmentoring from female construction industry practitioners. Moreover, utilizing their capstoneproject as a platform

First we categorized the engineeringgraduates into seven occupational groups, and then we compared these seven groups along sixother measures of doing engineering work. Four years after graduation, graduates employed inengineering and computer-related occupations tended to identify themselves, their currentposition, and future plans as engineering-related, while graduates

Next, we examined factorsthat influence USRG participants’ selection of graduate school at the conclusion of the USRGprogram.

Accordingly, each criterion hasits own set of key performance measures (KPMs). For every KPM, there is one or more keyperformance indicator (KPI) to enable the measurement. Every KPI has its own analytic rubricthat will aid the calculation of different indicators including a one main indicator called theSustainability Indicator (SI) – See Figure 2. The nine criteria are expanded into 34 KPMs.The sustainability criteria upon which we judge SoTE is shown in Table 1.
