● Visiting a local café with a mission to educate the public on the importance of bees to the ecology ● Reading an Engineering Design textbook and a selection of articles on innovation ● Guest lecture on aesthetics and art inquiry A detailed Course Description and Calendar may be found in Appendix 1. The coursemet twice a week for one hour and twenty minutes. We designed the homework, projects, andpresentations to address the following overarching themes: ● Weeks One and Two focused on Defining the Problem both through topical research and nonlinear concept mapping. ● Weeks Three and Four introduced students to Arts Based Inquiry. ● Week Five focused on concepts

University Dr. Olusola O. Adesope is an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at Washington State Uni- versity, Pullman. His research is at the intersection of educational psychology, learning sciences, and instructional design and technology. His recent research focuses on the cognitive and pedagogical un- derpinnings of learning with computer-based multimedia resources; knowledge representation through interactive concept maps; meta-analysis of empirical research, and investigation of instructional princi- ples and assessments in STEM. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Incorporating faculty sensemaking in the implementation and modification of an
, corresponding with Phase 1, this datadoes not provide a comprehensive overview of changes in teachers’ nanotechnology contentknowledge or their conceptualizations of this phenomena. Specifically, what the constructs wehave utilized portray is teachers’ self-reported understanding or perceptions. In the future, wehope to triangulate this data with other objective measures of teachers’ understanding ofnanotechnology. Specifically, with the subsequent RET cohorts, we intend to implement acontent test and utilize concept mapping to understand changes in both teachers’ contentknowledge of fundamental nanotechnology concepts as well as their conceptualizations ofnanotechnology.Second, in addition to the limitations with the STIR described in the discussion

development and public policy. The students will participate in an active discussion and develop concept maps to illustrate some social, political and ethical considerations that are often part of the engineering work. The students will be given their first assignment which will be to focus on selecting a case study area. Potential topic areas might include, but are not limited to, topics such as sea-level rise, transit-oriented development, pollution reduction, increasing resilience of cities, crime patterns, renewable energy portfolios, social justice, etc. The discussion will focus on the role of computer technology in community development and public policy.

items, and Good to Be Familiar With items. The Enduring Understandings items are themost important of the Curricular Priorities, and are “what students should take away from theirstudies long after a given course has ended” (Hansen, 2011, p. 37). Important to Know items arethe second most important of the Curricular Priorities, and are “important knowledge, skills, andconcepts that have connective and transfer power” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2004, p. 72). Good toBe Familiar With items are the least important of the Curricular Priorities, and is “knowledgethat students should be familiar with” (Wiggins & McTighe, 2004, p. 72). One tool that is helpfulto develop Curricular Priorities is a concept map, which is a graphical way of organizing
