This diverse, expert audience gave the participants practice in communicating researchand receiving feedback from decision makers, which are important skills for future careers inSTEM and beyond.6 Evaluation ApproachTwo approaches were used to evaluate the program. First, participants were surveyed at thebeginning and end of the program. These pre- and post-surveys were identical, collecting bothscaled scores and open-ended responses. Second, anonymous qualitative reflections werecollected weekly from the participants to gauge specific areas of strength, challenge, andimprovement.6.1 Pre- and Post-surveysA questionnaire was developed to

During this three-year period, she has begunto question who and what engineering is for, as well as who benefits from (or suffers the costof) engineering decisions. In part, her interests are born out of the frustrations experiencedwhen faced with a lack of support and recognition for work that was considered to falloutside of the engineering discipline. She is thus interested in the way in which the locationof disciplinary boundaries, norms and cultures act to exclude certain groups of people.Natalie is committed to social justice and her research and teaching have coalesced aroundthemes of critical reflection and critical thinking.

engineering. One way that decision-making isemphasized in K8 classrooms is through teachers’ discourse, through their choice to emphasizecertain practices like data-based design decisions [2] or request scientific reasoning andjustifications for design decisions [3]. This framing by teachers can be taken up by students intheir decision-making discourse, leading to complex and productive decision-making.Wendell, Wright, and Paugh put forward the Reflective Decision-Making (RDM) framework in2017, drawing on a qualitative study of urban elementary school students. The authors includeevidence to support six elements of RDM: articulating multiple solutions, evaluating pros andcons, intentionally selecting a solution, retelling the performance of a

First,the number of views were considered in unison with the average view duration. The lessonsthat had a higher number of views with a higher view duration were indicative of betterquality material. Higher quality camps were reflected in lessons with more steady viewership(more consistent number of views) with a slightly higher number of views expected for thefirst lesson since the directions for how to flash the program onto the board were given inthe first lesson.

It offers a wide variety of positions due to the growth of jobs, insufficientgraduates of aerospace engineering programs, and the changes in the supply chain [28-30].The A&D industry recruits electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and computer-relatedengineers, even more than recruiting graduates with explicit aerospace engineering degrees[30]. Therefore, organizations in the A&D industry reflect the features that manyorganizations may have across different engineering disciplines.Thus, the similarities and differences between proactive actions taken

That study, while useful, left unanswered questions which became the genesisof the current study concerning not just service but compassion in engineering. Compassion is oftdefined as the awareness of the suffering or distress of others combined

While the students’ attitude can be hard to quantify andinterpret, through the post-camp survey, we seek to answer the question of their preparedness andproficiency in engineering design, electronics circuit, and computer programming in the context ofrobot design.

In addition to describingdifferences in problem variations and representations, Jonassen [5] describes the “individualdifferences” that a problem-solver brings to bear on a problem. These include knowledge –domain-specific knowledge, structural knowledge (how different knowledge domains integratetogether), procedural knowledge (know-how), and conceptual knowledge – as well as othercognitive skills/traits like general problem-solving strategies, cognitive controls (likemetacognition, and reflection-in-action [6]), self-confidence, motivation, and personalepistemology.

signals show thebasic level of skin conductance in the human body whereas phasic signals show the changes inskin conductance due to external stimuli like noises, sound, and lighting [38]. The phasic signalalso reflects changes in emotional intensity like high arousal [38].In literature, a few studies have used biometric data to analyze the programmers’ emotions. Girardiet al., used EEG, EDA, BVP, and HR to identify emotions experienced by the developers and theevents that trigger those emotions [39]. They found that although developers experience a widerange of emotions during programming tasks, emotions related to negative valence and higharousal were most common. These emotions were triggered by unexpected code behavior, missingdocumentation

Prior research by Bong (1999)has also indicated that women are generally less confident in terms of engineering andtechnology-related areas compared with males, and women may also underestimate their abilitiesand interest in STEM due to gender stereotypes and societal ideologies that males may be morecapable in such fields than females, which could result in females reporting lower self-efficacy(Lee et al., 2019). This is thus a reflection that there are indeed gender differences in teachers’efficacy related to engineering. This hence reflects that male teachers portrayed higher self-efficacy

CarletonUniversity has adapted and expanded the York framework and created a mapping to Kolb’stheoretical model of experiential learning. Kolb’s model posits that humans are naturally capableof learning, and that experience plays a critical role in knowledge construction and acquisition.In other words, learning occurs when someone creates knowledge through experientialtransformations (A.

. There is a gap between these collective experiences and the messaging shared withprospective students that majoring in engineering is for those that want to be “creative problem-solvers: and “design the future,” such as proffered by the National Academy of Engineering’sChanging the Conversation project [1]. The motivation for this paper and the research into thetopic came from the primary author’s desire to explore this thought process of peer engineeringstudents during their undergraduate coursework.This research explores and examines undergraduate mechanical engineering students’ curriculumat a singular university site and where creativity currently fits. Students are asked to reflect onprevious projects and educational experiences to
